Stall offers 50-sen breakfast on third Saturday

A STALL in Tedong Pekan in Merlimau, Melaka, is doing a roaring business on the third Saturday of the month as everything on its breakfast menu is as low as 50 sen, Sinar Harian reported.

The owner Abd Rahman Abd Hamid, 60, said it was his way of helping the residents have a decent breakfast at a low price.

“Usually, everything is sold out within a few hours because of the immense support we get from the customers,” he said.

Despite charging only 50 sen, he added that they are not experiencing losses as it was only held once a month.
