In an interview with the media, Mr Bai said he doesn’t think they look alike. He is also not interested in being an influencer. His expectation is only selling more Roti Telur every day.

After being famous, his business has improved. During the interview, he made fun of himself saying: “I’m Roti Lun Chou (周饼伦,similar to Jay Chou’s Chinese name 周杰伦). Today I’ll show you how to make a seven-mile fragrant Roti. (Referring to Jay Chou’s song 七里香)” The man said that his family rely on this stall for a living.

He sets up the booth at 7 a.m. every morning and closes the stall at 2:00 p.m. Recently, more visitors and Roti buyers visit the stall every day compared to the past.

Many diners from other places visit the booth because of this news. Their income was about 200 CNY per day before, but now it is about 300 CNY, which is equivalent to one third more of their income back.

Mr Bai is very realistic. The reporter asked him if he had any plans after being famous, but Mr Bai said no. He also responded that he had no talent other than making good Roti.

Mr Bai feels satisfied as long as his customers are happy with the food. He said: “It is more appropriate to do what you can. We should never overestimate our abilities.”

In fact, the response of the stall owner is an authentic portrayal of most ordinary people. It is important to be down to earth and only do what we can.

Coincides with lyrics of Jay Chou’s song
