Can I Canai

Penang is one of my favorite restaurants in town and Father's as well.  Every time I go, as I have for a few years, I always order a roti appetizer.  For whatever reason, that trend was threatened last week as a waiter brought surprising revelation and reluctance:

Moi: ... and a roti canai, please?

Waiter: Oh.  You know we don't make it fresh here? 

Moi (didn't know that, actually): Yeah, that's fine.

Waiter: We just made the sauce for the bread.  We get it from somewhere else-

Moi: Can I still have it, please?
