Clanks of candy peddler pulls in the passers-by
MUAR: An old candy peddler here does not need to shout or toot a horn to attract customers as the sharp clanks of his chisel and hammer on the hardened gula tarik (pulled candy) is quite effective.
Tay Kim Wah, 74, from Jalan Lama near Parit Tiram here, also does not need a car or motorcycle as his trusty old bicycle takes him all over the town.
He has been making and selling gula tarik for many years and earns enough to support his family.
“I decided to sell gula tarik after noticing that not many people in the town knew about it.
“When I was young, there were peddlers selling this candy in my neighbourhood and I liked it,” he said when met at Jalan Sisi here.
