The Origin

Zoul’s Corner initially began as a humble Nasi Padang business that was run by the owner’s mother for over 30 years.

After a year of helping his mother in business, Mr Azhar otherwise known as Zoul, discovered that a Nasi Padang stall was a tough business to run. A Nasi Padang stall required long working hours. Added to that, preparation also took up a lot of time to ensure that a variety of dishes were available. Struggling with the back breaking working hours, he decided that it was not his cup of tea.

Instead, he focused on cutting down the items to niche items that will represent Zoul’s Corner and that’s how their specialty item, Zoul’s Nasi Ayam Penyet came about!
