Nasi lemak, Malaysia’s favorite meal, is usually served with ikan bilis, but one netizen’s plate came with a surprising twist this time!
An influencer, who goes by the name Angkol on Facebook, recently shared an unusual experience with his nasi lemak purchase that has left the internet in stitches.
Nasi lemak with…seahorse?
According to his Facebook post, what started as a typical breakfast turned into a shocking discovery when he found a deep-fried seahorse among the usual fried anchovies.
In the photo, the seahorse does bear a striking resemblance to ikan bilis, but its distinctive features, such as the straw-like snout and curled tail, clearly revealed its true identity.
I was shocked during breakfast this morning, it’s my first time having ‘nasi lemak unicorn’,” he wrote.
Netizens’ reaction
The post, which quickly gained traction on social media, sparked a wave of laughter and curiosity among netizens.
“Aiyaaaa Joe… why is it brave enough to disguise itself as ikan bilis…hahahah.”
“We use premium ingredients.”
“I thought it was a lizard just now.”
