Face-to-face service: Nurain selling soy food and drinks at the Danau Kota bazaar, apart from taking up online orders since last year.
PETALING JAYA: Ramadan bazaars, an annual nationwide affair trademarked by open-air markets packed with people looking for meals to break their day-long fast, went digital in 2020 due to Covid-19.
This year, although some states allowed bazaars to operate, many street hawkers are sticking to online platforms, after the trial run last Ramadan bore great success.
For almost 20 years, Nurain Mohamad Nasit’s family has been selling hot soy drinks and tau fu fa (soybean pudding) at their shop but would open a stall at a Ramadan bazaar for one month each year.
