SIBU: Most people aspiring to set up their own food business are deterred by high start-up costs, which include high rental, purchase of furniture and renovation.
The newly-opened Jaya Li Hua Food Court in Jalan Pahlawan, set up by the Sibu Municipal Council , has fulfilled the dream of nine debutants.
Helenna Merikan, 52, was beaming when met at her stall, where she sells Dayak food such as asam pedas, manok pansoh and Dayak-style nasi lemak.“This is my first time starting a food stall. A friend had encouraged me to apply to the council. “I have only bought cooking utensils, crockery and gas tanks and, of course, food ingredients,” she added.“All stall owners here are very good to us and they encourage us. This makes me confident to do well,” said Helena.
When he heard that the council was inviting people to take up a stall at Jaya Li Hua, he grabbed the opportunity without a second thought.
