That Uncle


Bismillah...
Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu~ 


I have been coming to this small restaurant, I don't know if it's a stall but I guess the stalls are all bunched in a very tiny place nearby the 'mighty' Kayu Nasi kandar Bukit Jambul. So the customers could find variety food in a small crowded place. I feel so blessed seeing this one uncle, he runs a 'stall' and sells Nasi Lemak, Nasik Lemuni and some coconut pancakes I think. 

Everytime I come to the place, I will see him very diligently run his bussiness. He uses a coned shape filter funnel to shape the Nasi Lemak or Nasik Lemuni up, and lets the customers choose whatever side dishes they prefer n MashaaAllah sells them with a very low price. I wonder how does he live here in Penang, the very costly city, selling such cheap food. I like whatever sambal he makes because they are sweet and not spicy at all. Everything is just delicious. And I don't mind if I have to drive a little bit to get to his 'stall'. And I should have took pictures of the Nasi Lemak 'presented'. Next time insyaaAllah. 

This uncle, his dilligence and quality of cooking would surely attract some people to his 'stall'. I solute him for being so passionate in his job. I think it's a career in fact. This uncle, despite of his diligence and passion, he actually faces some problem which I think it is some sort of short term memory. He stutters a little and always forgets whether or not people have paid or what did his customers order. It's very pitiful seeing him in such condition since it may pretty much affect his bussiness. Hopefully not. 

That uncle, I pray the best for him. Hopefully Allah wills him to recover and if not, hopefully people will not take advantage of his weakness. 

Feels so weird writing, knowing this one 'aabid of Allah reads everything in my blog.
