Priced from 50sen to RM2 a piece, their kuih is an affordable choice for families preparing for buka puasa meals. In contrast, another stall at the bazaar offers the relatively new Vietnamese rolls which have also gained a following among customers. Stall assistant Puteri Nashrieen Subri said the rolls come with a salad filling and 17 toppings to choose from. “The spicy prawn and salmon toppings are the most popular,” she said, adding that the stall received good response since it started selling the rolls three years ago.
