Comedian and radio host Rahim Sepahtu shut his roti canai and goat-curry stall in Petaling Jaya after just 30 days despite daily sales that required five kilograms of goat meat.

Market Impact

Speaking to local media, he said the first month generated enough orders to use nearly 5 kg of goat meat each day at a cost of about RM150 of raw material at retail prices. “For the first month we had good response,” he told Gempak. “We used almost 5 kg of goat meat every day.”

The stall operated as a joint venture with a partner who provided space in a shared food court on Jalan Kebun, Selangor. Rahim chose roti canai because he liked the dish and wanted to avoid overlap with neighbouring food vendors. After advertising in a community group, he hired one flipper after screening five candidates. “Only one showed up and passed the test,” he said.

He did not disclose start-up costs or whether he incurred losses. The quick closure came despite a viral video last month showing long queues at the Jalan Kebun location, which sparked speculation the concept could expand. Local small-business observers said high ingredient costs and thin margins often force short-lived food stalls to close within weeks.

Rahim said he was grateful for the experience and would consider other food ventures if this one did not work out. “If it succeeds, I will try to expand,” he said. “Maybe later we open a permanent stall.”
