SEREMBAN: Kampung Jiboi Baru folk are a proud lot now after Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim dropped by to savour their signature dish known as Cendol Songkok Tinggi here.
The Prime Minister stopped by the outlet located in Ampangan to try out the coconut milk-based iced dessert typically made with rice flour jelly and palm sugar syrup en route to perform Friday prayers at the Dato' Klana Petra Mohd Yusof mosque in Sikamat.
Co-owner Ahmad Dani Daud 42, said his team of more than 20 workers who were also residents in the area had been working tirelessly since they got the news that Anwar was planning to make a stop."And when that happened, it was all helter-skelter as we wanted to make sure we were fully prepared," he said.
He said what made the outlet different was the fact that it was started by 10 friends who wanted to run a community-based business."Since they had time on their hands, they thought of doing something to keep themselves busy and they started off with a small-scale catering business in 2010," he said. "We chose to promote dishes popular in Johor as my dad was from Segamat and we do not have much variety of Johorean food sold here.
