Wherever we are, whatever we do, we’ll be missing Malaysian food like crazy. As delicious as other food may be, our taste buds will ALWAYS yearn for home-cooked food.
A group of Malaysian students in the United Kingdom decided to bring a priceless Malaysian experience to their dormitory by creating a “mixed rice experience”. In a viral Xiao Hong Shu (RED) by @冰美式脑袋, the Malaysian students were seen picking their dishes that were nicely arranged on the table.
The dishes consisted of chicken, tofu, clams, prawns, and if you pay attention to the details, they even used red plates for their meals, very much like those you see in the mixed rice shops in Malaysia.
They mimicked the experience without leaving any details – from scooping the rice to picking the dishes, and even communicating with the ‘cashier’ in BM and Mandarin.
We guess they miss home.
“Malaysians bring mixed rice to UK. As Malaysian students studying in UK, this is what we do when we miss the food.”
In another video, the students were also seen making another iconic Malaysian dish – Pan Mee. And they made it from scratch – rolling and cutting the dough, boiling the noodles, and dipping them in soy sauce.
Who needs other food when we can have homemade Malaysian food anywhere?
Speaking to WORLD OF BUZZ, Keyee said that the cooking part is always carried out by the men in her group, and she has never cooked at all, so far. According to her, it was not the men’s 1st rodeo in the kitchen and they had prepared a lot of Malaysian food in UK before.
“Before this, they had made Nasi Lemak, Wanton Noodles, and even Curry Noodles!”
Keyee also told WORLD OF BUZZ that she is currently in her 2nd year in the UK, and will be moving into the 3rd year this September.
“My friends and I are all in different years, so it really depends as to when we’ll finish our studies here.”
Well, the men are not afraid of the heat, and can cook up a storm to feed their tummies!
To those studying or working abroad, do you cook your meal, or recreate the Malaysian dishes in your way?
