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.

    Malaysians :arm-R: Hating omputehs :arm-L: Singaporeans

    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.
