Holy shit, every time I'm reminded of this book and film franchise just everything about it just fills me with absolute white-hot hate. I feel like someone superglued They Live sunglasses to my head; every single person involved in writing, filming and promoting of this filth, and their circle of family and friends, gets cultural revolutioned the moment I find a way to resurrect Mao.

    This is extremely common in Malay cooking. If the stall holder was Peranakan or Malay they’re probably using the same rice for other dishes.

    Wtf no. It's not common practice in Malay cooking to drizzle pandan leaf juice into rice. The aroma is already fully incorporated into the rice without adding pandan leaf juice. Pandan extract/juice is usually used in Malay cooking for kuih-muih and pastries. I'm really worried about the state of Singaporean food if Singaporean hawkers regularly serve nasi lemak with green rice.

    maybe check that privilege

    Bro, I'm just a humble Malaysian communist netizen carrying out my patriotic duty of dunking on Singaporean food culture. I believe that it was enshrined in the 1965 constitutional amendments that each Malaysian has the fundamental right to cyberbully at least one Singaporean per week, especially if they say something completely ignorant like "Singaporean food culture"?

      I shed tears of joy upon observing that part of the holy rivalry shared between the great nations of Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia continues on this very site in cyber-form.

      As a pre-emptive warning, any americanoid, UK-oid, or europeanoid who has read this far must shut the fuck up and remain silent. This is not your fight.

        Marx failed to consider that national food rivalries are the ultimate barrier to true solidarity and internationalism. :soviet-huff:

        South East Asia takes great pride in their (version) of foods. Any youtube-video of someone cooking their food looks exactly like this comment section. It's honestly amazing, if you have no connection to either place.

        I mean food culture rivalry anywhere is kinda like sports team rivalry. Like the USA didn't invent pizza yet there's New York pizza vs. Chicago deep dish pizza, etc. It's not supposed to make sense, and you're just supposed to pick a side and have fun shitting on all others.

        However, Malaysian disdain for Singaporean food culture is maybe partially amplified by the brand of Singaporean hawker food culture being better / more widely marketed to Western audiences, leading to dishes common to Singapore and Malaysia being labelled in Western and Singaporean mass media as having "originated" from Singapore, even though the more "original"/"authentic"/"traditional" version of the same dish originated from Penang or KL or wherever.

      Ah comrade, my mistake. Carry on then. My response was a kneejerk reply to chauvinist white people talking about things they don't understand, which was what I had you pegged as, but clearly that was my own assumptions talking and I sincerely apologize for coming out so antagonistic.

      Because yah lah, Singaporean food culture is just stolen Malaysian food culture. Like the entire country, basically.

      I’m really worried about the state of Singaporean food if Singaporean hawkers regularly serve nasi lemak with green rice.

      Errr.....

      But seriously tho it's not that rare to get green rice, especially with nasi lemak. I don't think they dye it, it's just the pandan leaf juice getting cooked into the rice.

        Yeah I don't doubt that green pandan rice exists. Call my taste buds conservative, but I just can't imagine it being served as as part of hawker stall chicken rice / nasi lemak. Was really weirded out that one time years ago when I ordered chicken rice at a Singaporean hawker centre and got what seemed like a green eggs and ham interpretation of it.

            "Omputeh" is Malay language contraction / slang for "orang putih / orang puteh", literally meaning white person.
