Our "Capathi Anneh"

Capathi (Indian flat bread) with Dhall (lenthil curry)

Let me share with you one of our favourite breakfast spot in Penang...so...for those out of town, when you’re in Penang, instead of the usual hotel breakfast, just head down to this spot...it will not fail you...I PROMISE...

It is a 2^nd generation run Indian-Muslim stall selling “Capati”. What I like about him is that; he only prepares “Capati” once an order is made and I seldom see him preparing any “Capati” way in advance. Ever since I “bumped” into him a year ago, I can finally indulge how “capati” suppose to taste like plus it is super soft unlike other stalls that sell like a “Frisbee”. Accompanied with Sardine “Sambal”...boom!!!...a perfect blast-off to start your day

Another “shock” thing about our “Anneh” is that should you order 2 “Capati”, he’ll serve you one first then once you’re done, he’ll serve the next one piping hot....so COOL wei!!!!

Capathi Anneh who has always got a smile on his face

Frankly speaking I don’t see any other stall doing that...This is what I call dedication and passion towards serving only the best. Sometimes I usually go there not only for his “Capati” but just to get some motivation/reminder especially when I’m down about my company/business... Just looking at him...seeing how he loves doing what he does...smiling while getting the job done...accompanied by his loyal radio airing Tamil songs...a very simple set-up, straightforward and nothing fancy...gosh if only life can be like that once in awhile...

Well anyway if you’re wondering how come I have not mentioned “anneh’s” name, it’s simply because I don’t actually know his name...how ironic is that?...When I arrive some friendly hand gesture right across to him and a few minutes later, hot “Capati” with “Dhall” and with a cup of local-made coffee....HEAVENLY

Where is it Ray?...I tell you now...It is at Penang’s UNESCO Heritage Site. The street you have to look out for is Beach Street and once you laid you eyes on HSBC Bank, you’re there!!!...

Sandwiched between two heritage buildings (built in 1800s), one of it is HSBC Bank, you will notice a stretch of stalls laid side by side and “anneh” stall is smacked right in the middle. It can be a little tricky because the path that leads into these stalls  are quite hidden so when you’re at HSBC...eyes open “big-big” ok...

If you guys not sure where the place is, let us know and maybe we can go makan together...yes?

Enjoy “Capati”....
