Nasi Lemak seller determines to price his food at RM1

According to local newspaper Sinar Harian, Nasi lemak seller, Zulkifli Nordin, is determined to keep his prices low so that the less fortunate could afford quality food.

Following his career, Zulkifli shared that a simple packet of Nasi Lemak that consist of an omelet is enough to keep the working class and students full for breakfast. Other than the RM1 packet Nasi Lemak that he sells, he also sells RM2 packets that are of larger quantity.

Thankfully, business has been stable for the past few years, where he has been able to sell up to 200 packets of Nasi Lemak a day.

Early birds get the worm

Other than that, Zulkifli reveals that his unique selling point is the village sambal made from his grandma’s recipe. Every day, he would start operating as early as 6:30am and occasionally he would sell out at 7:30am.

“I’m grateful for the support I’ve received so far”, adding that he would often receive orders from customers giving the food to Tahfiz centres, and schools. After quitting his job in the city, he came back to his hometown in Jerantut where he started selling Nasi Lemak. As his business takes off, Zulkifli is able to use the money he earned from the business to take care of his family.

Well done, Zulkifli, all the best in your future endeavours!
