It’s not every day you get to meet celebrities. What are the chances that a famous person would walk right into your shop or restaurant? This restaurant owner was over the moon when she found out that the one and only Dato Siti Nurhaliza decided to dine in at her establishment in London.
If you thought the restaurant owner was lucky to have had a Malaysian icon as her customer, imagine how this stall owner must’ve felt when his customers turned out to be the King and Queen themselves. Watch:
@_defnotkai_ POV : Agong dan Permaisuri order air balang 🙏🏼 #agongmalaysia #agongkita
Last week, Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah and Raja Permaisuri Agong Tunku Azizah Aminah Maimunah Iskandariah visited Penang for 3 days, and at one point during their stay, the royal couple decided to drop by at the Tanjung Tokong Ramadan Bazaar to buy food for iftar. TikTok user @_defnotkai_ posted a video of the Malaysian royals visiting his stall to order drinks.
The Air Balang seller, known as Kai, was very happy to serve the King and Queen during their visit when they ordered a few drinks from his stall. In the video above, the Royal couple can be heard ordering Asam Boi, Ribena, and Air Jagung (sweet corn drink) from the owner. According to local media, the seller and his brothers did not expect to meet the King and Queen that day and felt very lucky to have received orders from the Royal customers.
The video has since gone viral, now reaching nearly 300k views, and 11.2k likes. Netizens were amused to see Malaysian royals out and about ordering food at the Ramadan bazaar. Some imagined how nervous the stall owner must’ve been, especially after they noticed that His Highness had tapped him on the shoulder while ordering the corn drink.
We’re pretty sure the business owners at the Bazaar in Penang were stoked to have such prolific figures in their presence that day.
