Do you still buy bread and snacks from the roti-man on his motorcycle? Roti means bread in the Malay Language.
How does he balance his motorcycle with so many packs of bread and snacks hanging on it, I wonder.

Back then...
When I was young, I used to buy bread and snacks from vendors selling them on motorcycles but now I don't do this anymore as I buy all my food from grocery stores at the local mall. So seeing the motorcyclist below with his bread and snacks hanging all over his motorcycle recently makes me think of my younger days.

hey Mun, I thought all these vendors no more existing already? At least in Ipoh.. not in my area though... but I like to buy their fried sweet potato those days! And their coconut buns too... hahaha.. 5 sen or 10 sen then...
ReplyDeleteI also thought that they don't exist anymore but just the other day, I saw a few of them in PJ and bukit jalil.
DeleteHere no more liao...
ReplyDeleteDid you buy from them when young? I guess eventually they will be no more.
DeleteThere's only 2 things I buy - cream rolls and Chickadees, haha!
ReplyDeleteCharlie Charlie chickadees, yang paling enak sekali. Siapa mau lagi. Saya Charlie Chickadees. Haha I used to sing thid jingles all the time when I eat this. :)
Deletethose were the days..
ReplyDeleteNo more in Ipoh?
DeleteWow brings back memories... I'm a chickadee fan too, but I wonder if Roti Man's wife makes the bread? Or they just repackage...
ReplyDeleteI don't think they make the bread themselves. You are a chickadee fan too! Yay! Those were the days.
DeleteOh gracious! I thought this was only in Vietnam. How amazing to see all that being balanced on a motorcycle!
ReplyDeleteWe can still catch some remnants of the past here.
DeleteThe taman that I am staying in right now (in Penang) still has. In fact there's 2 of them, one comes in the morning and one in the evening. Sometimes the kids will chase after the vendor with their bicycles =)
ReplyDeleteOh is it? I lived in Penang for 4 years while studying. Which taman are you referring to?
DeleteCrap, now that you asked, I actually don't know the name of the taman. It's those 40 years old single storey terraces near Sunshine Square, facing the road towards the airport.
Deleteat Bayan Baru? You don't need to write your Penang address often?
DeleteYup Bayan Baru. I don't actually, I don't have letters coming in except for the utility bills (never paid attention on the address LOL). All my letters are addressed to my hometown.
