MISSING the taste of authentic Malaysian food, a group of students recently recreated the iconic chap fan experience in their UK dorm!

A video posted on Xiaohongshu by user 冰美式脑袋 shows them whipping up nine delicious dishes and having fun dishing them out cafeteria-style.

The hilarious caption reads: “You gotta line up, grab rice, choose your dishes, then let auntie calculate the price! Bonus discount for handsome boys and pretty girls!”

One friend even plays the role of the quintessential chap fan aunty, playfully negotiating the “price” of another’s plate.

Malaysians are loving the video, praising their culinary skills and the use of those classic red chap fan plates.

Comments range from “Looks delicious, open a shop!” to “Did you bring those plates all the way from Malaysia?”

This heartwarming video brings a smile to anyone who’s ever missed a taste of home.

It’s a delightful reminder of the resourcefulness and joy of recreating cherished traditions, no matter where you are in the world.
