Malaysian food is definitely a treat for the stomach, but it seems a stall in Malaysia has been garnering much attention, not for its delicious food but rather its owner who is a feast for the eyes.
Post Went Viral Because of Owner’s Shirtless Photos
Last Friday, a Facebook post was made, featuring a Thai pork knuckle rice stall in the city of Klang, Malaysia.
Since then, the post has gained over 5,500 shares.
And no, it’s not because of the stall’s incredibly sumptuous food.
Instead, what gained attention was the hunky owner featured in the post.
We’ll let his photos speak for themselves.
Yep, we hope you aren’t dying of thirst from that. But if you are, you would have to join a long line of ladies.
Owner is a Personal Trainer
After the post went viral, many netizens were curious as to where they could find the owner.
Thankfully, the post linked his Instagram account—calm down, everyone.
Through his social media, the owner was identified as Vincent Ngah.
And the secret to his well-built figure?
He is a personal trainer.
Previously, doing that as a full-time job, Ngah had to find an alternate source of income during the COVID-19 pandemic as gyms were closed.
Currently, Ngah still works part-time as a personal trainer.
As for the stall, he said it is one of six outlets around Malaysia, serving the same dish.
The personal trainer also added that he owns a few of the stalls.
Thanks Public for Surge in Interest
Despite the unique marketing method, Ngah thanked the public for the massive surge in interest on his stall’s Instagram and Facebook account.
In a post on the stall’s Facebook page, Ngah wrote in Mandarin, “Suddenly it (the photos) became so widespread and I was a little overwhelmed, but I still want to thank everyone for sharing. If something has not been done well, I seek your forgiveness.”
We doubt there is anything he needs to be sorry for.
Now that the causeway is open, you could always pay one of the outlets in Klang a visit and you might be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the owner in the flesh.
After all, it is quite unlikely that we will get to see such marketing strategy in Singapore since the last incident at Bugis Mookata.
In January, someone decided to spoil the fun and alert the police of the restaurant’s special event featuring shirtless men serving drinks.
