We have measured the Google Trends of three products which are Bahulu, Rempeyek and Kuih kapit, in Malaysia within the last 12 months. Based on the trend graph above,  bahulu is found to have more interest than rempeyek and kuih kapit throughout the timeline. However, rempeyek shows a drastic raise in interest from March 31st to April 6th 2024 as it is the period nearing the Hari Raya Aidilfitri festival. This shows that rempeyek is highly in demand during this festival and many people search for it online. People would buy rempeyek and serve them to guest during open houses. On the other hand, bahulu shows consistency in its interest throughout the timeline meaning it is always in demand no matter the occasion. Its highest interest is shown during the 7th to the 13th of April 2024.
