In the hustle and bustle of a traditional cake shop, the sizzle and smoke of delectable treats being prepared can sometimes lead to discomfort for workers in the kitchen.
To shield from the smoke of the kuih
But fear not, as a quaint cake shop in Terengganu has come up with a groundbreaking solution that has left netizens in awe.
In a recent video shared by @ohmyganung which has now garnered over 300k views, the spotlight is on the Kuih Bakar Asap Kelong shop, where a team of elderly women, the backbone of this traditional baked goods establishment, is seen donning full protective gear.
Respiratory masks and durable eye goggles shield them from the smoke, showcasing a rare and commendable safety initiative.
What’s even more impressive is the use of thick gloves by the workers when handling containers of cookies, showcasing the shop’s commitment to safety and hygiene.
Kuih Bakar Asap Kelong specialises in a variety of traditional kuih, all meticulously baked using a classic wooden stove.
Their menu boasts a delightful array of treats, including baked cakes, nganang, beke nyor, bahulu, and many more.
Netizens applaud safety of how Makciks handle the bake
Netizens were quick to express their admiration for the unique uniforms of the shop’s employees, highlighting their calm composure in the face of challenging kitchen conditions.
