Jalan Transfer, George Town, Penang
Order: Roti banjir with mixed beef and chicken curry
The roti canai pilgrimage of Penang: an unsigned roadside stall that has been flipping dough for around half a century. Get it torn up and drowned in curry, with a fried egg, and come early before it sells out.

Jalan Gemas, George Town, Penang
Order: Roti canai with egg, cheese, onion and beef curry

Jalan Phee Choon, George Town, Penang
Order: Roti canai with dhal and sambal; charcoal roti bakar with half-boiled eggs
A roadside breakfast institution famous for charcoal-toasted bread, but the roti canai is equally loved - crisp, flaky and served with terrific dhal. Expect a crowd from dawn.
