With inflation hitting hard, food vendors were recently forced to increase prices to cope with the current situation. However, one Malaysian man is going against the norm by selling nasi lemak at the extremely affordable price of RM1.
Known to all as Bangsudu, he explained that the nasi lemak is cooked by his parents on a daily basis. He then opens his stall at 6.30am and it sells out in less than an hour. For those of you wondering how is it possible for Bangsudu to earn a profit when the nasi lemak is priced at just RM1, he shared that he doesn’t earn a lot. Despite many comments online telling him to hike the price up, he plans to keep it at RM1.
He explained that this is mainly for the sake of his customers so they would not be burdened financially. He felt sympathetic for the students at school, having understood that food sold there can be rather expensive. And with at least with this nasi lemak, they will be able to fill their tummies without breaking the bank.
It is estimated that Bangsudu sells around 600 packs of nasi lemak every day and the food can sell out in just 30 minutes. In fact on 27 August 2022, he sold a whopping 1,600 packets of nasi lemak. Despite selling for RM1, customers praised his nasi lemak, saying it was tasty with flavourful sambal.
