In a move that's causing quite a stir in Malaysia, Famous Amos has introduced a bold, limited-edition creation: the Nasi Lemak Bungkus cookie. Known for their iconic chocolate chip cookies, Famous Amos has ventured far from their traditional offerings by capturing the essence of Malaysia's beloved national dish nasi lemak in the form of a cookie. Yes, you read that right: Nasi Lemak. In. A. Cookie.
The new cookie packs the familiar flavors of nasi lemak into a crispy, crumbly treat. Imagine the creaminess of coconut milk, the sweet fragrance of pandan, and a cheeky sambal heat, all balanced with Famous Amos' signature cookie texture. Its an unexpected, and admittedly daring, combination of savory and sweet.
Naturally, the announcement piqued the curiosity of netizens. Many were intrigued, some skeptical, and a few brave souls took the plunge and tried this unconventional snack. Early reviews have been a mixed bag, with some enthusiasts praising the unique fusion of flavors, while others weren't so sure.
One fan shared their experience with an enthusiastic endorsement: "Just found out Famous Amos has a nasi lemak cookie. Weird, but delicious. Tastes like spicy sambal nasi lemak with chocolate chips." Another reviewer said, "Tried it, got a spicy kick at the end. Quite similar to actual nasi lemak, got the sambal flavour."
However, not everyone is convinced. The combination of spicy sambal and sweet cookie dough left some feeling confused. "OMG, I tried the sample. Weird taste. After the first bite, there's just a spicy taste. I guess, they're cookies, but spicy?" another commented. One skeptical shopper admitted, "Maybe because it tastes spicy, sweet, and lemak (greasy) all at once, I don't dare to try, haha."
For those with a sense of adventure, the Nasi Lemak Bungkus cookie is available at Famous Amos stores for a limited time. Whether you're a fan of the classic nasi lemak or just in the mood for something wildly different, these cookies are sure to spark a conversation and maybe even challenge your taste buds.
So, if you're up for a daring snack experience, head over to Famous Amos and grab a bag before they're gone! But be warned: It might just leave you craving more... or questioning your life choices.
