Mamak…The tarik “oney”

 

A very common phrase used among “Mamakians”..What is it about “mamak” stall that attract much…Is it a culture or perhaps a lifestyle??..do you feel cool sitting at the road side? Spurring out some smoke, polluting the fresh, clean night air. Not for me I guess..but most people tends to enjoy themselves doing this.

So what is it about mamak stall that attract that much??. Nothing much actually..They just put a big screen broadcasting a live football match, wrestling…or movie and…mmm…Is that all??

Variety??..Price??..just go on listing it and you’ll keep finding a great alternative for such thing. Even if you go to your college’s café you can find that much variety with a very much cheaper price. But why mamak??…I don’t have the answer…subjective…I love to use this words in most of my writing…hahaha…forgive me if its annoy you..

I think one of the key to their success is attitude. How many of us Malaysian willing to invest their money (Not talking about few hundreds, I’m talking about 100 of thousand or maybe millions) for such thing as mamak stall…few??..None??…Well that is the thing needs to be change aside from few other bad attitude of Malaysian Bumi’s (lazy, time management,…I can stay up all night listing them all).Not criticizing, just being open as I admit myself cannot avoid such problems as well. We just have to admit defeat and work our shoulder towards achieving such glory our own way.

Another thing is they open their premises 24-7 which means, anytime you feel like you want to eat there’s always mamak around

the corner.

One thing that really suprises me is the fact that competitions doesn’t seems to affect their bussines…You see at most place, there

will be around two or three mamak’s nearby each other, sometimes side by side.

 

Think about it while having a glass of teh tarik…

So..what are your reason?? Feel free to share with me as I’m really curious…
