As the world battles on with the current pandemic, people's livelihood have been affected. Many are turning to their roots, family traditions and skills in cooking to venture into a new food business that caters to all. Just like Nong, owner of Nong's Noodle House. Nong runs a small noodle shop in Thailand and dreams of taking her family recipe nationwide one day.
While she wants to scale up her business, her space can sit only 10 people at a time, so it's hard for her to grow her business and save up to open a second store. This is when Nong decided to bring Nong's Noodle House onto GrabFood to serve more customers beyond her dine-in space.
