Have you been standing in a long line just to get your current craving of the latest food trend at a certain mini-mart?
I bet you have! And you probably are standing in that line at this very moment too!
I am the kind of person who loves to eat and get on the trending wagon - but when I see such a long line outside the store, I will immediately turn off and will wait when the craze-wave is over or at least subside before I will come and visit the store again.
Earlier this week, I went to Terminal Bersepadu Selatan (TBS) to send off a friend who was travelling up north. First of all, I have never been here so I was amazed at the facilities - so similar to an airport facility. Good job TBS!
As her bus will only be leaving in an hour's time, we decided to look for a place to eat - a simple and easy meal will do as she doesn't want to be asking the driver to make an emergency stop along the way due to too much food.
At level 4, strategically located at a vast area beside the lift, there stands a Tekun Mart. With its bright red store sign and eye-catching buntings outside the store, my eyes were immediately caught sight of drinks and food!
We decided to check the store out. And we were pleasantly surprised by the products that it carried. 95% of the products sold in the store was locally made products and most came from our Small & Medium Enterprises (SME).
The best thing is that Tekun Mart also serves Halal Oden! Oh yes! Now I get to be the trendy ones too - I decided to try the tasty looking oden here. It was yummy and filling! And my friend, the ever-trendy person who will try everything trending, also gave her thumbs up! The broths were equally great - I tried the least spicy ones (as I am not that adventurous) and she literally sipped the tom yum broth after we have finished eating out the cakes of the stick.
And Tekun Mart also offers catering services for the Live Oden Stall, should you wish to add some trending element your upcoming open house/ celebrations too. Just contact [Kak Wani | +6016 964 5544 | tekunmart@gmail.com | FB ] if you to have the best halal oden served to your family and friends.
As the trip to up north (Kedah) might take up to 6 hours (on a good day), she decided to buy some titbits and drinks for the journey. There were some local titbits that we lovingly called jajan - you know what it is - all those local crackers and nuts that we love eating growing up.
And she bought some Durian Crepe too - she is a durian lover to the max. Whereas I bought some pau with anchovies sambal, kelapa and kaya fillings for my trip back home (it will only take me around 20 minutes to reach home, but hey - I gotta eat too).
I love that fact that this amazing store sold so many food items that will make one's travelling much easier. All are nicely and safely packed and ready to go such as spaghetti, durian crepe and meatballs/ chicken balls.
And there's one brand, Nasgera, that serves our most favourite food in a matter of minutes. Just add hot water into the premix and not 5 minutes later, you may indulge in your choice of Nasi Lemak, Nasi Goreng Cendawan Ayam, Nasi dan Asam Pedas, Nasi Goreng Kampung or Nasi Goreng Cina. These amazing (and magical) creations will become very handy when travelling abroad!
After having the oden and some pau, we decided to have the delicious ice cream. It was yummy and soft too. I wanted to have my second helping of the ice-cream but I remembered that about me wanting watch my waist line. Hahaha.
Oh. The store operates from 7 am until 11 pm, daily.
When I googled online about Tekun Mart, I learned that TEKUN Mart is funded by Koperasi Rakan Tekun Berhad (KRTB) that aims to assist the Bumiputra entrepreneurs to launch their business. Other services availabe under KRTB are insurance and tabung khairat kematian for its members.
Sedap nampak Oden tu. Pau tu pun nampak sedap juga. Nak nak pau kaya. Jom support business Tekun ni. Produk Nasgera tu bagus beli kalau nak travel. Menyenangkan travel kat tempat yang susah nak jumpa makanan halal.
Pernah sampai Tbs 2 kali seumur hidup! Tapi tak pernah rasanya pergi Tekun Mart. Next time datang boleh laa try oden kat situ. Tak larat laa nak beratur panjang kat Family Mart ��
wah bagusnya mart macam ni! bukan saja halal, malah sedap-sedap belaka. patutnya dia kena expand lagi la benda camni supaya dapat bantu usahawan2 kan?>
Tahniah kepada anda kerana mencari makanan yang berstatus halal dahulu sebelum makan. Tahniah juga kepada Tekun mart kerana mengutamakan halal dalam jualan terutamanya makanan.
Congrats Tekun for making this good opportunity to our SME products. Hopefully they will open more mart to the airport especially and by the way the food looks good and someone says the oden is so yummy!

First time hearing of Tekun Mart, since my current office is like 3 mins away from TBS 😂 How can i missed the oden when its so near? Hahah. Looks like the store has many interesting foods to try out. Even the pau is attractive!
