Sri Melur Jaya in USJ17 boasts an unusually serene setting for a mamak. Early risers can head here as early as 5.30am for a quiet, solo breakfast before work, but if you're a supper seeker, bring friends to grab late night grub here. Without a doubt, get the famed Roti Canai (RM1.60). The mamak doles out a perfect representation of the humble dish. Crisp and scrumptious without being overly doughy, the plain roti hits the spot, especially when had with their flavoursome dhal. To boost flavours, add a dollop of spicy sambal to your dhal and mix before dipping. Those looking for a fuller meal in the morning, get their simple Nasi Lemak (RM3.50) breakfast that's served warm, and best paired with a glass of smooth and frothy Teh Tarik (RM2). Just make sure to order it kurang manis (less sweet), so it's more fragrant tea you taste than sugar.
Avg price per person: RM10
