AYER HITAM (Johor): Sopian Mahmon set aside the tools of being a labourer 18 years ago to take up a culinary route that has now made him a millionaire.
Visitors coming to this town that is famous for its bazaars can see the 69-year-old Sopian at one of his stalls preparing his trademark putu bambu, a traditional delicacy made from rice flour and cooked with gula melaka (palm sugar), pandan leaf and desiccated coconut, steamed in bamboo pipes.
