An international student living in Malaysia recently made an innocent yet hilarious mistake — steaming some frozen curry puffs, believing they were dumplings

In a post on Xiaohongshu on 9 January, the student from Zhejiang, China shared a photo of what she was having for breakfast.

Her caption, with a tone of surprise, read, "I didn't know Malaysia's dumplings would be curry flavoured."

She added, "Eating a 'localised' dumpling before class starts. I steamed a few to eat and they tasted pretty good, but the skin is too thick."

However, the student took all the comments with good humour and even thanked those who gave her advice on how to properly cook them.

Funnily, she added that she ate the steamed curry puffs with vinegar, as dumplings are usually eaten.

In 2021, a product listing on Amazon made Chinese netizens around the world squeal with laughter:
