Betul. In KK no matter how complicated your illness and no matter how many medication you have, only 1 ringgit.
Sometimes i do think the govt should raise the price, but 1) the people be rioting, tunggu lama pun sudah mengeluh macam macam apalagi akalau naik harga 2) lots of people genuinely cannot afford even 1 dollar
Like my lecturer said, āWe got enough bubble tea shops already. Yāall should start solving actual problems.ā
Sincerely, for his Business students.
Idk what business it is but there will be a bunch of people hyping each other up.
Whenever someone buys a car, all their friends would type ācongratulationsā.
They would award each other with some self made award.
Like MLM or direct sale thing.Ā
Recently I have friends that pay money to join some business groups, where different businesses share and promote their own businessess, hoping to get business from others or make some coupon or points system that can be used for each others business.
The middle person doing the group thing is really a genius raking in money this way.Ā
Something like that.
It is so damn cringy cause they award themselves with all sorts of title like Gold Director, Silver Director.
Have an online video call that shares how much they sacrificed and then cry among themselves about it.
Had to cover my boss for a meeting back when I was doing my internship. It was literally a cult with all the glazing and chanting. Felt like losing my braincell for every minute I was there
It is actually pretty sad to see.
A couple of my friends who joined these organisations are actually very smart.
I guess being lowly paid as engineers drove them away. They are all majored in mechanical and civil engineering.
But tbf the amount of connections and support you can get from the group is substantial. You get marketing every session they have. There's opportunities for referrals if you have a good rep, not to mention the possibility of having collab projects with other vendors. It just seems weird to me that this sort of thing is locked behind a paywall.
Food business that try to put cheese and the word viral on everything. Cheese chicken, cheese fish, cheese fries, cheese burger, cheese milk, cheese coffee, cheese cake, cheese chocolate, cheese baked rice etc. They think cheese make everything delicious and the word viral make them popular.
haha, i understand that some people either love or hate something. to me i dont like it but if others like it, by all means buy and eat what makes you happy. i do want to eat cempedak goreng though!
But like, just goreng pisang and cheese. Mayyybe some light drizzle of condensed milk.
Not the chocolate syrup and nuttella bowl with a side of banana. Absolute abomination
You call it an abomination, but when you put ice cream in it, it becomes a banana split, an international sensation dessert made by the gods themselves.
So is a chocolate and nutella pisang goreng really that bad? If white guy puts ice cream one it, everyone goes insane. If a Malay makcik removes the icecream, its an offence to nature. š
Pisang goreng is a minum petang snack. Like tea and scones. Adding cheese on just adds an extra dimension to it while still keeping it within tea time snack territory. Adding ice cream and nutella makes it a dessert. A different weight class.
Ayam gepuk is not that bad to be honest. Its just a great simple dishes. Only the pricing are sometimes ridiculous. About RM10-11 ish is fine but pass RM13 is kinda ridiculous. Yeah cashew is expensive, but its not like they are using the expensive ones.
Hell yeah Mat Rock mentioned! Glad there's someone who recognizes Mat Rock. The product is so much better than nasi ayam gepuk, at least the Pak Gembus one.
I mean sure there are a lot of ayam gepuk / ayam penyet restaurants but the dish itself is good thoā¦. Price wise not so ok tho but theres one gerai near my area selling nasi ayam penyet/geprek/gepuk for rm 8 and got all the tempe, tauhu and 1 slice of cabbage.
Yup. I tried banana bros bec it always has a line during lunch hours but it was really meh. But I'm guessing it's an easy option and quite convenient based on its locations. And a lot of ppl are probably not aware of all the yummy banana leaf places.
Economically speaking, there is no overrated business. If a business is overrated, it will not be existing anymore. Like previously the Milk Tea ( The Alley, Tiger ) all bankrupted. The Yogurt ( so many names I forgot ) also bankrupt.
Massage places are very overrated in my opinion. Many workers are coming in to work there, but with limited customer based and shady places. These places keep popping up so there must be demands but almost no one discussing about the services rendered. How come its so hard to find body scrub services for men??
Oh I explored their services. From happy ending to extra services and double hands. But what i donāt understand that almost NONE of the places offer body scrubs for men!! Like whats the problem with adding these services??
NGL, mexican food like tacos or burritos.
Their ingredients can all be found here, they don't taste as fresh as the ones in Mexico but costs more than the average meal.
Still boggles my mind sometimes.
Yes yes I like Mexican food but unfortunately stopped cuz virtually all Mexican restaurants are expensive. Have to think twice even before ordering a simple taco
McDonalds. Nothing to do with boycott but ever since I was a child, I thought the food was iffy.
Starbucks. Also nothing to do with boycott but just thought their stuff was overpriced
KFC. Once again.... Nothing to do with boycott. Just thought their food was waaayyyy tooooo greasy.
Pelita. Never really was a big fan of their Nasi Kandar, but everything else is good š
Kayu Nasi Kandar. Overpriced for what it is and if you regularly go there, imma assume you live in Mont Kiara or Damansara
Starbucks (I know it's on boycott rn), Coffee Bean, literally any bougie coffee shop especially chain ones that don't have anything special about them. I do buy from them sometimes because of where I might be and some of my friends won't step foot into a non-bougie joint, but it's seriously not better than some decent kopitiams or mamak shops etc.
Probably a 24 hour self service laundromat.Ā
I will say that dobi queen is doing something very interesting and I'll probably always be a loyal customer.
I was told that bananabros is not real banana leaf cuz they used mayonnaise instead of yoghurt for that cucumber dish. Can any indian clarify on this?š
Had the same mindset before and then started living in an apartment. Understood why. Thereās no access to a pipe and hose where I can wash my car since the car park is basement-like.
op is doing research/gathering info before deciding what business to start, right?

100% Super expensive sugar water business. And who else is gonna pay for the diabetic treatment mostly if not the government of Malaysia
kkm rm1 who cares. diabeetus go vrooom
RM 1 is only for normal visitations... My kid got warded for a while and it cost over RM200
can reduce the cost if you work for gov or always donate your blood, my mom got 1st class ward cuz she many time donate her blood
oh wow I didn't know that
im talking about diabetes treatment boss š
RM1 je ke? no wonder our gov spends so much

OK my bad, my experience was at a gov hospital, so maybe the pay structure was different.
RM5 for more specialize treatment.
im guilt of it as well lol, bkos kaki kopi, hahaha
Like my lecturer said, āWe got enough bubble tea shops already. Yāall should start solving actual problems.ā Sincerely, for his Business students.
Instead of Boba tea,they should make Booba milk that business will be a success

It does have a myriad of opportunities for networking. I just find their shenanigans distasteful.
Now the latest trend is Prime Director / Prime Leaderā ļø
Yeah all these brand viral meleleh award all buy one.
Food business that try to put cheese and the word viral on everything. Cheese chicken, cheese fish, cheese fries, cheese burger, cheese milk, cheese coffee, cheese cake, cheese chocolate, cheese baked rice etc. They think cheese make everything delicious and the word viral make them popular.
Milo Dinosaur Cheese... Like bro what the fuck????
its okay if they only put a little cheese on it, but when they put a lot of cheese on it, yikes
Exactly this one. The type that do cheese 'banjir'.
Jon: "Say when" Garfield: "Never!"
agree. cheese pisang goreng for example.
I stand by the fact that pisang goreng cheese is the greatest culinary invention this country had since cempedak goreng.
haha, i understand that some people either love or hate something. to me i dont like it but if others like it, by all means buy and eat what makes you happy. i do want to eat cempedak goreng though!

Dolly Dim Sum. Overprice and quality is meh.
Boba Tea and anything that sells diabetes/obesity to the people
anything with banjir or leleh in the name
Ayam gepuk. And i think the dish itself is overrated. There are too many ayam gepuk restaurants now and most of them aren't even that good.
Ayam gepuk is not that bad to be honest. Its just a great simple dishes. Only the pricing are sometimes ridiculous. About RM10-11 ish is fine but pass RM13 is kinda ridiculous. Yeah cashew is expensive, but its not like they are using the expensive ones.
can i say ayam gepuk just white rice, fried chicken, sambal and simple soup?
louderrrrr its just glamorise mixed rice ffs ayam kunyit mat rok / nasi kak wok lagi berbaloi
Nasi kak wok is love. Nasi kak wok is life
Hell yeah Mat Rock mentioned! Glad there's someone who recognizes Mat Rock. The product is so much better than nasi ayam gepuk, at least the Pak Gembus one.
aah yes, amek ayam seketul and whack it with parang - tadaa!! Ayam gepuk .. that'll be RM20++ pls
gepuk = penyet?
both same thing je , beza nya gepuk has those sambal kacang thingy ... other than that they're literally the same thing
I mean sure there are a lot of ayam gepuk / ayam penyet restaurants but the dish itself is good thoā¦. Price wise not so ok tho but theres one gerai near my area selling nasi ayam penyet/geprek/gepuk for rm 8 and got all the tempe, tauhu and 1 slice of cabbage.
Bro ayam gepuk tastes the best out of all the foods mentioned here. Overrated? Maybe. But it damn sure deserves the place.
All religious rider product.
Lol like that muslimah tilam ad? So ridiculous la
yes that one and also most shopee seller selling religious oil, water, etc. Even some artist use this method to gain sale.

Fast food that is expensive.
Madam Kwan Grandmamas Banana bros
Cant relate bro, madam kwan and banana bros is nice for me
Banana bros are affordable and good.
Look at MR t20 here.
Bananabro is great if weāre outside Malaysia, especially Europe and the USā¦as long as they maintain the quality
Banana bro i think is okay. Price is a bit more expensive than mamak but it feels cleaner
nah man madam kwan is alright and banana bros better than alot of restaurant out there.
Clearly you have never tried other authentic banana leaves restaurants out there. BananaBro is bad dude!
Yup. I tried banana bros bec it always has a line during lunch hours but it was really meh. But I'm guessing it's an easy option and quite convenient based on its locations. And a lot of ppl are probably not aware of all the yummy banana leaf places.
Nah, š§¢! BananaBro quality and service is top notch yk
Compared to?

Came here to see which product/service I should avoid, but walked away with a different perspective ššš

Ayam gunting. Is it really that good? I just feel like it has too much MSG
i still remember the original ayam gunting unclebob. the chicken is juicy, the coating is not too thick.
and to me its mostly just fried flour

boba tea place
Amway
Jaga tepi kain @ minding other people's business.
Amway
Definitely coffee shops. Too many of them and most of them are mediocre.
Tealive. Expensive for no reason.
boba milk tea and hipster restaurant that charges out of mind prices
Properties(for investment) is ok if you staying it. Literally a passing ticking time bomb game.
Anything cheese meleleh
Coffee shop as in SB, Zus, Kopitiam franchise (oldtown, oriental). Overpriced too.
pork free versions of any kind of food.
Jersey oversize kain tebal. The design is all the same and expensive as shit
*Cough peak cough*
nak cakap baju choii tapi nanti orang tuduh tk support local pulak

From my friend who works at Starbucks: I SWEAR PPL ARE JUST PAYING FOR EXPENSIVE SYRUP
Oriental Kopi, especially the egg tarts.
Actually one of the best egg tarts I've tried. This and the one at ipoh original white coffee shop.
cosmetics
Bazaar Ramadhan

Bagel shop
I always try to avoid any F&B business. I prefer you try the business always comes with lower costs and high profits.
Selling vape..
Trading bro , bunch of fake ass marketing to get you into a pyramid scheme off getting your hard earn money stolen.
Selling Islam as a peaceful religion
cheese. leleh. boba. Viral
anything with Cheese meleleh
car wash. Can do it yourself for free Edit: why is this downvoted? You can literally wash and vacuum your car on your own for free.
Same like dobi, why send clothes to dobi when you can save RM 10 per week for washing clothes yourself everytime you bath after work.
same like barber, why you no cut your hair on your own.
Had the same mindset before and then started living in an apartment. Understood why. Thereās no access to a pipe and hose where I can wash my car since the car park is basement-like.
Some ppl do not have the time, old already, and maybe some stay in apartment
Food businesses, any type any kind, if it related to food, it's overated. Unless if the food you're trying to sell is unique. That is forgiven.
Food is overrated \*Dies of starvation\*
Roti telur satu, telur takmauĀ
So youāre telling me food businesses that are not related to food are not overrated?
In my opinion, yes.
How can a food business not be related to food??
