101 guides to survive the economy downturn...

Rule # 89 – Open a Ramly burger stall

Yes, that’s right. You hear it here first. Why not open a Ramly Burger stall? You can make additional side income and everyone is your target market… This is a sure win. What? You don’t look like a ‘Mr. Ramly’… well, what about these guys? They succeeded. If you don’t try, you will never know.



You’re thinking that it is difficult to set up a stall right? Ok, allow us to run through with you… Firstly you need to print out a price tag for your burgers. You can have a fancy colourful price list or just a plain paper will do.


But remember; don’t put up the price too high. Everyone is financially tight too. Listen to the Government and help out where can, bring the price down a little.

That’s right. Next you need to hire some coolly. Yes, these coolly are the cool people that will help you cut breads, apply butter on bread, fold papers, fry sausages and etc at a very cool price. They’ll do it for free burger.



Next, add some variety to the menu. Yes, it is more difficult nowadays if you are only selling burger. Ramly has to diversify to sausages, hotdogs, French fries, Roti John, water and etc. Hey, if taxi driver can sell these, why ramly cannot?




The next part is going to the main ingredient. How to make a good tasty Ramly burger and hotdog? It is actually not that difficult. Firstly, cook the burger meat and sausages.


While the meat is frying, prepare the bread with ready sliced cabbages and mustard. The key is to ensure each squeeze is proportionate with the toppings. There must be enough of everything but not too much so something. As the buyer bite the burger or hotdog, he or she must be able to taste all ingredient at once without missing anything.


Next, place the meat properly aligned at the centre core of the burger bread or hotdog. The meat must be aligned centre to ensure maximum control while handling the burger and everything is taken into the bite.


If so you feel that you did not put enough ingredients, do not be afraid. You can add additional toppings after you have placed the meat. But remember the rule that says enough of everything but not too much of something.



Finally you can proudly display your product and with the help of promoters and a few friends hanging as customer in your burger stall, you are all set to take on and overcome the economy situation of this country. All the best!!!


The writer wishes to thank all who has participated in the fundraising for the Thailand Mission Trip. The selling of pens, perfumes, burger, charity futsal competition and personal contribution has been overwhelming. All in all, we managed to collect approximately RM 6,000.00 from the fundraising events.





The mission team has left to Chiang Rai on 3rd December and we are expecting them to arrive tonight. We have heard of so many good testimonies even before they reach the destination and God has His ways in saving the best for last. Their final night rally, which attracted almost 350 youths, brought fame to a few missionaries and more importantly, added souls to the Kingdom of God. I leave them to share with you all their life changing stories.
