There are four of us in the group, Chris (audio editor), Chen Li (director), Wahyu (video editor) and Joanne (producer). We are doing a documentary on a shop name Long Fatt at Malacca and the title is Teo Chew foods for Video Class’s assignment.

Our first trip to Malacca was on Friday (30th May), we started our journey at KL Central at 10.30am and reached Malacca around 12.30pm. After Wahyu did his prayer and we took our lunch, we met the owner of Long Fatt at 3pm.

He told us that He’s the third generations of the shop and his son going to be the fourth generations of the shop but will it be successful or not, they still not sure about it. Besides, the shop started business pre-war and it’s started from his grandfather who is from China. His grandfather passed away when he was 5 years old.

Other then these, people do said they believe this is the only Teo Chew porridge which still exists in Malacca and the roll of shops use to have 7 wells since pre-war and 4 had been closed, one of it is in the shop and they still using it for washing.
