If you're new to Malaysian Food, a classic Malaysian street food you must try is the Roti Canai, made by Malaysian Indians, also known as Mamak food. Mamak simply means Malaysian Muslim Indian, and their food is what keeps me coming back to Malaysia to eat! There are also many Mamak stall restaurants that serve many other Indian influenced food throughout Malaysia.
This stall is famous for it's Roti Canai, which is an Indian influenced flatbread that is found throughout Malaysia! The one here on transfer road is very famous in Penang, known for it's curry. The Roti Canai bread combined with their mutton curry, chicken curry, and beef curry, which are all spicy and very tasty. If you come to Penang, you have to try out this awesome street food!
I'm so addicted to Malaysian cuisine! In my opinion, Kuala Lumpur, Penang and Malacca (Melaka) are the best places to sample Malaysian food. Kuala Lumpur street food is awesome, so is Penang street food, and Melaka Street Food is also out of this world! You can't go wrong! But out of these three destinations, my favourite overall is Penang, because cuisine in Penang somehow just has that upper edge, perhaps because my favourite foods in the world are Indian and Chinese, and Penang just has the perfect culinary culture to accommodate excellent cuisine within those two categories! You can find amazing Chinese food and Indian food in Penang, so you will never be disappointed if those are your favourite foods like me!

HUGE THANKS to ExpressVPN for offering all Food Ranger viewers 3 months free and 49% off their yearly package using this link: ExpressVPN.com/Thefoodranger . Travelers need ExpressVPN to stay safe online and to unblock any site. I personally use it for Netflix, even while at home in Canada, but also while traveling to unblock content and episodes that are geoblocked, and I also use it for security, because airport wifi and hotel wifi is often very insecure, leaving my data vulnerable. By connecting to one of their servers around the world, it’s just like my computer or phone is in that location, and all data sent while connected to their VPN is secure, safe, and private from others to see, so I know that my data won’t be hacked or looked at by others. Thanks so much for watching, and we have tons more videos coming up for you! Please leave me a comment below letting me know what you thought about this episode, thanks so much!!!
I ate here last year. I arrived in Penang after midnight and awoke to this place accross the street from my room off Jalan Transfer. What a great meal. Roti canai and te tarek. Breakfast of champions.
It's not te tarek it's teh tarik
People might wonder the cleanliness of eating street foods in Malaysia 😂 Don't worry, in Malaysia most of the stalls are clean, if not don't you think the locals and the foreigners (it's a hotspot) would have filed a complain? If you are not confident, then you can find a 'restaurant' which I supposed will serve the same satisfaction of eating Malaysian foods. But again, tak Malaysia lah kalau tak makan gerai!
PS: A few months more to 'suffer' in America before eating Malaysian foods!
Malaysian food is the best! Thanks for your comment Rawr!
why the hell that "rojak" song stuck in my head. its like a curse or sumthing.. rojak rojak rojak rojak rojak rojak rojak
+mohdridzuanzainal HAHAHAHA
same here man...rojak..rojak...rojak...
rojak rojak rojak rojak
gotta cure it with some rojak..
I just watched that rojak video. and oh my gawd the rojak song is stuck.. i keep hearing rojak rojak rojak rojak rojak rojak.. i need to come to penang one day!
Dang your videos are getting more professional yet maintaining the natural style, your own originality. You're cut out for this. You make it look so natural as it is anyway. Uhmm, unlike mark wiens who makes spastic constipated faces after each bite. The food looks good too! YOU made it look good.
I like how Mark reacts! They both are great.
both are great and great.
I love Penang street food is the best. Three finger Archery, the rickshaw driver will show you the some of the best local spots for food and other local activity. Roti and dal and curry gravy for breakfast so good. Multi regional Indian Chinese and Malaysian food with all the fusions. Can't wait to return. Thanks for reminding us of how good Penang food is.
Trevor.. I look at what I'm currently eating (a piece of bread and jam) and what you're eating.. and there is no comparison. You're making me want to go to Malaysia now the food looks so delicious!
I still tell people stories of the first time I tried Roti Canai in Penang in the 90's. I made the same sounds you made when eating it! Good show you have, better than I see on TV locally for sure
+mayalipat haha that's great to hear, thank you!
All that for roughly 3.50$ Wow! I need to explore more countries.
+Sergio Gerard Yes it was very delicious! mmmm
+Sergio Gerard Penang has the 2nd(or 3rd) best street food in the world. The price, would make it first on the list! Cheap and generous in portions, it makes me really happy to be a Penangite. Everything is amazing. And we have very beautiful beaches too!
+Sergio Gerard any asian country you go to. and best of luck. once you go to asia you will go again and again
One of the best roti canai in Penang Island Malaysia
Me , my grandfather and my father all passed away 😂😂😂

i laughing so bad ...😂
hahaha...meet you in heaven...
you the man, living the dream. good work on vids. thanks.
+goldmangsinc Thanks so much!
I am from Penang but now live in Australia and only go back to Penang every few years so I love watching your videos on Penang! It really brings back great memories! Thanks for the video and look forward to many more!
+Mimi&Dale Monk Thank you Mimi and Dale! Yes, Penang is true food heaven!
Spreading the joy wherever you go. Roll on, Trev, roll on.
You are awesome! I like how respectful you are to tue locals and very appreciative. Have you been to Philippines?
I haven't been to the philippines yet!
+The Food Ranger you should visit Philippines!!!
+The Food Ranger you should visit Philippines!!!
+The Food Ranger you should visit Philippines!!!
+The Food Ranger you should visit Philippines!!!
What a great ambassador you are ... People really are great when you get them to open up. Keep up the good work! Bud in Forney, Texas.
+Milo Miller Hi Bud, thanks a lot! Yes, I completely agree with you!
Hi Trevor, Remember me? I'm the guy who shared ride with you at Wangsa Maju, Kuala Lumpur some time ago. Awesome videos by the way!!
it is my hometown and im missing it.. will be few more months before i can get back to my hometown and eat all the foods... glad u r enjoying the food there
This video deserves at least 10,000 thumbs up for the guy at 1:35. Plus the food looks scrumptious.
+Dan Lee haha yeah!
I am glad you love Malaysian food! I am Malaysian myself! My favourite Penang dishes are: hokkien mee (prawns noodle), char koay teow and Assam laksa! I am a food blogger. So I totally understand your love for food! 😋
+L Tan That's awesome! May I ask if you have any location suggestions for those dishes in Penang? Cheers!!
+The Food Ranger | Trevor James when I went back last year I tried Jalan Siam char koay teow, which we waited for over 30-45 minutes at the opposite coffee shop. It was good! However I think it's more on the oily side and slightly "heavy" as lard is used I believe. But overall taste is how a Char Koay Teow should be and worth a try. You may have different opinion. I haven't lived in Malaysia for quite a while so might not be the best person to recommend. Currently on HK. Let me know when you head over here!
dude im so glad you are out there doing this. i love foreign food but every other channel dosent show the food you find im the heart if that country
+Taylor Wysong Thanks a lot Taylor!
+The Food Ranger | Trevor James no problem! you def get my sub. is there anyway you could go to another country? maybe like germany?
Showed some of your vids to my dad. Both of us are so envious. You're so lucky, dude! I'd give anything to be able to accompany you when you do these and try all those dishes....and speak the language as well as you. You're ready for the prime time btw....Food Network.👍🏻
+Sock Owe haha thanks Sock! Glad to hear you enjoy!!
very taste
+Pie Crust Yes, it was very, very taste!
That should be a new rating description, "4.7 - Very Taste"
I'm from Penang and I'm glad you're enjoying my hometown!
+strbuxgurl818 Awesome!! I love it here!!
"Worth Moving Here" .. haha.. indeed. I was in penang for nine years.
+Ydal Schuless It's so true! haha!
It's relatively mild because you eat it for breakfast. You can also get an egg broken into the roti before it's cooked.
Sweet versions can have banana, fresh coconut, or chocolate in the dough.
+UncleGweilo I love that so much! Thanks for your comment!
I am so blessed that I live around all these delicious food.
Haha I believe the camera man does not get enough credit! The filming and smoothness is flawless. Keep up the good work!
+ricowtfyoufailorg That's so nice of you to say, thank you!
It was my first meal in Penang for breakfast. Just walking distance from my hotel. I couldnt agree more for the delicious chicken or mutton curry sambal. Very strong flavour. Roti canai at jalan transfer is highly recommended.
+Yeyen Aksara Leo Yeah it is too tasty! It was close to my hotel too!
The best thing about penang is the mamak food I swear. I'm glad you like it!
+Hafsah Barnett I totally agree. WOW!
Hey Trevor, I would like to start by saying I am a huge fan. "Mutton" is traditionally thought of as the meat from an adult sheep. "Lamb" is the meat from a baby sheep (also called a lamb). However, in the Indian Subcontinent, mutton is universally thought of as goat meat. What did the mutton sambal taste like in this episode? Are these vendors serving lamb, mutton or goat? Great show! Keep it up!
Yes a lot of food reviewers have given good remarks on this roti canai stall, would love to see more videos on Malaysian food!
+Giri Nair It is a very good spot! mmm
Like Mexican food
I've been watching your videos non stop. Keep the good stuff coming.
+Sumitro Johanes Hey Sumitro, thanks a lot, glad you enjoy the videos!
What on earth am I doing in Germany? I should be that awesome food.
+Sander Van Hove Yeah it's really good here!
+Sander Van Hove You are what you eat?
Thanks for introducing this place James. Will sure to add this into my Penang itinerary...
+sakurasoh Thank you! I hope you enjoy it! Let me know how it goes!
Trevor, I was literally drooling down my lips when you scooped that chunk of mutton sambal onto the roti canai. Luckily, I caught it in time before that ended up on my shirt. Good job, bud! Looking forward to your next video. Haha
+WC haha that's awesome!!!
Awesome video. Very interesting and educational, not to mention hunger inducing. You, my Food Ranger friend, are in my top 3 favorite CZcams professionals. Keep it up. You're one of the very best! Thanks
I'm from Boston. There's a Malaysian restaurant here called Penang. They serve roti canai. They make it fresh and it's delicious (and you get to watch them make it as well!), but I bet the curry isn't as awesome as the ones you've had!
+Long Hood Forward That sounds awesome!
Roti Canai is a favorite any time of the day! So glad that you enjoyed it!
+Jackie Milledge Hi Jackie! Yeah, Roti Canai is the best! haha!
Great video and great respect to what you're doing. You genuinely flatter the chefs and their crafts and your demeanor really shows you see food with all senses open. I like the cordial attitude in all your videos. Your videos really show you're a great person and I bet your camera person is too. Great work!!
Love seeing the foods around Asia. Been watching a lot of your videos and I much prefer your 10 point scoring system of the 5 points.
Another great video, I'm surprised the curry wasn't as spicy as the colour made it to be. Can't wait to see what next!
+Zack I Thanks Zack! yeah, it wasn't too too spicy, just right! mmm!
Curry looks delicious.
Such dishes are delighted by children.
You are beautiful.
Thank you very much.
Yes this is the by far one of the best Roti Canai served in Penang! Great video as always.
+Nixon Lai Yeah for sure! mmm so good! Thanks Nixon!
Ooh! makes me yearn for those cheap and delicious foods I miss in Malaysia. I still make the soft boiled eggs with toast for breakfast every now and then. Scrumptious with soy sauce and white pepper.
+Cam Chin yeah sooo good!
I hope you can find out where to get some "pie tee" and "otak otak".
ty for your vids! i get inspired to make new dishes here at home.
I am a vegan but it's my guilty pleasure to watch you eat this food!
+Mo McFo haha that's great to hear Mo McFo!!
I used to have stuff like this when I lived in Singapore. Awesome curry and roti. Miss the hawker stalls.
+TechFanMan Yeah man they are the best!! mmmmm
Great video, Trevor James. Love all the food you sample and places you visit!
+Crystal N haha great to hear, thank you Crystal!
If you ever go to Penang, try the banana roti. It is my favourite food ever.
Great Video James !! As a Malaysian, I totally agree, Penang is indeed a heaven for food, if you ever come to Malaysia again, you should travel to Temerloh, Pahang for the best Malay foods and Brickfields for awesome Indian food. Keep up the good work :-)
+marcus chan Hey Marcus! Thanks for the recommendations! I will definitely be coming back to Malaysia sometime so I will keep those places in mind, thanks!
his positivity is endearing and infectious!
Miss those "Mamak" stores, some of those street food are 24 hours some only in the evening, try a few times having meals at some of this stores at Penang Road (where those Hotels & Motels are..)and night life around there............~
Your politeness is just amazing dude..great videos!!!
Staying in Georgetown now. Tried indian places, but most liked vegetarian cafes - laksa there is unbelievable!
+Alex Polynov Yes, the Laksa is amazing!! mmmm
My anxiety level is high today because i have a exams tomorrow but when I watched your video, i started to feel batter. in a nut shell, keep up the good work Tervor.
P.S remember me when you hit 1million sub bud:)
+abdi omar Hi Abdi! I will remember ;) haha, glad my vidoe helped ease some of that anxiety!
Mouth watering. Can't stop watching your videos!!!! Keep up with the good work.
+Danny Nguyen Hey Danny! Thanks a lot for watching my vids!
i am Malaysian and welcome to my country from Penang go to Taiping Perek its about a 2 hour drive and my family have 2 curry fish head restaurant in Taiping
+cheahmingwei00 Wow that sounds amazing, thank you!
+The Food Ranger | Trevor James hey just keep up the good work
+cheahmingwei00 Thanks :)
If you are Penang, you HAVE to try out Char Koay Teow and Penang Hokkien prawn noodles! To die for!
+temuched Thanks a lot for your recommendation! Do you have a specific location you would suggest? Thanks!!
Trevor if you are still currently in Penang, I'd definitely suggest Bee Hooi Café on Kimberley Street, The Sar Hor Fun/ Wan Than Hor there was very very good with a good amount of large ingredients but you need to wait around 30-50 minutes on a busy day.
+Junhtz334 OK, I will go check it out! Thank you!
YUMMMMM! These vibrant curries are mouthwatering! Great video once again! Good to see you feeling better and back in action, food-ranging once more! Keep up the awesome work, Trevor!
+Maya Yang Thanks a lot Maya!
Food looks great. I love good curries. Also think that you are very respectful to the food vendors. That goes a long way in terms of the service you get and respectfulness back.
+M Stew Thanks so much M! Glad you liked the food and curry in this vid!
looks so good..... definitly need to visit that place one day. thanks for sharing, the food ranger never disappoints! :)
+Otherie haha thanks a lot!!
Trev, that looks awesome. I don't know if I would have time to go to Penang when I go to China next but that would definitely be on my to do "must eat this" list. Thanks.
+Kevin Green Thanks Kevin! Yes, Penang is a must go to place for food! Thank you for your comment!
I see the best Malaysian street food is from India lol no wonder my malaysian employees love food at my house. Malaysian people are great!
Those half boiled eggs looked so tasty dipped in the curry sauce, my mouth is watering!
+dolcieymadscientist yeah exactly! wow! so good!
I love your videos since my hobby is cooking of authentic chinese food, but I have learned one thing..don't watch these while in bed waiting for sleep :). You will get hungry!
+Ohgottis haha that's great to hear, thank you!
Since you are having"breakfast", as well as Te Tarek be sure to try some Kopi.
I'm a stuck-up coffee roaster, but I admit to having a soft spot for Kopi Beng, in a bag!
Try some.
As much as I love spicy food, I would be a baby for most of the food there. Yet my love of curry I would try it all. Such a great vlog. After 90 years they just have to be good. Yum.
+JANICE BALL Yeah it was so amazing, the flavour was awesome!
I was wondering since you've been to Malaysia and Singapore, when will you visit Indonesia? We have so many great foods!!! Sure you will love it!
great video - if i had a bucket list this would be on it
+anglofiles87 Thank you! Yes, this was soooo good! mmmmm
ugh it looks so good. awesome video by the way!!
+hamicorn manchester Hi Hamicorn, yes, it was delicious!
Lovin' this channel...Thanks for the quality videos!
You should come and visit other part of the Malaysia someday :)
Was that for lunch, breakfast or dinner looked like some great food super nice people.
Hey Trevor, now that you are in Malaysia just before Chinese New Year, check out the CNY goodies! Eat some "Love Letters", CNY sticky rice cake, Puffy rice crackers, Coconut cookies, Pineapple tarts, Raw Fish salad ie Yee Sang. Check out the Lion Dancing too! If you get to eat in Chinese Restaurants, they would have special dishes to usher in the Chinese New Year. Enjoy!
+Cam Chin Wow, that's great advice, thank you!!
Looks fantastic. This looks like a influence of South Indian cuisine. They use more of maida (similar to cake flour)... If you look at cuisines from other parts of India they use more of real/ proper wheat flour for rotis, paranthas etc.
+Amit Budhraja Thank you Amit!
You my friend deserve more views, great video content!
+Augustus Wee Hey Augustus! Thank you!!
Looks like Taliwang Chicken in Indonesia, traditional foods from Lombok Island in Indonesiia. Must try James
i am surely going to penang to try this thanks RANGER i love your videos
+harry singh Hey Harry! That's great to hear, I hope you enjoy the food!!
I was there 2 years ago, best I ever had! Yum!
+wywk Yeah soo sooo tasty!! mmmmm
Watching This video is pure JOY!
Great to hear that, thanks a lot Deli!
Oh boy, this is the most hyped roti canai spot in Penang but it is by no means the best ;)
Glad you enjoy our local food Trev!
+Jonathan Lee haha yeah it's so good!
actually when they say they use charcoal...it is very true that the food will be nicer.i dont know how but it just become nicer.I think traditional way of cooking are always the nicest
+Hidayah Sufee Yeah the charcoal made it so nice!
One of my favorite hobbies Is watching food vlogs when I'm starving and there is no food in the house.
+Keri Hon haha that's funny! Keri, maybe it would be better to have some food nearby?
Trevor...your Mmmmm's sounds great in all of your clips...its becoming your trend.
awesome.. i'm proud to be malaysian & its great to know that you loves our food.😊😊😊
+sarrah ahmat Thank you! Yes, Malaysia has some of the best food in the world for sure! I'm addicted to it here!
in Malaysia, you need to have some Roti Canai, nasi lemak, laksa, and so much more!
they look very simple and nice people may be that's why the food is good
+Fat Sal It was so awesome!
Love Penang! Haven't been back home in years, so I'm really excited for your upcoming videos! Make sure you try their laksa before you leave!
+Elaine Jackson Thank you Elaine, I will try for sure!!
