I have always thought that the roti bakar at PJ state was one of the bests I have had, until one of my clients bought me to the food court at KLCC to order the same thing there. Since then, this little stall at the 2nd floor food court became my favorite place for breakfast.

a satisfying breakfast for two

Like the version in PJ state, thicker version of bread is used; but instead of charcoal (which wouldn’t be allowed in an air conditioned environment), the bread is heated with electrical toaster instead. However, instead of having kaya and butter spread on each piece of the toast, this place have both pieces with kaya, and then put a thick slice of frozen butter in between.

The frozen butter combined with the hot bread and the sweetness of kaya makes a perfect combination. The taste of butter blending with kaya and bread; the texture of frozen butter contrasting strongly with soft kaya spread and the crispy toast; and even the differences temperature between the ingredients combined to a very satisfying bite.

ahhh.. thick frozen butter

The toast goes best with a cup of hot coffee and some half boiled egg. As each food court rental costs somewhere around RM 18,000 per month, the food doesn’t come very cheap. Each item is slightly more than RM 2. It makes a slightly expensive breakfast, but I simply couldn’t resist this stuff, just so good. I think I’m going to the 2nd floor food court at KLCC again tomorrow.

    Considering the amount I have to pay for the crappy breakfasts served at ayamas kl sentral, the klcc one seems worth it. Im drooling already!

    oh yeah, don’t bother trying out the breakfast at ayamas. the food there is like a girl on pms. sometimes it’s passable, sometimes you just wanna rush to the kitchen and fling your toast at the cook. all that angst for just Rm4.10! 😀

    Old town roti bakar is rubbish actually.

    There is a little kopitiam in Chukai called Kedai Kopi Hai Peng. If you are ever in that part of the world go have the best roti bakar in Malaysia.

    Think what u refer to is Daily Kopitiam. I had tried it and the one at 4th floor. For my humble opinion, Hai Peng at Bandar Puteri Puchong is the best. Dun worry, Daily Kopitiam has another branch at The Weld, Jalan Raja Chulan, go and try if you work nearby.

    Well, Old Town Kopitiam roti baker real sux with super thin bread. I try out the Papa Kopition at Selayang Mall, Selayang. The bread is thick and nice. And they got their own Papa Roti which is hardly found in other place.

    Beside that, this Kopitiam got some nice meal such as Nasi Lemak, Chicken Porridge which mostly ordered by the customers here. In weekdays, although it is not pakced with customers. But in weekend, this kopitiam packed with customers from morning til end of lunch time.

    And I been to another branch at OUG Plaza but the food at the OUG Plaza seem like to be different with the main branch in Selayang Mall like the food and especially the roti bakar. It is totally not the same.

    I think the Selayang Mall Branch is the real Papa Kopitiam.

    If got chance, come around Kepong or Selayang area to try out some nice foods. As your post on nice foods are mainly focus on PJ area.

    This si my 2 cents worth opinion. Thank You

    Yeh, Yeh, this Daily Kopitiam sounds very familiar. I go to one at 4th Floor Pavilion. The name is the same as the one KY went to. Looks like this is a chain operating within the Golden Triangle. I tried some of their Nasi Lemak and Noodle dishes and were great. Will take some pictures the next time I go there.

    Hi there, I have tried out this roti bakar at KLCC food court. As what you claimed, the bread look nice due to that One stick of butter sandwiched between two breads. However, it is not the best Roti Bakar I ever had. The best I had not from the famous Kopitiam. The best I ever had is from Papa Kopitiam located Selayang Mall, Selayang, Selangor. When you go there and have it, you will be amazed with the serving size. And the breat, it is specially made with super THICK (the one in KLCC it not THICK at all). With the kaya home made plus fresh butter from freezer it make it super nice to have it. Beside roti bakar, they also have a Nasi Lemak which is better than the Madam Kwan I had last week.

    If you had a problems in direction to there, feel free to MSN me.

    =)
