While "約翰"肉麵包 Roti john is an omelets sandwich first believed to be made in Singapore during the 1960s or 1970s. It later became widely popular, spreading throughout the Malay Peninsula in present-day Malaysia and in modern-day Indonesia as street food. Literally translated, roti john means “John's bread”; the dish takes its name from a once common form of address for Caucasians (“John”) while roti is a Hindi term for “bread”, which is also used in Malay. According to another story from the 1960s, Roti John was first served when a Malay hawker in 三巴旺 Sembawang (Singapore) cooked a special omelette sandwich for an Englishman who wanted to eat a burger; not knowing the Whiteman's name, the Malay hawker referred to him as "約翰" John; thus "Roti John" became the Malay hawker signature dish of his burger stall.

Thoughts: For those living in the Subang area, the Ramadan Bazaar at USJ 4 is a must-visit bazaar. Open as early as 3.00 pm, as many as 160 stalls in this bazaar provide a variety of fasting month dishes every year, such as 烤雞 ayam panggang, 沙爹 satay, "約翰"麵包 roti john, 炒麵 fried noodles, 嘟嘟糕/碟蒸糕 putu piring, 薄餅 popiah, 馬來糕 malay kueh, 印度香飯 briyani rice, 芒果冰淇淋飲料 mango ice cream float and 肉餡餅 murtabak etc etc.
Two of the common Malay food at Bazaar Ramadan are 肉餡餅 Murtabak and "約翰"肉麵包 Roti John. Motabbaq (Murtabak) is a pan-fried stuffed pancake/bread said to be originated from the 阿拉伯半島 Arabian Peninsula but became popular in Southeast Asia. The Murtabak is often described as spicy folded omelette pancake with bits of vegetables. The most common form of murtabak is made from pan fried crepes usually stuffed with beaten eggs, chopped leeks, chives, or green onion (scallions) and minced meat, which is then folded and cut to squares. In Indonesia, the Murtabak is one of the most popular street foods and is known as Martabak. Thoughts: For those living in the Subang area, the Ramadan Bazaar at USJ 4 is a must-visit bazaar.

Besides Satay, many Ramadan Bazaar also offers grilled innards but only ONE stall found in USJ4 Ramadan Bazaar that offers 烤雞屁股 Grilled Chicken Buttocks (Tongkeng) & 烤雞心 Grilled Chicken Heart (Pedal) for rm$1.20 each stick. Four butts are strung up to a bamboo skewer, likely massaged with some kind of secret red sauce and grilled until sticky, hot and juicy; like succulent red strawberries in a skewer!
The USJ4 Bazaar can be seen with stalls setting up at around 2pm each day along USJ4/6A, and by 2:30pm some stalls are already offering take-away food. Parking usually becomes challenging after 3:30pm either along Jalan Tujuan or Persiaran Tujuan where customers can park anywhere along these two roads.
