The stall name is Jijah’s NK Stall. When a team got touch with Jijah’s husband, for getting more information about deals in Bitcoin.
Here all conversation translated into English by the team, who talked with them.
Other than just Bitcoin, the tech-savvy makcik and pakcik have even set up their location on Google Maps and Waze, they told that always they update their facebook page regularly about the service, opening hours and other updates.
They think that they are providing services and sell foods at a reasonable price”
Their customers who had bitcoin accounts were not excited to pay them with this method till now.
The process is simple for buy nasi kerabu from the stall, Ringgit is converted into USD, and USD is later converted into Bitcoin. Then scan and go home, the process is simple according to various Facebook posts.
Launched occasionally for Bitcoin transaction and started at 8th of August, Jijjah’s NK Stall set this platform up as an option for people who would like to use it and it worked there. But still, most people are paying through cold hard cash.
In the Facebook post announcing the ability to pay using Bitcoin, Jijah’s NK Stall encouraged their patrons to swap to the digital Bitcoin currency that is accepted worldwide, characterizing it as profitable and safe.
They also discussed with their fans about payment and asked them to ““tanya makcik google-taip: apa itu bitcoin” (Translation: Ask aunt Google by typing: what is Bitcoin).
This seems to be their small part in educating reticent Malaysians about Bitcoin, separating it from MLM and scams. They even spread information about Bitcoin and aware people about Bitcoin and shared a Forbes article regarding Bitcoin.
Jijah’s NK stall positive about cryptocurrency and believes that Bitcoin is the future. They think that Bitcoin is the king Segala Matawang (The king of all currencies), Jijah’s husband they think it because they study about it and they came to this conclusion based on a few factors.
They know, in the Cryptocurrency Market Cap charts, Bitcoin holds the topmost position and higher position over all other cryptocurrencies.
“That’s outstanding profit compared to commercial banks,” he said.
“We look far ahead. Perhaps one-day digital currencies will grow.”
As for their food, while we have yet to sample their nasi kerabu fares, all of the reviews on their Facebook page so far have been promising, placing them at a 4.6 out of 5-star rating.

Jijah’s husband feels proud and told that Datuk Siti Nurhaliza’s prolific husband, Datuk K had eaten at their stall.
He told that “Datuk K and Datuk Siti requested for Nasi Kerabu Jijah just two days ago.”
Other than that, during the holy month of Ramadhan, the team was happy to announce that they’ve also spread their business to Kedah with a stall named Nasi Dagang Teruna, though it does not seem like Bitcoin is enabled in that branch yet.
When Jijah’s husband was speaking about cashless in Malaysia he sadly told that “Indonesia is more forward in this aspect”.
There is a Bank called “Bank Mandari” and “Bank Mandari is one of the banks that accept digital money transactions.”
It indicates that that Jijah’s NK Stall has passion and know the future of Bitcoin and have well knowledgeable in Bitcoin, and though he thinks he needs to learn more things about the topic.
To him, it’s all about “seizing opportunities, instead of waiting and seeing if opportunities arise”.
It does not matter they are running a stall but they know the future and these businesspeople are thinking ahead into the future and embracing technology as it comes.
One thing is sure about we can see and imagine about future, one-day Jijah’s NK stall will tell you that they were assured about Bitcoin many years ago.
Team member stated that As for me, I think it’s a bit of a shame that I don’t get to sample their nasi kerabu anytime soon since it’ll be quite a trip to get there.
Nevertheless, if you ever find yourself in Kelantan and own some Bitcoin, you’ll probably make this Pakcik’s day if you choose to buy nasi kerabu cashless.
As the daughter of a Kelantanese mother, I can say that authentic nasi kerabu is an experience you won’t want to miss, at least.
