so cool... you got a rumah atap beside the river, ducks and chickens beside the river maybe with one cat or dog.... you and your siblings bathing in the river while your mum washing clothes lower down.... I always wanna live like this last time.

i used to wait for the roti guy when i was small to buy those "Ding Dang" and "Tora". I wonder if they are still selling it now. and how much izzit now? last time was 50 sen for Ding Dang and RM1 for Tora.

Since mine uses van, its *honk honk*

Anyway these days people are getting more modern. Things we 'oldfolk' enjoy aren't going to get the same treatment anymore. Which kid these days still eat those awsum breads? Most will go secret recipe, auntie anne, jco, krispy kreme, big apple, insert-more-expensive-bread-or-snack. As they say, 'tak standard la beli roti2 centuh'.

my place even shout "ROTI!ROTI!ROTI!"

mat kool mat kool kawanku
mari kita berhibur MAT KOOOOLLL

if i born 1 generation up then yes

later on my grandparents aredy upgrade the house to brick house, i born never get to stay in atap, and now the river-cum-waterfall, also converted to huge drainage system and the area developed to housing garden

owh mang!!when my childhood i call this man BABU got the 20cent black packaging snack with free toys or sticker or eraser!!!

wow, my place here in Jln Gombak still have this people.

Rounds are at 8.00 am and 10.00 pm....

Even have those ice cream moto with the "mat kool, mat kool kawan ku, mari kita ikut, mat kool! main main selalu, syoknya syoknya ada mat kool" song!

yo budak gombak!

I think this is more than just the dying of a trade, is signals the dying for solidarity between Malaysians too. We prefer the impersonal act of picking things of wide and high shelves and dealing with cashier who are usually no more than barcode scanners. We even pack out own goods into the plastic bags ourselves. Hole ourselves up in the house, in the car, in the small group we go out with. We don't run out of the house without slippers anymore, we have to hide out legs beneath branded shoes, from what I don't know, the sun? our neighbors?

Whoah. This is indeed diminishing slowly. Used to bought plenty of roti and jajan just before Mahgrib after playing basketball when I was a kid back then

my generation's song is ........ "Paddle pop! wow! Paddle pop.Yea!" . If got budget, usually aimed for the crocodile-shaped ice-cream.

roti krim FTW!!!

reminds me during childhood days

also not to be forgot other like ice-cream man, putu mayam rider,susu lembu/kambing man,pau seller as well!

awwww, rotiman...!

i used to play at playground and since sure not bringing any money, when rotiman arrive, i'd say, "esok bayar", same like tomorrow, "esok bayar" for all week, then today i know my parent paid weekly lol...

1) more highrise in urban, less chance for rotiman

2) gated housing areas

3) high crime rate, ppl lock up their door/gate and close it, hard to hear, leceh to come out to buy roti, kids dont play outside house anymore.

4) kids not at home - tuition all the time/play computer dont want to come to buy snak
