'I started this business in 2014 with a budget rice menu priced at RM2.50 from a small stall in Kuala Nerus before we moved to our current location six years ago.
'The 'rahmah' concept was introduced just three weeks ago. Previously, our prices were like any regular eatery. But after many customers shared their struggles with the rising cost of living, my wife and I decided to make a change,' he said when met at his eatery in Kampung Tok Jiring here today.
Every day, the couple rises at 4 am to prepare more than 30 dishes, assisted by four employees.
Among the most popular menu items are ikan patin masak tempoyak, ayam berempah, udang masak lemak cili api, ikan tiga rasa and kerabu pegaga.
For the past three weeks, their eatery has been frequented by customers from Kuala Terengganu, Kuala Nerus and Marang.
'Ever since my eatery went viral on TikTok, we've been getting a non-stop stream of customers. They arrive as early as 10 am to dine in, and many also pack various dishes to take home.
