This is a mamak restaurant specializing in fish head curry and Nasi Kandar (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasi_kandar). In Malaysia, the term 'mamak' refers to Tamil Muslims, who generally own and operate restaurant. People of all races, religions and ages frequent mamak restaurants to gossip or catch a late-night football game while enjoying a cup of hot teh tarik (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teh_tarik). Mamak restaurants tend to be popular among Malaysian youths as hang out spots, due to cheap food and beverages being served 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year.

No other eatery has quite as much cultural significance in Malaysia, save for the kopi tiam (Chinese coffeeshops). However, the staff in mamak restaurants often have very long working hours and poor working conditions. The long opening hours make cleaning more difficult, so hygiene can be poor. The manpower are generally Indian national migrants, both legal and illegal, but the increasingly robust economy of India in 2010 has caused severe manpower shortage for mamak restaurants in Malaysia, since many Indian nationals now have a choice to work locally or overseas.
