If you ever placed a food order using food delivery applications, you’ll notice a text area for customers to make a ‘special request’ to the sellers.
Usually, people often ask for more sauce or gravy, extra rice, less spicy, no vegetables and so on… and the requests are usually brief to make it easier for the seller to read.

Recently, a TikTok video went viral showing a nasi kandar seller receiving a special request from one of his customers.
In the video, the seller can be seen printing out the order paper which was unusually long.
It was believed that the customer placed an order for three packers of nasi kandar, however, the customer’s “special request” was as long as an essay!
The customer also ended his special request saying that if they don’t get his order right, he will merajuk and will not buy from the seller again. Alamak!
A woman who was recording the video can be heard saying that the order was a bit confusing as the customer ordered lamb nasi kandar, but requested for chicken breast, but she just laughed it off.
The video has since gone viral on TikTok and garnered over 477 thousand views, 45 thousand likes and 1356 comments at the time of writing.
One person commented: “Might as well give him the recipe for him to cook,” while another person said: “The customer really wants to make sure that the food suits his taste.”
In a follow up video, the next day, the seller was seen holding the long piece of paper waiting for the customer to repeat their order, but was disappointed that the order never came in.
He is amazing for being so patient! We’re glad that the “special request” did not stress him out!
