Dapur identity is a verified kitchen designation on QIUBBX. Dapur Melayu is one public example: it tells buyers that authorised QIUBBX Admin or QBA reviewers have verified a kitchen identity. It does not describe every dish on the menu.
What Dapur identity is
- A voluntary seller application for one primary kitchen identity at a time
- Public only after Admin or QBA review sets the status to verified
- Shown to buyers as a kitchen badge such as Dapur Melayu — not as a dish style label
- Supported identities include Malay, Chinese, Indian, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Indonesian, Middle Eastern, Italian, Western, Mexican, and Vietnamese
What it is not
- Not a claim that every menu item is Malay cuisine (or any other single cuisine)
- Not an ethnicity inference from a name, MyKad, SSM record, address, or uploaded file
- Not automatic after seller registration
- Not a Halal guarantee — Halal is shown only from its own verified source
How verification works
- Seller chooses to apply and pays RM10
The kitchen owner or authorised director may apply voluntarily, accepts the current declaration, and pays the optional-to-apply RM10 annual recognition fee. Selling on QIUBBX never requires this badge.
- Ownership evidence
QIUBBX uses existing owner or company evidence already on the seller profile (for example MyKad or business registration) to confirm the applicant may represent that kitchen.
- Admin or QBA decision
After Curlec confirms payment, an authorised reviewer approves, rejects, or later revokes the identity. The RM10 fee is non-refundable. Adam may check format, completeness, and audit routing only — Adam does not award the public badge.
- Public badge
Buyers see the identity only while it is verified and the one-year recognition term is current. Renewal is payment-only; application notes, documents, and reviewer details never appear in the buyer catalogue.
Status lifecycle
- None — no current application
- Pending — submitted, not buyer-visible
- Verified — public badge may appear
- Rejected — not buyer-visible; seller receives a reason
- Revoked — badge removed after a documented review
Seller responsibilities
- Keep owner or company evidence current on the seller profile before applying
- Tag each dish with honest menu cuisine styles — identity is not a substitute for product tags
- Do not treat a Dapur badge as Halal, hygiene, or operational status
- A change of primary identity requires a new approved review

Can a verified Dapur Melayu kitchen sell Korean or Japanese dishes?
Yes. Identity describes the verified kitchen designation. Each product still uses its own menu cuisine tags.
Does Dapur Melayu mean the food is Halal?
No. Halal has its own verification. See the Halal compliance guide.
Can QIUBBX infer Malay identity from MyKad?
No. Documents establish ownership or authority only. QIUBBX must not infer ethnicity, heritage, or eligibility from a name, MyKad, SSM record, address, or uploaded document.
Is there an extra fee to apply?
Dapur Identity is optional. If you choose to apply, the recognition fee is RM10 for one year and is paid before review. You may keep selling without a badge. The fee is non-refundable if the request is rejected or revoked.
