Because the freezer suddenly broke. The crepes seller has to suffer losses because all the food is stale, and loses up to tens of millions of rupiah.
Crepes or crepes are thin pancakes typical of France and Germany which are used as dessert there. Crepes are usually served with pieces of fresh fruit, cream, jam and foreign fillings such as meat and fish.
Even though they come from Europe, the popularity of crepes in Asian countries like Malaysia is quite high. In fact, many local crepes sellers have gone viral, and their wares are selling well, with their homemade crepes products.
Like a crepes seller from Penang, Malaysia named Kieda. Through his TikTok account @kiedacrepe, he diligently uploads his homemade desserts and crepes. In fact, this business is selling well, and is able to sell hundreds of servings of crepes in a day.
There are also buyers who are willing to stand in line for seven hours just to taste the crepes they make.

So he often keeps stock of the crepes he sells using a chiller or freezer, so his wares don’t go stale easily. But unfortunately, one of the freezers turned out to be broken, until all the crepes in it were stale because they were runny.
The video of Kieda crying while making hundreds of stale crepes went viral on his TikTok (18/07). In the video, Kieda explains that he found the freezer in his kitchen damaged.
There are hundreds of crepes ready to be sold so they are stale and inedible. In the end, he had no other choice but to throw them away one by one. The total loss he experienced due to this problem was almost RM 10,000 (Rp 33 million).
“It hurts me to see this much food being thrown away. Moreover, all of this food is made from scratch,” Kieda confides while crying in the video.

Apart from losing money, he was quite sad because the hard work of all his employees was wasted. Kieda tries to stay positive and continues his business again.
One of them is by producing and making hundreds of crepes from scratch with their employees. So that orders that have been entered are not hampered.
Apart from selling online, Kieda does have an offline store that is always flocked by buyers. Therefore he did not want to disappoint buyers who are already lining up.
“Life is tough, but our shop in Seberang Perai Penang remains open to the public as usual,” concluded Kieda.
