Sangkaya is the new food sensation which is very popular on Instagram/ social media. It has various branches namely, SS15, Uptown Damansara, Ampang Point,Kelana Jaya, Jalan Alor Bukit Bintang and even at Jonker Street, Malacca. But we are going to focus mainly on Sankaya SS15.
Sangkaya is named after the co-founder of this unique company, Sangrida Kaya who is an international F&B entrepreneur. Besides that, John the founder of Sankaya would like the company to carry the real Asian image where the name Sangkaya sounded very Malaysian. It is also with another hidden meaning where in Chinese, Sangkaya actually means a person who is rich. Looking at how they named the company has shown clearly that the founders have put their heart and soul into everything that they are doing, same goes to their products.
Sankaya Kelana Jaya is one of the newest branch. They opened up last year (2015) around September. This branch had been taken over by Mr. Albert K K Tung this year (2016) around March. Sankaya been in the business industry for almost 3 years. Sangkaya has now available in 9 different locations, 7 in Klang Valley and 2 in Malacca. It was all begins on the Valentine’s Day one year back. The team tested the market in Jalan Alor and of course the response was good. They were first known as the Alor Coconut Ice Cream, where they were just a push cart kiosk in Jalan Alor and it remains. From this year March onwards, Mr.Albert K K Tung is the one who is taking care of this outlet together with his another branch in Cheras. Mr Albert K K Tung got into this business once he retired. He wanted to do something once he retired and the main reason why he got interested with this café is because of his liking towards ice-cream. He loves ice-cream all the while. Although he does not have experience in food and beverages industry, he wants to do something out from his liking. Since Mr.Albert K K Tung is a former of professional chartered accountant and lecturer in University Malaya, he have pretty good knowledge about marketing,finance,accounts and everything that a businessman needs to run a business. He said that “it will be a waste if I did not use or practice the knowledge and experience that I gained all these years”. And yeah that’s why he is the owner of Sankaya SS15 now.
