The city of merchants has everything – scenic sights, culture, food and shopping.

I HAD envisioned savouring sushi or sashimi for breakfast when I arrived in Osaka, so I was stunned when I heard that we would instead be taken to a café for roti canai and teh tarik! Go all the way from Malaysia to Osaka to eat roti canai?
