  • Ridjal Noor: 10 Mistakes Of Malay F&B Businesses

    Ridjal Noor: 10 Mistakes Of Malay F&B Businesses

    Orang kita yang berbisnes makanan sungguh untung. Makanannya lazat dan power, semua orang boleh makan. Orang Melayu, orang India, orang Cina, orang mat Salleh semua minat makanan Melayu. Sanggup queue untuk beli. Tapi kenapa business Makan orang kita kebanyakkan tidak maju dan boomz sebesar-besarnya, ya?

    Mari kita selidik some of the reasons:
    (jangan marah kalau sentap, gunakan untuk muhasabah diri sama-sama.)

    1. Suka buang muka kat customer. Tak faham langsung tentang mechanics of energy dan aura.

    2. Tak sabar dengan customer. Beri $50 pun salah, beri syiling pun salah. Tapi takde PayWave. Lebih suka PayHalau. Halau customer yang takde exact change.

    3. Suka duduk berhinggap di meja depan gerai dan bersembang dengan members. Customer datang survey, dia buat bodoh, buat dek aje.

    4. Suka marah-marah. Terpekik-pekau. Dia dengan dia. Customer pun buat u-turn dan cabut.

    5. Display makanan tanpa ada label. Ini lauk apa, itu lauk apa. Bukan kerja susah, cuma dia fikir semua orang sepatutnya tahu. Kalau customer tanya, dia marah.

    6. Display menu dan signboard dari 10 tahun lalu. Sini pangkah sana pangkah, macam Ali Baba dan gengnya tengah planning nak serbu gerai dia malam nanti.

    7. Tak tahu apa tu marketing. Cuma tahu marketing tu pergi pasar beli sayur.

    8. Takde banner untuk nak tolong advertise gerai nya. Banyak kali, gerai nya terperuk kat satu corner. Tempat jin buat scissors kick.

    9. Terlalu mengharapkan word of mouth marketing. Kalau business teruk, salahkan “mesti ada orang buat kita”.

    10. Tak buat flyer marketing with call to action. Campak flyer di seluruh estate, letak di post box, di carpark kereta dan di pintu pangsapuri.

    Rezeki itu beraliran. Ada Flow. Tersekat most of the time because we lack understanding of the minor minor things we do yang menghalau rezeki dan menghalau customer.

    Kalau setuju, sila share.

  • Muslims Honouring Your Mother On Mother’s Day; Better Than Not Doing On Every Other Day

    Muslims Honouring Your Mother On Mother’s Day; Better Than Not Doing On Every Other Day

    Sambut Hari Ibu?

    Katanya dalam Islam boleh sambut hari2 dan bila2, tak perlu nak ikut2 orang kafir?

    Ada awak sambut hari ibu utk ibu awak hari2 atau seminggu sekali atau sebulan sekali, ada?

    Memuliakan ibu bukan hanya ajaran orang ‘Orang Kafir’ sebaliknya ia merupakan ajaran Islam.

    Kalau hari2 tak buat, seminggu sekalipun tak buat, sebulan sekalipun tak buat, kenapa pula setahun sekali jadi haram?

    Tidak semua perkara yg diamalkan oleh adat orang bukan Islam itu Haram.

    Adat tidak kira adat apa bangsa sekalipun selama mana tidak bertentangan dengan ajaran Islam maka hukumnya adalah
    Harus.

    Melainkan adat tersebut ada kaitan dengan aqidah agama atau kepercayaan agama lain maka barulah jatuh hukum Haram.

  • Would You Pay $12.80 For This Nasi Lemak?

    Would You Pay $12.80 For This Nasi Lemak?

    What? $12.80 for a plate of nasi lemak! That’s crazy!”

    That is a common response you’d get about this popular coconut rice meal, usually served with sambal.

    Chef Lee Eng Su, who worked in chic French restaurants around the world before opening The Coconut Club here, found inspiration from the Kuala Lumpur-style nasi lemak in Village Park Restaurant in Damansara.

    The place was said to be frequented by former Malaysian prime minister Mahathir Mohamad.

    Chef Lee found a recipe online, tweaked it, and that was the start of his success story.

    Six months after The Coconut Club’s opening late last year, queues can still be seen every day.

    I visited The Coconut Club an hour before closing on a Saturday afternoon, and there was still a queue at the door.

    Apart from the crispy chicken, Chef Lee’s sambal was also outstanding. There was a kick to it despite its sweet undertone at first taste. The chilli-sting crept up on me and lingered for a while.

    The rice was fluffy, loose and did not have too much lemak as it was meant to be enjoyed with roasted peanuts, crispy ikan bilis, fried chicken (ayam goreng berempah), fried sunny side up egg and a few slices of Thai cucumber.

    Sides are available, and I was told some were off-menu, so you just have to ask for the daily specials.

    The Coconut Club is an appealing addition to the growing hipster cafe scene in Singapore.

    The place has a kopitiam-style kopi bar, and a raised centrepiece community table in the middle that lends an undulating multi-level look to the organised hipster chaos.

    Chef Lee (below) said he “spent a bomb on renovations”, and though the place looks good, The Coconut Club is jam-packed because of the nasi lemak and the honest, frank service, and nothing else.

  • Nasi Arab Unik Di Melaka – Nasi Kambing Kat Kubur

    Nasi Arab Unik Di Melaka – Nasi Kambing Kat Kubur

    MELAKA: Hidangan di sebuah kedai makan yang menjual nasi Arab mungkin kedengaran agak pelik namun pasti melekat dalam ingatan.

    Nasi Kambing Kat Kubur adalah salah satu menu menarik yang dijual di Kedai Sawit Corner, sebuah kedai makan yang terletak di bawah rimbunan pokok kelapa sawit di Solok Duku, Alor Gajah, Melaka.

    Lokasi kedai yang bersebelahan Tanah Perkuburan Islam Mualim di Solok Duku itu mencetuskan idea kepada para pemiliknya untuk menjadikan nama hidangan unik itu sebagai satu jenama.

    Kedai itu diusahakan sejak enam tahun lalu oleh Nabila Asyyiqin Marzuki, 25 tahun, dan suami, Mohamad Khairul Azwan Md Ramli, 28 tahun, selain dibantu saudara mereka, Muhammad Hayad Norazman, 25 tahun, lapor laman Berita Harian Malaysia.

    Menurut mereka, keputusan untuk menjenamakan hidangan Nasi Kambing Kat Kubur itu dibuat setelah menerima banyak pertanyaan tentang lokasi kedai.

    “Kami mengusahakan kedai makan ini sejak 2006 dengan menjual cucur udang, bakso, mi kari, laksa dan cendol sebelum menambah gulai kawah itik, daging dan kambing pada tahun 2009, diikuti nasi Arab pada 2011.

    “Penambahan juadah dibuat supaya pelanggan mempunyai pilihan kerana bukan semua mahukan hidangan alas perut, sebaliknya yang mengenyangkan untuk perjalanan jauh,” Cik Nabilah Asyyikin memberitahu Berita Harian Malaysia.

    Menurut catatan di laman Facebook Sawit Corner, Nasi Kambing Kat Kubur adalah nasi Arab yang dihidangkan dengan daging kambing berempah.

    Ia turut menjadi hidangan pilihan ramai pelanggan, dengan salah seorang daripadanya menyatakan: “Kalau akak mati hari ini pun akak reda dan puas sebab akak dapat makan nasi Arab. Sedap sangat.”

    Cik Nabilah Asyyikin berkata kedainya turut menyediakan Nasi Kambing Kat Kubur dengan ayam atau kambing, set dimakan seorang ataupun keluarga.

  • Why Can’t Suntec City’s Information Counter Staff Understand Common English Words And Religious Tenets?

    Why Can’t Suntec City’s Information Counter Staff Understand Common English Words And Religious Tenets?

    Hi Suntec 🙂 So I just casually walked up to your information counter at Level 1, nearest Tower 4, to a smiling staffer – Li Yuwei. I asked if there were any halal bakeries around. And after repeating myself a couple of times, I discovered that she doesn’t know what Halal means.

    Of course I was a little surprised but it was far from a rude shock. I tried to explain it as a concept (in a very clumsy way, because in truth, the last time I had to explain what it meant was in a weekend madrasah exam, 20 years ago). After fumbling over myself, I asked for just any bakery or pastry shop. Then I actually found myself also trying to explain what a bakery or pastry shop is.

    So I also wrote down on a piece of paper the words “bakery” and “pastry shop”. She dutifully went on to search it in her system. And with that same smile (now just a little bit more pursed) she wrote down and presented to me this attached piece of paper with the details of a bakery at Middle Road. a 20 minute walk away!

    I gave a smile back as I took the piece of paper and said my thanks for the help she was able to provide. As I walked away from the counter, I couldn’t help but wished she was a cute, cuddly cat instead – so that I could pet my frustrations away and forgive it for not being able to understand some commonly-used human words and religious tenets.

    I hope you take this seriously and get some cats on your information counters soon. Thank you Suntec.
