Considering the amount of stress a Malaysian woman is enduring in her daily life, she decided to numb her mental suffering by indulging in a ridiculously spicy meal. Never did she expect that her request for a spicy meal would come with a sweet note from the food vendor she ordered from.
The Penang Kini Facebook page recently showcased how a Malaysian woman had made a lengthy request to a food vendor as she ordered a meal through a delivery application, only for the vendor to send her her food along with a note of encouragement.
The Facebook caption reads, “Vendors like this are the best. There was a customer who requested that the cook make her fried rice extra spicy because she was stressed. So, to prevent her from harming herself, she decided to eat spicy food. But, what was most touching was the response from the vendor, who is caring and gave her advice.”
The customer’s request:
“Can you please make (the fried rice) insanely spicy? I am very stressed. My slippers were destroyed by a dog, the gas in my house ran out, my exams are tough, and my boyfriend is behaving like I don’t exist. I don’t want to hurt myself, so I’ve decided to eat spicy food instead. Thank you so much, should you be able to make my food insanely spicy. I’m sorry for the inconvenience.”
The vendor’s response:
“Sweetie, stay strong, okay! The dog was not at fault; perhaps the slippers were already going to break. As for your boyfriend, in truth, maybe he’s just a useless man. There is a handsome “green flag” boyfriend waiting for you. Enjoy your insanely spicy fried rice, okay? Hugs!”
The vendor ended the note by asking for a good rating so that they, too, won’t feel stressed out.
Malaysians share the love
Malaysians took to the post to share their belief that kind words can help when chaos is in the air.
“Sometimes, even a small note like this is what saves other people from their broken emotions. May both parties be given security and protection in divine grace.”
“People lately are easily stressed. A few words of encouragement may help ease a soul that’s in a state of chaos. You never know when our words can help save a soul.”
