Best Roti John in Penang

Definitely leaving up to its name, this Roti John is downright marvelous! Under the stewardship of an amiable man, it’s highly rated among the locals for dinner or a late-night bite. It’s usually raining orders; many return with armloads of Roti Johns to accompany them later on the couch. Offering chicken and beef meat, which are chopped into little pieces and mixed with fresh eggs then layered on bread. It’s then smeared with rich mayonnaise, chili sauce and a tinge of white pepper. If you choose to dine in at the miniature space, the block of bread is showered with generous cheesy sauce. 

This humble burger stall is a realm of juicy and monster burgers, loaded with a bouquet of toppings and assorted sauces. No doubt, looking at the grilled patties masked with slapdash sauces and melting cheese evokes your appetite at full-stretch. Their Roti John is praiseworthy, battered egg suffused throughout the bun and seared till mildly brown and drizzled with mayonnaise and chili sauce. You can opt to add sausages and cheese too, for an additional layer of flavour. Cheap, appealing and quick service, you’ll never be dissatisfied. 

Tucked at the heart of Tasek Gelugor, Zaly Roti John is a perfect tea time snack or dinner. A long slab of bread is smeared with a batter of fresh eggs, heaped with shredded cabbage and carrot and liberally bathed with chili sauce and rich mayonnaise. Your eyes take in all the beauty of the messy presentation, which is about to get you finger licking and it’s always a good sign. Indeed, it’s worth another round.
