He Makes RM25k a Week Selling Caramel Pudding in Bukit Bintang | Gen Z Money

In this episode, we sit down with Amirul Faiz. After walking away from his past as a street racer (Mat Rempit) due to financial pressures, Amirul set out to change his life and build a business to honor his late mother, who passed away in 2022 from COVID-19. Spotting a gap in the Malaysian F&B market, he spent a full year on R&D mastering Quesillo - a Latin American dessert made purely with 100% fresh kampung eggs and milk, without gelatin or fillers. Starting with just an RM12,000 initial investment, Amirul now handles long queues of customers from all over Malaysia, Singapore, Australia, Japan and more. 💳 Sponsored by GXBank Starting or scaling a business in Malaysia?
