Garden Western Grill, a restaurant situated in Taman Universiti, Petaling Jaya, has found itself at the centre of heated controversy since May 16th. The owner, nicknamed Tom, initially caused a stir on social media when he cryptically hinted at adding a &lsquo;special ingredient&rsquo; to an influencer's meal, later admitting it was part of a strategic marketing plan aimed at expanding his business.

The controversy erupted following a scathing review video uploaded on May 14th by a popular TikToker named <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@syafiqrx90?is_from_webapp=1&amp;sender_device=pc">Shafiq</a>, who criticized the quality of the Western cuisine offered at Garden Western Grill in PJ.
Throughout the clip, he had little words of praise for the restaurant, where he called its supposedly &lsquo;popular&rsquo; dishes &ldquo;bland&rdquo;, &ldquo;overcooked&rdquo;, and &ldquo;overpriced&rdquo;.&nbsp;

Eager to prove his culinary prowess, the owner boldly posted a photo of another well-known influencer's TikTok account, <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@scaredtodie?is_from_webapp=1&amp;sender_device=pc">Jason</a> on Facebook, seemingly challenging the content creator to experience his remarkable food firsthand.

When will this influencer visit (the owner) Tom&rsquo;s eatery (a restaurant serving Western cuisine)? One person has already experienced the &lsquo;special ingredient&rsquo; in the food. Only hotel staff know what Tom means by &lsquo;special ingredients&rsquo;.

The Facebook post quickly went viral after the influencer, who previously made a negative review about Tom's restaurant, commented about his cryptic "special ingredient" message in another Tik Tok video of his.

The one-minute video gained more than 640,000 views on TikTok at the time of writing this.
"(He put) special ingredients in our meals, huh? I let the netizens interpret this. And be aware that the owner can do this to you too, if you p-ss him off," said the influencer, showing a comment of Tom saying that some customers are not spared from the "special ingredient" in their food.
The issue gained even more traction on Twitter, with the Ministry of Health (MOH) saying that it has taken notice of the issue and will act accordingly.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-theme="dark">
KKM mengambil maklum dan akan menyusul dengan sewajarnya. <a href="https://t.co/vT9IUaEYuc">https://t.co/vT9IUaEYuc</a>
&mdash; KKMalaysia🇲🇾😷 (@KKMPutrajaya) <a href="https://twitter.com/KKMPutrajaya/status/1659082936153407490?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 18, 2023</a></blockquote>

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Right after the Ministry of Health's statement, Tom openly admitted that the entire narrative he had concocted about a "special ingredient" was nothing more than a "marketing strategy."
"The (issue that made my shop) viral was actually a marketing strategy to make Jason (the content creator) come to my shop."
He further clarified, "The so-called special ingredient is, in fact, a high-quality ingredient. However, Malaysians tend to perceive things negatively."
When pressed for specifics regarding the ingredient, Tom described it as "a carefully selected element that enhances the culinary experience and enriches the flavour of the food."
In a previous interview with a news outlet, Tom had mentioned that the "special ingredient" consisted of "premium ingredients," including butter, wagyu fat, and truffle oil. Despite the ongoing controversy, Tom acknowledged that his business did experience some setbacks. Nevertheless, he also noted an influx of new customers following the internet frenzy.
"We have more new customers although the impact is from bad marketing," he admitted, adding that he has been running the restaurant for over 10 years and has loyal regular customers.
He said MOH will come to visit his restaurant, but he is not afraid as his establishment is clean and all staff members have been vaccinated against typhoid fever.
Well, Challenge Accepted.&nbsp;
Jason, the influencer who had been called out to try the meals from this restaurant, finally succumbed to Tom's provocation and decided to give it a try. In his recent TikTok video, he expressed two primary reasons for his visit: to justify the quality of the food and to see if there is any sort of &lsquo;special ingredient&rsquo; in the meals.
To ensure his anonymity, Jason disguised himself in a low-key and subtle manner, hoping to go unnoticed by the restaurant staff, or anyone else for that matter.
In his concise four-minute TikTok video, Jason's review and comments echoed those of the previous food influencer, Shafiq. Ultimately, Jason concluded that the food was somewhat below average, especially considering its price. However, he did find the lamb tender and the portion size satisfactory, though the overall flavour fell flat. Notably, he couldn't move past the taste of the soapy and bubbly tartar sauce accompanying the prawn chips.
Jason didn't stop there. He also addressed the drama surrounding his visit, admitting that he had no issue with the parody video that had amused him. However, it was the public post referencing the "special ingredient" that had truly triggered him.
In his video, Jason said &lsquo;We both know what a special ingredient really is and then say that it's a marketing gimmick for views. Ok la, you get the views, but at the cost of people like me having this fear ordering from you.&rdquo;&nbsp;

Tom's Comment in his<a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=619132233583174&amp;set=a.547033454126386"> FB post</a> After Jason Visited His Restaurant:&nbsp;
&ldquo;Thanks bro for coming to Tom's shop just now and don't worry food is safe to eat. What's funny is that you even asked my staff when serving your food... is there a special ingredient?&rdquo;&nbsp;
&ldquo;Actually we people do not care if you review my food, good or bad, because Tom has been in business for a long time. So it's no problem even if it's bad reviews because we already have constant sales. As for all this drama regarding special ingredients is just a marketing strategy which I know will boom&rdquo;
&ldquo;As for Shafiq, good for you your content is viral. And I hope Jason's content for my shop will also be viral. Don't worry, all our food is safe to eat, it's all just a prank.&rdquo;&nbsp;
In conclusion, it is important that restaurant owners refrain from attempting to generate viral media or engage in any similar tactics aimed at enticing people to try their food under the guise of a "marketing strategy." Let's face it, such strategies may yield short-term attention, but they are bound to backfire when other influencers inevitably call out the restaurant and critique its offerings publicly.
Instead, it is advisable for restaurant owners to focus on delivering high-quality and delicious food consistently, accompanied by genuine customer experiences. &nbsp;

Controversial Malaysian Restaurant Claims "Special Ingredients" Were Just A Clever Marketing Strategy 

Have you ever been interested in gaming but you could never do so cause you&rsquo;re using an Apple device?
The Mac has always been an amazing device, especially now that it has the current version of it comes with its new M2 Max chip which has 12-CPU Cores and 30-GPU cores. But despite all that power, the downside of Apple devices is that they can never run games smoothly or even run any game at all.
<img src="https://media.tenor.com/lnHy5A_HnVMAAAAC/pc-master-race-gaming.gif" /> People with a custom gaming rig or windows pc be like...
But it looks like things will be changing in the Apple scene thanks to the latest announcement at this year&rsquo;s WWDC.
Apple To Finally Take Gaming Seriously
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/5861a13c2c627edee42b7db4be6b0f48363c7a6ddad0beb44699abcc29d7f0cc" />
This year, we saw some pretty impressive announcements coming from the event with Apple&rsquo;s RM16,000 Vision Pro stealing the spotlight.
Read: <a href="https://myc.my/articles/2533/apple-introduces-their-rm16000-vision-pro-vr-headset">Apple Introduces Their RM16,000 Vision Pro VR Headset!</a>
Aside from that, many were eyeing the new 15-inch MacBook Air and the latest M2 processor. But among the announcements, the one that stood out from the crowd was when Apple announced a new Gaming Porting Toolkit that could hopefully be able to port Windows games over to Mac easier and quicker.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/b519174365113d0172ca9569eae039db6e9c10377074b53f3ab361a12b045ccf" />
The new Gaming Porting Toolkit is similar to what Valve has done with Proton and the Steam Deck. The toolkit will be powered by source code from Crossover which is a wine-based solution for running Windows games on macOS.
&ldquo;The new Game Porting Toolkit provides an emulation environment to run your existing unmodified Windows game and you can use it to quickly understand the graphics feature usage and performance potential of your game when running on a Mac,&rdquo; said the engineering project manager for GPUs and graphics Aiswariya Sreenivassan.
Pretty Impressive Tool For The Future Of Gaming On Mac OS
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://r2.myc.my/6cf8eeb54bc9933cfdfabc5960953350c35d65efb7bb7520f5c900e04f1919ff" />
If you thought porting over Windows games to a Mac was impressive, what&rsquo;s more impressive is the fact that the toolkit will support DirectX 12 games as it supports their Direct X12 API. The toolkit aims to transform the Windows API calls into its proprietary Metal API while also adapting the x86 instructions for compatibility with Apple Silicon.
Additionally, it will handle the translation of essential APIs for input control, audio, and other functions specific to MacOS. This development presents an opportunity to assess the gaming capabilities of Apple's GPU and evaluate its performance. While Apple frequently touts impressive performance metrics, the lack of supported titles has made it challenging to gauge its standing compared to conventional PC hardware.
Addressing Smoothness Issues
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/21c67ba6756d56de797ffe3c811ceeff489071f9e08faca7bee68b6264ebffb6" />
Now, with something revolutionary comes a set of issues and one of those being how games will run in this environment. One of the biggest concerns that will arise would be optimization as there are bound to be bugs and issues as each developer will need to come up with their own ports.&nbsp;
So far, Reddit users have already managed to try their hands at porting games over as one user had managed to run Cyberpunk 2077 on a M1 MacBook Pro at 15fps. Sounds like the time the game came out and even had Windows stability issues hahaha.
<blockquote class="reddit-embed-bq" style="height: 500px;" data-embed-height="500"><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/macgaming/comments/142vjdz/i_got_cyberpunk_2077_running_on_an_m1_macbook/">I got Cyberpunk 2077 running on an M1 MacBook!</a> by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/isaa6">u/isaa6</a> in <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/macgaming/">macgaming</a></blockquote>

<script async="" src="https://embed.reddit.com/widgets.js" charset="UTF-8"></script>

Another user meanwhile got Harry Potter&rsquo;s Hogwarts Legacy to run with an M2 Max MacBook at a stable 30-40+ FPS.
<blockquote class="reddit-embed-bq" style="height: 500px;" data-embed-height="500"><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/macgaming/comments/14342uz/hogwarts_legacy_on_m2_max/">Hogwarts Legacy on M2 Max</a> by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/just_reload_it">u/just_reload_it</a> in <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/macgaming/">macgaming</a></blockquote>

Porting Windows games to Mac has historically been a challenging process for developers, involving recompiling source code, converting shaders, re-implementing graphics subsystems, and adapting audio, input, and HDR rendering. However, Apple now offers tools that simplify this process. Developers can assess the required porting work and optimize their games on macOS using Apple's tool, along with the Metal Shader Converter that automatically converts GPU shaders to Metal. These tools greatly reduce the time and effort needed to successfully port games from Windows to Mac.
If Apple keeps this up, we can soon bridge the gap between Windows and Mac users who love gaming. Yeah, the dream is distant but with what was shown this week, that dream can potentially be a reality.
Pro-tip, if the dream does become reality, it's best for Mac users to pair their MacBooks to an external monitor with a higher refresh rate. Though the M1 and M2 Macbook Pro do come with ProMotion adaptive refresh rate that hits 120hz, it would still be a safer idea for you to run games on the external monitor to prevent screen tearing. 
<img src="https://static.c.realme.com/IN/thread/1344562635646959616.gif" /> Here&rsquo;s an example of low vs high refresh rate monitors.

But do expect some stability issues as it’s still being refined.

Enchanteur & Dashing University Tour! It’s Time To Stay Wangi, Stay Ranggi

Looks like controversial comedian Jocelyn Chia is back online as she&rsquo;s gained access to her Instagram account again.
Yesterday, we stated that her social media pages have been blacked out as it was rumoured that she had been banned from them. While she wasn&rsquo;t online, many including Harith Iskander and the wife of one of the victims on board have voiced out their opinions about her comedic act of insulting the MH370 tragedy. Even the Singapore High Commissioner To Malaysia issued an apology on social media due to her insensitive joke.

Dismisses Suspension For Being &ldquo;Cancelled&rdquo;
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/f120fa5aceca3a52d46b31530016c5a48a4fa6b794f2628f6d0e83bc612cc005" />
The first thing Chia did when she got her account back was to post up an Instagram story as she addressed the rumours of her account being blacked out. &ldquo;Rumour had it that I either deleted my Instagram or that I got &lsquo;cancelled&rsquo; by Instagram. My account actually got suspended for &lsquo;impersonating&rsquo; a celebrity.&rdquo;
&ldquo;I was like, &lsquo;who is the celebrity? Answer: Jocelyn Chia,&rdquo; while adding Famous by Kanye West for her story audio of choice (another cancelled celebrity).
Thanks The Community For Their Support Towards Her
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/539b8c3cf4e719f4fbe99f5d4600949e0a8e0c948a8ba1bdeacffea49ce7d3eb" />
Aside from addressing the rumours on her social media, Chia also took the opportunity to thank the comedy community who supported her despite the backlash she was facing. One of them was Malaysian comedian Jason Leong who was also bashed by other Malaysians after he showed support for her act.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/fde499788bde41a71eea8de779e018f46e0de7de102d2a9b44641b045fd7c6db" />
Following the story, she took a hit at her &ldquo;exes&rdquo; which many presume to be angry Malaysians and joked by using Taylor Swift&rsquo;s &lsquo;We Are Never Getting Back Together&rsquo; as her song choice. To put an end to her post, she also thanked the non-binary comedians and joked that she would &ldquo;really get cancelled&rdquo; if she hasn&rsquo;t done so.
No Public Apology In Sight
After all the hate posts of her online, Chia has yet to post a public apology as the former Singaporean does not look like she has any remorse. Since then, Singapore&rsquo;s Minister for Foreign Affairs Vivian Balakrishnan has also issued an apology after replying to Syed Saddiq on Twitter.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
I am appalled by her horrendous statements. She certainly does not speak for Singaporeans. We treasure our ties with family and friends in Malaysia, and are sorry for the offence and hurt caused to all Malaysians.
&mdash; Vivian Balakrishnan (@VivianBala) <a href="https://twitter.com/VivianBala/status/1666487826022817792?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 7, 2023</a></blockquote>

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

A reminder to everyone that there&rsquo;s always a limit when it comes to jokes and we should respect all the boundaries set so we wouldn&rsquo;t offend anyone and a whole country who went through a disaster. 
Do you think that society will start cancelling out Chia or maybe karma will bite her back soon enough? Let us know in the comments.

Rather than her apologising, officials from Singapore had to do so instead.

Jocelyn Chia Is Back On IG, Denies Being “Cancelled” And Has Yet To Apologise For Her Joke

Having a family go missing is one of the most concerning things anyone could ever face. But the worse part of it all is knowing that they are still alive but forced to work as piglets (someone of low financial and social status into indentured servitude).
Recently, 22-year-old beautician Angie Chong Sum Yee went on a trip to Chiang Mai, Thailand alone and had since gone missing.
Read: <a href="https://myc.my/articles/2535/family-seeks-aid-as-22yo-daughter-goes-missing-in-thailand">Family Seeks Aid As 22yo Daughter Goes Missing In Thailand</a>

The last time her family had heard from her was on 1 June when she sent photos of her travelling towards the northernmost district Mae Sai in the Chang Rai province which has a history of human trafficking cases in the past.
After her mother had put up a post on Facebook to get assistance from the public, the Malaysian embassy in Thailand has been working closely with authorities to locate her. She was last seen leaving a location on a motorcycle with a woman dressed in white.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/04eaf4c9a92bae1615dbeda0c5d35bea5e6174c00f7cc5af91dc508f20a4c702" />
Video Of Angie Suddenly Appears On Facebook
In the days she was missing, her WeChat status had been updated stating she is safe and her location had also changed. This time, three suspicious videos of her were uploaded on Facebook by a new Facebook account that went by the name &ldquo;Moe Aye&rdquo;.
Now, here&rsquo;s the suspicious part, of the three videos uploaded, two of them were taken by a camera that filmed a phone playing a video of Angie.
As the videos are being reposted and shared everywhere, many netizens pointed out that Angie looks rather unnatural in the video as if she was forced to film it.
<video style="width: 650px; height: 325px;" controls="controls" width="650" height="325">
<source src="https://r2.myc.my/6f7804c3cee4de24a6a97ff974a2a7b875c17200768c8c7f332256b373c864d6" /></video>
In the 34-second video, she said: &ldquo;Hello, hello. Actually, I am fine. I am very safe and healthy. I didn&rsquo;t get assaulted. So, my friends, family, and netizen, those who I don&rsquo;t know, please don&rsquo;t worry about me. I am very healthy.&rdquo;
<iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?height=476&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2F100091509889399%2Fvideos%2F593627862577111%2F&amp;show_text=false&amp;width=214&amp;t=0" width="214" height="476" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
In another 22-second video, it's seen that she was working at an undisclosed location.
&ldquo;I am working here now and I am safe. Please don&rsquo;t worry about me. I am extremely safe here. So police, please don&rsquo;t trouble the rider who gave me a ride. They don&rsquo;t know anything.&rdquo;
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/0eeed938e706b5c2a01590ffb89d006c6a796b9e2562fbd7e4c39377899e2b83" />
What was even more suspicious was that Angie&rsquo;s Instagram account has also posted &ldquo;updates&rdquo; stating that she is okay and has contacted her family. She also stated that all the videos seen on Facebook and websites about her were real.
No Rest Till She&rsquo;s Back Safely
Despite all the circulating videos, Angie&rsquo;s mother Chee Choy Wen said on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/choywon0914/posts/pfbid0uQ9uwTWiLwGgvGwHUZ3AcfhcbnvXnG15iUMJMSKf7rXSXD1hdX2TqwLjFsvMahBCl">Facebook</a> that she will get to the bottom of this and told the members of the public not to trust the videos posted online as she has not seen her in person nor heard from her yet.
Hopefully, authorities will be able to track her down soon enough. A reminder that human trafficking is not a joke and despite all efforts, it&rsquo;s still difficult for authorities to locate the hundreds if not thousands of others who have also gone missing over the years.
If you&rsquo;re looking for a job, do seek caution when enquiring online especially if its offer is too good to be true.

Missing Malaysian Woman In Thailand Breaks Silence Online Stating She’s “Safe” 

In Malaysia, amidst the various aspects of healthcare available, there is one crucial aspect that often goes overlooked by many Malaysians: Dental Care.
Dental care encompasses oral hygiene practices that involve taking care of our teeth. Neglecting proper dental care can lead to a multitude of issues, including cavities, gum diseases, and the universally undesirable problem of bad breath.
<img src="https://media.tenor.com/Iue51AfpKx0AAAAM/bad-breath.gif" />
Unfortunately, dental care is rather expensive in Malaysia as sometimes a typical cavity filling costs between RM100-RM150 and scaling between RM150-RM200. Perhaps this is the reason why many Malaysians don&rsquo;t take their dental care seriously, but what if we told you that you can actually get it for cheap?
Scaling For Only RM3!
No, you&rsquo;re not reading this wrongly as dental care can actually be very affordable in Malaysia! Recently, Twitter user Alena <a href="https://twitter.com/alenawhz/status/1666273906184056833">@alenawhz</a> shared that dental care in Malaysia is in fact reasonable as she scheduled a dental appointment for a total of RM3. All you need to do is to make an appointment via the MySejahtera app!
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Scaling for RM3: Here's how I got it done in 30 minutes using the MySejahtera app! <a href="https://twitter.com/KKMPutrajaya?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@KKMPutrajaya</a> This is a 🧵✨ <a href="https://t.co/lrfgo0K1vb">pic.twitter.com/lrfgo0K1vb</a>

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Before we get into how you can do this, a reminder that the MySejahtera App is now an app used by the Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia as a universal healthcare app where Malaysians can track their health records from health reports, lab test reports and even vaccinations.&nbsp;
How To Make A Booking?
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/7f3bee0fc7adbce7612ff72bfebafa18245e48e9ab538336ad8f6627b0d25acf" />
When you open up MySejahtera, you&rsquo;ll see a set of options and you can make an appointment by tapping the appointment icon. From there, scroll down and tap on the dental check-up. Following that, you&rsquo;ll need to input your postcode and the app will list the available appointments and the nearest dates.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-conversation="none">
Once you've gotten your appointment, make sure to arrive 30 minutes before your appt time! I got to mine at 9.00am sharp. I headed to the counter to check in (using MySejahtera), got my queue number, paid RM1, got my BP checked and waited for my turn. <a href="https://t.co/vubqseLmvA">pic.twitter.com/vubqseLmvA</a>
&mdash; Alena (@alenawhz) <a href="https://twitter.com/alenawhz/status/1666273949678981120?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 7, 2023</a></blockquote>

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

If you&rsquo;re looking to get a specific time slot, Alena says that the best time to book appointments is at 12am or early morning as it seems that they refresh their appointment times during those hours. After securing your appointment, it&rsquo;s also best for you to show up 30 minutes earlier as you&rsquo;ll be prompted to check in using MySejahtera, obtain your queue number and get your blood pressure checked for only RM1.
After about 15 minutes, Alena was called to meet the dentist. She had a talk with her doctor addressing her concerns and stating which treatment she would like to get. She opted to have a general check-up and scaling. The highlight of the treatment was that it was all done within 10 minutes and she was in and out of the clinic within 30 minutes.
One thing she noted is that the doctor said she was lucky as there weren&rsquo;t a lot of patients that morning and the waiting and treatment time could have taken longer if there were a lot of people at the clinic that day.
Netizens Amazed At MySejahtera&rsquo;s Service
As the tweet gained over 8.2K Retweets and 8.9K likes on Twitter, many netizens had thanked Alena for sharing her experience and it looks like many netizens have also wanted to get their appointment booked for their check-up.
Here&rsquo;s some of the comments:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-conversation="none">
Thanks Alena. Last time i went to KK they said no more appointments.. can walk in only. But those who working a bit difficult to go without appointments so this the best solution 👍

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
In my understanding, you can get braces done if the dentist at klinik pergigian deems that you need it. There might be a long queue up to years! But it's always a fraction of the price when compared to private clinics

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Hiiii! It was my first time as well and honestly, it was not that painful. When at the gum area, it was more annoying but when it reached several teeth that are sensitive, it hurts quite a bit. But overall, it's not toooo bad for me!

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Some netizens commented that most clinics do not update the schedule and some clinics will prompt you to physically walk in for an appointment. Others also commented that if you can&rsquo;t find an appointment after imputing a postcode, you can also try searching by city name or state.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-conversation="none">

Now that&rsquo;s pretty efficient and cost-effective! Despite what people say about our government, you have to give it to them for doing their best to provide affordable dental care to the public. 
PSA, before proceeding to go for any dental care, do remember that there have been issues of fake dentists who offer cheap and potentially harmful dental services.

Dental Care Too Expensive? Get Your Teeth Scaled For Only RM3 Via MySejahtera!

We all know Malaysia as a land blessed with good food. No matter if you&rsquo;re up north, south, east or west in peninsular Malaysia or all the way in Sabah or Sarawak you&rsquo;re bound to find good food or even hidden gems across the country.
But there&rsquo;s been a debate on what food can be considered as our national dish since we have too many.
Debate If Bak Kuh Teh Should Be A Heritage Food
Jimmy Puah Wee Tse who is a member of parliament representing Teberau recently questioned the government&rsquo;s efforts in defending Malaysian traditional dishes such as Bak Kut Teh after a documentary on Channel News Asia claimed that the dish could have originated in Singapore.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/504e187ff7638fbb962a87c1dcf766495690952491f10524c361280c3a2e2ec7" />
In case you don&rsquo;t know what is this dish, it&rsquo;s a popular pork rib soup that is cooked with herbs and spices. It&rsquo;s a very popular dish among the Hokkien community in Southeast Asia and a very popular dish for those who live in Klang, Selangor.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
2. Khairul explained that foods can only be considered a heritage dish if they can be consumed by all races in Malaysia. Earlier, Tebrau MP Jimmy Puah urged the government to recognise the dish as a national heritage food <a href="https://t.co/8mfJ8s2xJg">pic.twitter.com/8mfJ8s2xJg</a>
&mdash; BFM News (@NewsBFM) <a href="https://twitter.com/NewsBFM/status/1666340534078824449?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 7, 2023</a></blockquote>

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Puah debated that the dish had originated from Klang, Selangor but said the documentary gave the impression that it originated from Singapore when addressing the Dewan Rakyat.
Other MPs Respond With Facts Of Top Traditional Food In Malaysia
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/6ca880c73a8e7880581558757755caad2e13e727e7c3e4d7f31e42bb81a6f7cf" />
In response to Puah, Datuk Suhaimi Mohd Abdullah questioned the Dewan Rakyat since when was Bak Kuh Teh was considered a traditional dish.
"It is not listed as one of Malaysia's 10 most popular traditional foods, nor is it listed as one of the 30 traditional foods of various ethnicities in Malaysia," he added.
Such foods in our list of traditional dishes are like nasi lemak, kuih bahulu, gula melaka, ketupat, char kuey teow, sizzling yee mee, bubur nasi, tong yuan, kuih bulan, kuih bakul, muruku, tosai, idly, and putu mayam.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/2924fc49d21741c5ade72963871a39ee7d29075025eb08e05b9559c610d8f361" />
Deputy Minister Khairul Firdaus Akbar Khan contested that Malaysia does not have the right to dispute the shared heritages that Malaysia and Singapore. However, he is not against the fact that it could be added to the list of our heritage foods.
Khairul Firdaus says that if the meat in Bak Kuh Teh can be substituted with chicken (Chi Kuh The), then there shouldn&rsquo;t be a problem as both he and Suhaimi agreed that one of the key criteria of a dish to be considered as a traditional food is so all races in the country would be able to savour it.
Netizens Share Their Thoughts On The Parliament Debate
As food is certainly something every Malaysian would swear by, they also believe that the Dewan Rakyat should have better things to discuss as there are more pressing issues going on. Some even supported and questioned if it would be wrong to add food of other Malaysian races to the ever-growing list of our country&rsquo;s heritage food.
Here&rsquo;s some of the comments:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-conversation="none">

Following the lively debate in the Dewan Rakyat, it has become evident that there exist certain discrepancies in our nation's culinary heritage. However, we can find solace in the fact that the discussion did not escalate into a heated dispute within the chamber. 
What is your stance on the importance of safeguarding Malaysia's food heritage, and do you believe our government should undertake greater efforts in this regard?

Unwind With 1664 At Sentul Depot For The Third Edition Of Bon Appétit-lah!

If you were to ask anyone in the world to give a review on food, we can all agree that Malaysians do it better and at times we seriously can&rsquo;t ask websites such as Taste Atlas to provide an accurate food rating, especially when it comes to Southeast Asian Food.

Recently, we&rsquo;ve been seeing a lot of food go viral online coming from Malaysians. From their delicious dishes and even their unique ways of advertising them.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/69d4f06c4cb0ec853ffb6ad06e5938df1943f6586c97e3b37c63756592662810" />
Previously we&rsquo;ve seen the like of Akka Nasi Lemak which gained popularity from people sharing about her stall online as well as Bangsudu Nasi Lemak who live streams on TikTok while he sells his delicious Nasi Lemak for only RM1.
But what if we told you that you can feel like a superstar when you purchase your next packet of Nasi Lemak?

Nasi Lemak Stall Rolls Out Red Carpet For Their Customers 
Yes, you read that right, the Tamparuli Nasi Lemak stall is located behind Aeon Mall in Section 13 Shah Alam as they roll out a red carpet for their customers who come to their stall daily. Owner Mohd Ali Jainneh, 33, shared that he was inspired by the idea of rolling out a red carpet after seeing a Pahang laksa stall roll out a black carpet to help attract customers.
<blockquote class="tiktok-embed" style="max-width: 605px; min-width: 325px;" cite="https://www.tiktok.com/@ustazalinljt/video/7237136665926503681" data-video-id="7237136665926503681">

&ldquo;It looks clean and eye-catching, so I used the idea for my business but added a twist to it to also convey my gratitude and respect to my customers&rdquo;.
<script async="" src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed.js"></script>

He started his business eight years ago in Sarawak and recently expanded to Shah Alam. The first branch opened up in Section 18 Shah Alam and the second branch in Section 13 had only been operating for a week. The idea of having a red carpet was introduced not long ago, initially spanning six meters. However, due to the increasing popularity and positive response from customers, he decided to extend it to a whopping 20 meters. Now, even more customers can enjoy the special feeling of walking on the red carpet when purchasing their nasi lemak.
A plus point is that the red carpet is that when his stall is open, it allows road users to be more aware of the customers lining up for the food as they drive by.
How Much Is The Nasi Lemak?
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/74a94a47828899b9f5eee26d6c1b04616fe4f5c547102555cf55319eb2a4e39f" /> Now doesn&rsquo;t that look delicious?!
According to their official Facebook page, their nasi lemak starts at RM3 for a normal packed nasi lemak and RM5 for a nasi lemak with a fried egg. Onwards from there, they have rushes such as Ayam Ketumbar, Rendang Daging, Sambal Sotong and many more priced at RM8.
Now that&rsquo;s pretty affordable if you think about it. 
As the queue can sometimes get pretty long, Ali shared that customers such as pregnant women, senior citizens and disabled people (OKU) can skip the long queues and send a WhatsApp for their orders earlier and pick them up immediately when they come.

Nasi Lemak Stall In Shah Alam Makes Customers Feel Like A Star With Their Red Carpet! 

There&rsquo;s no doubt that as Malaysians, we&rsquo;d pretty much line up for anything good, especially when it comes to food.
One of those famous foods would be Nasi Lemak as we saw viral sensations such as Bangsudu&rsquo;s RM1 Nasi Lemak as well as Akka&rsquo;s Nasi Lemak which has been under the limelight for both her good food and the unexpected brawl that happened in front of her store recently.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/69d4f06c4cb0ec853ffb6ad06e5938df1943f6586c97e3b37c63756592662810" />

But there&rsquo;s one problem with these viral foods, sometimes it gets so popular that the seller can&rsquo;t control the crowd due to popular demand.
Malaysians Line Up For 7hrs Just For Viral Desserts
Recently, TikTok entrepreneur Kieda who is renowned for her crepe desserts in Penang has created quite a fan base on the app till her audience grew beyond her local area.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/913d65c005c6d0f19d7714e8fc2c24d92077b3c99664f065b5e32ba24a427bfc" />
As her business grew, she took the opportunity to take her business on a &ldquo;tour&rdquo; and came down to Shah Alam to give a chance for her fans to purchase the desserts. Typically, we&rsquo;d think that when a business decides to do this, all would run smoothly and the crowd would be set in a controlled environment but oh how Kieda was very wrong about this.
Little did she know that her popular desserts had such a fanbase that her pop-up store at Stadium Shah Alam had managed to gather a crowd of approximately 5,000 people according to the stadium&rsquo;s management. Unfortunately, as the day progressed, chaos ensued as customers had grown impatient and some even got into fights after being too worn out by the long wait.

&ldquo;Some fought among themselves. Some lost their patience and wanted to fight with my husband when he couldn&rsquo;t satisfy their needs, and some even hit the hand of my employee because they thought he didn&rsquo;t handle the crowd well,&rdquo; said Kieda.
In addition, she expressed her surprise at the unexpectedly large crowd, acknowledging the impossibility of her team managing such a massive group of people. Despite facing significant criticism, Kieda expressed gratitude for the opportunity and shared that amidst the challenges, some visitors generously offered her valuable business advice.
Issues An Apology To Customers
<iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fkhalieda.yusra%2Fposts%2Fpfbid0zbtyQcAoMToPfWPSage7r6WBYWCmVMMfgFJBe6wAAJeSHky8DS241fJoZ5jDaMMPl&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500" width="500" height="658" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
Much later, Kieda took to her Facebook to apologise to her customers who came to Shah Alam for not being able to meet her needs and thanked them for supporting her business despite needing to line up for nearly 7 hours before being able to purchase her crepes.
Despite the hardships faced by Kieda and her team, many netizens took to the comments section to show their support for her and that it&rsquo;s okay to have experienced this for her first &ldquo;tour&rdquo;. Some also joked that next time she does a tour, she should bring more than 3 lorries of her desserts so there&rsquo;s more than enough for everyone.
Here&rsquo;s some of the comments:

Viral Dessert Draws Massive Crowd In Shah Alam, Resulting In 7Hr Long Queues And Rising Tempers

For those living in Malaysia, it is widely known that our country boasts numerous holiday and tourist destinations. However, it is often observed that Malaysians tend to prefer travelling to neighbouring countries rather than exploring their own.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/db0be4cc2c9e1481f53cf4279c56c8f8d6db0d9afd828572fc0ea9bf14180220" />
Besides the usual trips to Singapore, an increasing number of Malaysians are now opting to visit Thailand for its affordable food and the rising popularity of stores selling cannabis, as Thailand has become the first country in Southeast Asia to legalize it.
An Adventure Up North With KTM!
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/eabd7433eec1f7c977b1d25bd70f6f029fd53df22af726196a4e6685e2bf974d" />
"But here's the thing: we usually opt for a plane ride to Thailand, with prices starting from RM331 for a round trip. While flying is one of the fastest modes of transportation, why not embark on an adventurous journey to Thailand via Keretapi Tanah Melayu (KTM)?
We often perceive KTM trains as 'run down' or too plain for long trips, but it's important not to judge a book by its cover. Over the years, their services have significantly improved, making train travel a comfortable experience.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/ecfe27b3c244189a37653ec04c19154b6685f5bd5c713515d50d0df74ff22c17" /> The inside of a modern-day KTM coach. (Right) The normal Class 93 arrangement and (Left) the Business Class arrangement.
Now, the train offers a pleasant experience with captivating sights, but what if we told you that you could elevate your adventure and indulge in a life of luxury on board?
Introducing KTM&rsquo;s Luxury Train! The train has now received a wholly decked-out luxury coach decorated in a Victorian Theme. Officially named the Reserved Saloon Coach under the Charter Train category, it is popularly known as the Puteri Saadong Coach. KTM introduced this coach specifically to cater to group travellers, whether for business events or family trips.
Check out its space!
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/5c3a2a5c5d2c087edf5a92d1f25ec2ba13a9483e61ccc70db821ad11487f72c1" />
Unlike the usual carriages, the Reserved Saloon Coach comes with its own private rooms which also come with an en-suite bathroom for extra privacy. If you&rsquo;re looking to freshen up during your trip, don&rsquo;t worry as the bathroom comes fully completed and is aimed to provide passengers maximum comfort during their journey.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/9b2050b0d76edab04fbbaa59d7d3a9f8c99369f49e5766e9c0215ba8a33ed775" />
Typically, a flight will take us around 2hrs and 15mins, and the train ride will take around 20-24 hours and will also be depending on factors such as the route, train schedule as well as stops along the way.
KTM has ensured that passengers will feel right at home and comfortable throughout their journey as they included playrooms for children, a karaoke room for passengers to sing their hearts out as well as a restaurant which can be visited at any time of the journey while being able to enjoy the scenic views of the countryside.
Only Available For Reservations (For Now)
As of now, the coach will only be available via reservation. However, do note that it will not be running every day as there is no fixed route or schedule for the specific coach.
Passengers who are interested in getting a ride on the luxury train can call KTM via phone call at +603-22631078.

</blockquote>
TikTok user @redzuanmanaf87 gave a short tour of the train and we can all certainly agree that it is very nice and comfortable. Looking in the comment section, it&rsquo;s said that the rental cost is between RM10K to RM17K for the whole coach making it perfect for an event onboard the train.
Though that&rsquo;s a pretty hefty price tag to pay, you'll need to remember that it&rsquo;s meant for events or to travel in big packs, that&rsquo;s not entirely a bad idea as it&rsquo;s also a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
