GEORGE TOWN: Families can now dine-in with peace of mind at a coffee shop in Taman Pekaka, which has set up acrylic screens to allow four people to dine on each table.
Factory worker Lim Swee Hoon, 42, and her husband, Sim Choo Liang, 44, who is self-employed, said it was a pleasant surprise to see a coffee shop take the extra step to put up such measures.
She said as it was just both of them at home, they were fine with eating anywhere since most places allowed two at a table. “Hopefully, we can see more of this as we adapt to the new normal.”Another diner, Dennis Yeoh, 31, who is a distributor, said it was a creative way to ensure physical distancing while allowing people to dine with peace of mind.
“Since the movement control order began, I think many of us have been eating off plastic containers or paper boxes.Coffee shop owner Peong Wai Loon, 43, who set up the acrylic screens on May 18, said he wanted to allow more people to dine at one table.“Although there is extra work following the installation of the screens such as double cleaning work and time spent to sanitise, I think it allows people to eat with peace of mind, ” he said.
