- Penang's multiple ethnicities have their roots elsewhere in Asia,

all of them brought their exotic mouth watering cuisine with them. Mostly Chinese working in the tin mines and Indians working in the rubber estates brought along their rich culinary heritages.

As time goes by the immigrants cooking somehow got mixed with a Malay (at that time) flavor giving birth to a much more diverse cooking.

Roti Canai is a typical example of a unique local breed with Indian influence, a kind of bread the hawker prepares in front of you and sometimes enhance the process by some acrobatic performance when the dough is being flung around.
