When Beckham meets Ribena and Hawaii
by Yeongru Wong

Roti Beckham, Roti Hawaii. Do these ring a bell? These are only a tiny portion of Restoran Murni’s specialties.

Hidden in a quiet nook in SS2, this place is anything but quiet. The number of dining tables can stretch from one end of the road the restaurant is located on to the other end on a very busy day.

Locals and people from as far as Kedah would come here at least once to try out and to experience the “Murni-ness”. Murni is not only a good place to hang-out with your friends and have a quiet meal, as it is also a place where you can witness harmonious relationships betwen people from all walks of life. This is a place where the young and the old of all races come together and share the same devotion for food.

At Murni's, there are food and drinks galore. Many dishes are a fusion of the East and the West. Roti Beckham is a personal favourite. It resembles a bigger version of the murtabak (meat wrapped in a thin layer of dough), only better. The spider web sauce on top is actually mayonnaise, and beneath the crust is a generous amount of tuna. When you take a bite into it, the juices and the freshness of the tuna will tantalize your taste buds. Another dish named Roti Hawaii is very similar to Roti Beckham, only its filling is swapped with bits of chicken and sausages.

Typical mamak food such as the roti canai and fried noodles can be found here as well, but it’s fusion food that Murni specializes in. Their tasty crunchy Garlic Cheese Naan is another salivating treat. The unbeatable combination of garlic and cheese compliments each other, and the taste is simply wonderful.

There is a large selection of drinks that you can choose from, too. The Mango Special and the Ribena Special needs no introduction to people who frequent Murni. The Mango Special is a delicious mango treat filled with floating bite-sized chunks of fruit. The drinks come in bottles of various sizes, and the largest bottle costs RM20. Ordering a large drink can definitely turn heads, as the drinks are served in hefty Horlicks jars.
