While there are countless ways to enjoy nasi lemak bungkus, a video of an esports host devouring the beloved dish without unwrapping it has left netizens in stitches
In a video shared by esports organisation @OGesports on X last Wednesday, 27 December, the hosts of a podcast called The Monkey Business Show were seen trying nasi lemak bungkus.
Captioned 'How to eat nasi lemak?', the one-minute clip took a hilarious turn when one of the hosts, Jake Kanner, also known as SirActionSlacks in the DOTA 2 community, was seen consuming the dish without unwrapping the banana leaf.
Upon realising his mistake, he turned towards French OG DOTA 2 player Sébastien "Ceb" Debs, exclaiming, "What? Did I eat a leaf? I thought it was real!"
After bursting into laughter, Malaysian DOTA 2 veteran Chai "Mushi" Yee Fung apologised to Kanner and explained that he could have eaten the dish with the utensils that were provided.
"I feel so bad I didn't explain the leaves to you," said Chai.
When Kanner questioned the purpose of the banana leaf, Ceb chimed in to explain that it is there to support the food.
The video has garnered 484,000 views to date, with netizens leaving hilarious comments
"[The leaf] is real but people don't eat that," laughed one user.
Another joked, "Sir, please enjoy the salad that comes with our nasi lemak."
One user explained the purpose of the banana leaf, saying, "Why is there a leaf you ask? Bro, [it's] eco-friendly plus it makes the rice smell good."
