The stall in Miri where I bought my Roti John .... since it was infront of the cafe, he still uses the water sink to wash his hands before tending to me.Nocturnal eateries seems to crop in abundance after sunset in Miri. I had the chance to taste Roti John (John's Bread/sandwich) from one of the many stalls opposite the Ming Cafe (Majority non Halal food. There is a muslim food stall with neighbouring stalls selling non halal items).
A friend of mine who has been working in Miri for a year highly recommends me to taste this Roti John while in Miri. He said, "you can't find Roti John in Kuching..." but that really if you didn't look hard enough. Quite true to his words, I have yet to find Roti John in Kuching apart from the Kebabs and burgers. It is also quite common in west Malaysia, some other friends suggest. Well where it comes from, I am not sure, but let me introduce you to this Roti John, if you have yet to try it out...

Meat, egg, mayo, chilli sauce... where are the greens?It is actually meat (minced chicken, beef, mutton or franks) bundled together in poached egg with chopped onions, tomato, salad, cucumber slices all included. The pepper and chilli sauce adds to its spiciness, while the mayonaise and thousand island functions to tease your sour taste receptors on your tongue. This main ingredient is then sandwiched into the long bread.
The taste is just like any other burgers that you can get from any stalls. The only difference is its longish shape. The one that I had was just not too wholesome and it was very high in its carbohydrate, protein and fat content. It still needs to be made more balanced with more vege in its preparation. Overall, he he, I would give it a 5 out of 10.
