Malaysians are known for their deep love of nasi lemak, a beloved local dish…
However, one Twitter user, @matden17, recently found himself in an egg-citing culinary conundrum that has left Malaysians scratching their heads and laughing out loud.

In a video that's now gone viral, he shared his disbelief at the impossibly thin and minuscule piece of omelette that came with his nasi lemak breakfast. For those who don't know, nasi lemak is a traditional Malaysian dish, and the egg component is an integral part of its deliciousness.
With a touch of humour, he cheekily quipped, "This nasi lemak egg is thinner than my faith." The sentiment quickly resonated with many who hold this dish close to their hearts.
As of the moment, his video and photos have garnered over one million views, sparking an avalanche of humorous responses from fellow Malaysians who appreciate the importance of a well-rounded nasi lemak.
The thin omelette, besides being a source of amusement, also drew attention to economic challenges and cost-cutting measures that vendors might employ.
Playful comments included: "That's a 40gsm piece of egg they gave," humorously comparing the egg to tracing paper.
"It's thinner than a SIM card!"
One user even playfully suggested, "It's a blanket for the anchovies," highlighting the adaptability of this particularly delicate omelette.
So, while Malaysians may have chuckled at this feather-light egg experience, it's clear that nasi lemak aficionados hold their eggs dear, and the quest for the perfect slice continues.
What are your thoughts on this?
