How long would you queue?


Malaysians love good food: how else would you explain such long queues for food? Photos: Filepic

It isn’t unusual for a queue to start at about 6.30 in the morning (an hour before opening time) at Dou Dou Bake, a trendy new “designer bakery” in Petaling Jaya, and stretch all day, every day.

The average waiting time to score a seat at the barely one-month old bakery is about an hour and a half but it can stretch to three hours on weekends and public holidays – which was exactly the case on Merdeka Day on Monday.
