KUCHING, March 28: A local delicatessen worker, known simply as Nori, has honed her craft through relentless practice, mastering the art of serving succulent roasted meats at her stall.
“I practised more than a thousand cuts before I knew that I was competent with my day job serving roasted meats at our stall,” she enthused.
Hailing from Bau and a mother of one, Nori emphasised, “People may think that it is an easy job, but it is always a daily learning curve for me.”
She explained, “I always make sure that my cuts are uniformly done before presenting the savoury succulent cut of the roasted meat to our customers.”
Nori stressed the importance of communication with customers, saying, “I believe that it is important that customers be immaculately presented with what they bought from our stall be it roasted crispy or char siew pork, chicken or duck.”
To tailor her service, Nori shared, “I asked whether they want their meat ‘potong serung’ (cut at an angle) or ‘potong dadu’ (a straight cut).”
Speaking to DayakDaily at her stall in Maong Bazaar, 3rd Mile, Nori highlighted the significance of maintaining hygiene, stating, “We must be fast, immaculately presented and always ensure that our place is clean all the time.”
Nori, who has been in the job for over a year now, expressed, “I like my job and I could say it is one of the easiest jobs I have done so far despite the need to be at the stall as early as 6am daily.”
She added, “We have co-workers and we took turns to break at the stall and ease ourselves and see if we are running out of meat so that we could order.”
Nori’s stall, Matang BBQ Pork Shop, located at Maong Bazaar Commercial Centre, opens daily from 6am to 6pm. For inquiries, call 016 974 2300. — DayakDaily
