Lepas tengok video Eerah burger tu, aku terfikir macam mana lah budak budak bodoh yang sihat tubuh badan, boleh mengemis jadi NPC. Malu nya lah jadi manusia.

Eerah’s Honey Cornflakes
Prior to operating her burger stall, Eerah made headlines last year when she got into the Raya cookies business by making her mother’s Honey Cornflakes, selling 300 jars.
Even though it has been eight years since her mother passed away, she still misses the times they spent together. Her late mother taught her a lot, including how to make honey cornflakes and cakes every year before Raya.
When asked about her mother, Eerah said that she still misses her, as reported by Bernama.

Father’s unconditional love and support
In many of her TikTok videos, her father is always seen by her side, supporting her and the business.
Eerah seems to have a special place in her father’s heart as she is the only daughter in her family and the youngest among four siblings.

Her father, Nadzri Abd Majid, 66, said that because he was more aware of his daughter’s aptitude than anybody else, he pushed her to work alone.
He said he will always be there for his daughter as she needs constant care and help.
However, he wishes that one day she would be able to take care of herself and be an independent woman.
“If I am no longer here, I hope she will find a husband who can take care of her. If she can earn an income, own a house, I’ll be relieved,” he said as reported by Sinar Harian.
Nadzri also stated that he has asked his other children to keep an eye on Eerah when he is no longer around.
Nevertheless, Eerah is the embodiment of hard work and she is an inspiration to many.
