As everything comes to a halt under the Movement Control Order (MCO), businesses were greatly affected last year. During the MCO 2.0, it’s no different. Using the hawker stall tactic, this creative strategy allows top hotels in Penang and Sabah to make ends meet while keeping costs low.
Check out some of these hotels and what you can order from them:

As both establishments are under the Shang-ri La Group and are within the same premise, the ‘hawker centre’ is set up by both hotels.
