Today, Friday August 1st a number of Calfriends and I met for our weekly TGIF FRIDAY CLUB at STRAITS RESTAURANT (http://straitsrestaurants.com) in Santana Row While looking over the menu, my eyes fell upon an interesting item: ROTI JOHN.
Roti John, is a sandwich inspired by some legendary guy named John who apparently while in Singapore was over come with nostalgia for a sandwich from back home. Goes out in search of a bistro or deli like place, ends up at one the many street side hawkers and custom orders a sandwich made from Asian bread or Roti, omelet, and vegetables.
The hawker, a Malaysian Muslim had the entrepreneurial savviness to brand this sandwich as ROTI JOHN that apparently became the talk around town.
I couldn’t order ROTI JOHN since it’s only served for lunch, however the name alone inspired me to share this on WadiBlog, not to mention having a mouth watering ring to it.
I wonder how many times we go through life where because of our impulsiveness, urges, desires to do or eat something we, without realizing inspire someone with a great idea.
Entrepreneurship isn’t something you learn in school, or can read up in ENTREPRENEURSHIP FOR DUMMIES.I doubt anyone taught this Muslim Hawker about how to look out for a good idea, or how to market and brand the idea, no?
