has been developed to keep the profile of entrepreneurs of food premises
in the city of Kuching. The NyengNyeng is developed to profile food
entrepreneurs which is located in the radius of 1 kilometer of five hotels in
the city of Kuching. There are 34 food premises which have been identified
and grouped into four categories: food premises with Halal certification from
JAKIM, Muslim food premises without Halal certification, Muslim Eatery
inside non-Muslim premises and non-Muslim eateries premises.
