Thankfully, after searching for some time, they managed to find a kopitiam, Big Three kopitiam, that was more than happy to welcome them. The kopitiam then gave the couple a chance to sell their African delicacies, providing them with a means to support themselves.
“When we first started out over 2 years ago, only a handful of them are willing to try our food. It was a struggle to get people to try our food”, he said.

But things started looking up as people were more accepting to try their food. When asked about their famous dishes, he mentioned that Malaysians love having their stew with rice.
