AS Hari Raya draws near, Muslims everywhere are not only planning to ‘balik kampung,’ they are also looking for good food to bring back with them or to break fast with.

In Jalan Baru, Butterworth, classic lemang is selling like hot cakes as Khalijah Saad, 54, and husband Rosdi Nyan, 53, strive to ensure that at least 1,500 lemang sticks are ready for loyal customers daily.
