If you ever think of having malaysian-western style breakfast, with roti bakar (toast), milo, and perhaps half-boiled egg, head to PJ state, there you will find the best roti bakar this side of klang valley.
simple, yet very tasty
There are several factors that set this roti bakar offering from the rest. Firstly, the bread is not your run of the mill Gardenia type, but rather a specially made bread not unlike those old school Bengali Roti.
Secondly, a generous layer of butter or kaya is spread to the bread prior to toasting, instead of after. This allows the filling to seep into the bread from the heat, bonding the flavor into the bread itself. Lastly, instead of electric toaster, charcoal is used.
I always end up ordering at least a serving of roti bakar (RM1.20) even if I have something else as the main meal for breakfast. Perhaps you should give it a try too.

While most of you might associate dim sum with breakfast, some of us who usually do not like to wake up in the morning still wants to enjoy this delicacy too. So if your stomach is hungry and your taste bud yearns for something other than mamak food, the Jalan Ipoh dim sum will be an excellent alternative.
Galvin said it’s the good.
There are actually two different dim sum restaurants seperated just a couple of shop houses between each other. It is said that the one on the left sells better char siew pau (roasted pork pau) while the one on the right might have slightly better tasting small dishes.
So we dined at the one on the left side as the lads wanted to have some char siew pau at midnight. Overall the dim sum was very good too, but the especially awesome dish was the porridge. It was very thick, but very smooth, with almost a whole piece of chicken breast in each bowl. Galvin swallowed 2 bowls of that.
Price wise the place is pretty reasonable. Came to about RM 30 or so for three. Another place you can find around the clock dim sum is Sri Petaling, next to the artificial pond with artificial hobby fishermen paying good money to fish in the man made pond for man fed fishes.
I do not gurantee the accuracy of this map. hehe
