Even before the Movement Control Order (MCO) period started, many people have begun to embark on panic buying. Hence, many food products were snapped away immediately including bread.
When it comes to bread, one of the most well-known name in Malaysia is Gardenia. As big as the company might be, it turns out that even Gardenia couldn’t cope with the demand from consumers during this on-going MCO period.
In a reply on its Facebook page, Gardenia Bakeries KL who is responsible for Gardenia products in Peninsular Malaysia* has thanked everyone that has notified them regarding the scarcity of its products throughout the region.
