In Taman Melawati, Ampang, Selangor, customers begin lining up outside a small kiosk well before its 5 pm weekday opening, eager to get their hands on salt bread, a Japanese pastry that has become hugely popular in South Korea. Within less than two hours of opening, every loaf available at Cikkiah Salt Bread is sold out, leaving many customers to head home disappointed. Its owner Nor Zakiah Abdullah, who is in her 40s, has been in the cake and pastry business for more than a decade and introduced salt bread in 2024. According to the entrepreneur, her salt bread only became a bestseller after she began operating from a kiosk provided under the Ministry of Housing and Local Government's MyKiosk initiative, a federal government programme that offers safe, standardised and affordable business spaces for roadside traders and micro entrepreneurs, helping them transition from informal trading into licensed, sustainable businesses.
