It's less than three weeks before Hari Raya and home baker Norlaila Abd Hamid, 61, is busy making her signature coconut biscuits for customers.

Since the start of Ramadan, the mother of two from Taman Medan in Petaling Jaya has made 300 containers of her much sought-after cookies. The sweet treats are promoted as "Norlaila".
