According to Ustaz Mohd Ali Jainneh, despite having to face various obstacles in the business world but it became a precious memory for him.
In addition, he added that the business which has branches in Taman Desa Imu and Metrocity Matang Night Market provides a variety of side dishes including eggs, petai anchovy sauce, crispy fried chicken, and several other menus compared to before.
