A Malaysian couple recently went viral on TikTok after they uploaded a video of their unique wedding reception
In the 20-second clip posted by user @saraygonephoto, the newlyweds shared that their wedding reception had a pasar malam (night market) theme, complete with stalls serving local food.
At the stalls, guests were treated to a variety of Malaysian street food, including air balang (drinks served in jars), teh tarik, kuih cakoi, keropok lekor, laksa, bihun sup, and many more.
In a conversation with SAYS, the bride said that she didn't originally plan to have a pasar malam-themed wedding
However, her family insisted on sponsoring the side dishes, and they accidentally overbooked stalls for the wedding reception.
"I initially only ordered the main menu, which was nasi minyak for 1,500 pax. My family then agreed to sponsor the side menu, and I thought it wouldn't be much.
"But on the day of the event, there was so much food that it looked like a night market," said the bride.
The bride said that, in total, they spent over RM17,000 on the wedding reception, excluding the cost of the side dishes
She went on to say that booking each stall cost between RM300 to RM450.
"The guests who came looked happy and they enjoyed all the food that we served. Some also mentioned that the reception had a pasar malam vibe.
"I'm grateful to have been blessed with a kind family who are willing to sponsor my wedding," she added.
