Early this morning, many Malaysians were seen gathering in front of H&M at Lot 10 Shopping Centre

From the photos, it appeared to be an event where local vendors were selling their wares, ranging from food to fashion. Not only that, people could be seen engaging with a claw machine, and many were lining up in front of a cute-looking kombi truck that looked like it was selling ice cream. 

And, it looked like there was a special appearance by Malaysia's number one salesperson, Auntie Siow, played by Jenn Chia!

As all these activities definitely pulled everyone's attention as they walked by the scene, one question remained — what in the world is going on?

Well, it's actually Maybank's MAE-riah bazaar, which is taking place from 20 to 21 August!

Held in conjunction with Hari Kebangsaan and Malaysia Day, the two-day bazaar in Lot 10, KL, features local merchants and food trucks! It's the perfect place to feast on yummy eats and take part in all the exciting activities.

Since then, they've continued to sell this popular Malaysian street snack, all while maintaining the quality and taste of their extra large curry puffs.

4. Streetwear brand The Sambar Incident features clothing pieces that focus on three elements: quality, uniqueness, and you!
