As teatime came around every evening, children were often seen idling just outside their homes with ears perked in attention, waiting to pounce as soon as the familiar honk was heard. In this well-executed acrylic composition, the artist pays homage to the quintessentially Malaysian ‘Roti Man’ preserved within an old 50-sen coin. The thrill of chasing after the ‘Roti Man’ and the sweet satisfaction of purchasing your favourite treat is a familiar memory for many Malaysians. Then, 50-sens would have been enough to treat your childhood chum, today; you would be hard pressed to find one item for that price.
