Maliia Bakery

Right in the heart of George Town, at the corner of Jalan Transfer and Jalan Ariffin is this bakery well known for their ‘roti benggali’ or roti tawar. Huge loaves of this crusty, tasteless and fluffy white bread freshly baked are displayed in a glass cabinet just outside of the bakery’s entrance daily. Each of these humungus loaves at RM7.20 consists of eight small-sized loaves at RM0.90 each. The small loaves are good as a snack. There’s a lightness to its being (so to speak) that’s both dainty and sustaining.
