Mamak is a term used to describe the Indian Muslims, which is widely acknowledged in Penang. I used to think that roti canai is all indian, but soon I learned that roti canai is actually a fusion of indian and malay cuisine, or simply mamak cuisine. So we were on the move again, in search of our good old place for supper at Abu Mamak Stall.
We have been here for years now, and we learned that this place was called Abu because there were two reasons. One which was there was a graffiti of the word Abu on the wall and one of the staffs (also owner) here has the name of Abu.
Operating on a what used to be a car park, this place is frequently patronized by people with night life, as it is open from night to morning. I think that is what makes Penang so unique, when people have always been nocturnal.
It was a norm for us to drink this every time we're here, Sirap Ais Limau (Iced Syrup with Lime).
The Roti Canai here never fail to amuse me, it had a some sort of fluffy texture yet crisp on the outside, and it's best eaten with the curry. Though I think that I've had better curries than this, it was still a good match. 8.0
Roti Bom is my personal favourite over here. No matter it's a cheese bom or plain bom, when eaten along with the condensed milk provided especially when it was still warm, it felt perfectly good. If you're afraid of sweetness that might cause you diabetes and might consequently causing you to join the biggest loser, worry not as you can eat this roti bom all by itself but with a tiny catch - the inside of the roti bom is already filled with kaya. Fascinating huh ? 8.5
If you're wondering what are the sunny-side-up eggs and fried chicken laying there for, you'll find it out soon enough.
Ta-daa ! They're perfect as add-ons for a plate of Fried Maggi Noodles. The noodles here had a touch of spiciness (your own preference) and altogether it was nothing short of delicious. We usually order Maggi Goreng Ayam Sikit or in english, Fried Maggi Noodles with a little Fried Chicken. 8.5
One more thing which I really like about this place is the service. The friendliness of the staffs, namely Abu always managed to get me to return here, and sometimes he gives discounts too :)
