On June 16, the 40-year-old chef announced that she would be doing her cooking trial in Tudor, Mombasa, and it will last for 55 hours and in that time, she will prepare 100 recipes.

Taking to her Instagram page on Tuesday, August 15, Maliha proudly unveiled her momentous achievement through a distinctively designed flyer that boldly states, “NEW WORLD RECORD.”

In the post, the mother of two expressed her gratitude: “Yes, we did it! New world record holder for the longest home kitchen cooking marathon in town Shukran for the support.”

Videos circulating online depict the joyous scenes of Maliha’s supporters erupting in cheers and applause, forming a jubilant circle around her as she switched off the gas burner.
