Leo C-hia is standng beflind his stall on a hot aftemoon, srniling wamily as
he serves his customere Three generations of his farnily have been selling
lingdng seets in Malrysia sine his grandfather started the business- "hb
hof complains Leo" modng his stall into the shade- But I er{try what I do
and want as marry people as possiHe to try these fadilional sseeb."
Ting-ting $rcets are small and hard and tradtionally handmade by mixing
white sugar, rnaple synrp and stidqy rice. But Leo's family recipe uses
mahose and honeryr instead of rvhite sugar- Leo leamt the trade at the age of
13 by helping his tather to measure the ingrdients- ln those days he often
used to pop a fw $ilets into his mouth, wfridr explains wtry now that he is an adult, some of his front teeth
are missing- "Tlpfs only Fart d tre reason," he la*gtts- -[naybe I didn't brush my teeth prcperly when I rvas
youngerl
Last year, Leo's ffirer finally gave his son permissian to run the business- When making the sseets, Leo
neds cofrtainers of differ$t sizes to mea$tre the ingredients accurately. On md days, he u.se enough tc
make abo;t twtr kilos of $ffeets- lt is essentiat to make the eweets when the temperature is noi too cdd, so
Leo makes his fingrling behrcen ntidday and @m.
It is equally inrpoytant to hane *re right tools rvhen breaking the solid sreets into srnall pircs, Only a
tradibonal metal dlisd and a small harnmer will da the task properly, The 6&year-old chisel that Leo uses
has been passd &$m fuorn generalion to gieneration and is of great lmporlance to him. Fktally, he neds to
have gpod storagp spaoe for htr the ingredients and the frmhly-made srireets.
ln fre dd dalp, his grandfather used to sell and ddlver the sweets from a basket on his biqlCe" His hther
uses h-ls nmfiorbfle to sdl ting{ing, hJt LeCI prefers to use his car- He says, "The more places t go ta, the
more customers I can find. I go wherever I think I can sdl the moet!"
$undays are always the busiest because that is tre day wfren mwt families go out togefter, and Leo enioys
meeting dd and nftv cllstomers. tlVhen there are big orders for a cfilldren"s party, far emmde, Leo rnakes the
ting ting three days before the delivery- a6ough the $rcet$ dc not have any presentatives, and they are best
eaten within three months, they can be stored for up to half a year. Refrigenalion is not necessary, hrt ftey
must always be kept away from sunlight
