GEORGE TOWN: After reuniting with her three children, Loh Siew Hong plans to start a food truck business to save money for their education.
While she loves her assistant chef’s job at a hotel in Genting Highlands, she has long wanted to buy a food truck so that she can serve her dishes to more customers.
Loh said she did very well when she ran an economy rice stall at Taman Ria Jaya in Sungai Petani, Kedah, during better days, and believes she can do the same now.
“My passion is cooking. I even studied culinary arts at a community college,” she told FMT.
“At first, I wanted to rent a stall at a shop near Cameron Highlands. But then I thought, if I had a food truck, I could sell my food at different places. That way, I can earn more money to save up for my children’s education. I want to send them to university.
“I have bought all the cooking ware, thinking I will be able to rent a small stall. I have also seen some food trucks for sale online, but I am unsure if I can afford it now. But, I am open to advice.”
Loh said she is adept at preparing both Chinese and Indian food, adding that her char kuey teow and mee goreng had been a hit during her Sungai Petani days.
At her present home in the Klang Valley, she said it had been a “sweet day” for her. “The kids woke up saying they missed my maggi goreng. So I made them some and they were happy.
“Later, I’m taking them shopping for some clothes, especially my youngest one who has been making some demands,” she said.
Her 14-year-old twin daughters and 10-year-old son seemed happy when Loh put the phone call on speaker. They said they carried out their pre-dawn prayers and were glad to be home.
Asked about their ambitions, one of the girls said she was keen to join the police academy, while the other wanted to be a counsellor or a shariah law practitioner.
“I want to repair big drones when I grow up,” the boy said, as his sisters giggled in the background. - FMT
