Nasi lemak, a staple in Malaysia, is cherished by everyone, whether you’re grabbing a cheap packet from a roadside stall or indulging in a pricier version at a trendy café.
This iconic dish is known for its versatility, served with various side dishes that cater to all taste buds.
Just a regular chicken patty
In a TikTok video that has since gone viral, a customer @senpaifa_ shared her dismay after ordering nasi lemak with chicken tempura, only to find that the “chicken tempura” was nothing more than a basic chicken patty.
The situation left her feeling deceived, especially considering she paid RM13.90 for the meal.

Netizens were quick to poke fun at the situation, with one user commenting, “The chicken tempura ran out, so they had to make the chicken burger pretend to be tempura,” while another chimed in, calling it “chicken pura-pura,” a playful jab at the patty’s less-than-authentic tempura disguise.
