At the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, William Jacques’ mother passed away. At the time, Jacques was 58 and working in event management. With work drying up, time on his hands and the memories of his mother and her delicious Goan food on his mind, he decided to retire from his full-time job and start something new.
“About three weeks after my mother died, I suddenly had this thought of starting a food business. I live in a neighbourhood Kuala Lumpur and we have a Facebook community page and I noticed that a lot of people started selling food, because restaurants were closed.
