In a recent TikTok video, Malaysian man Fikri, residing in South Korea, delighted his colleagues with a homemade feast of mee hoon goreng, a cherished Malaysian delicacy. Shared on his TikTok page @fikriakram91, he exhibited his culinary prowess while introducing the local dish to his South Korean peers.
@fikriakram91 Berkongsi Kurma, Dadih & Bihun Goreng dengan my Korean Officemate. Alhamdulillah, Sambut Ramadan Pertama saya dekat Korea. Jujurnya, most of my Korean colleagues tak tahu pun pasal Bulan Ramadan. Semoga sekecil kecil usaha ini membuka mata mereka untuk kenal budaya/agama kita. The month of Ramadan is a gift from Allah. May Allah grant us all productive and sacred Ramadan. Amin. #friends #fyp #fypシ #koreanpeople #Koreanlife #malaysian #ramadan Ramadhan Tiba - Opick
He began by preparing some dadih, a beloved Malaysian pudding, and packed some dates for his colleagues to sample. Then, he proceeded to cook fried noodles from scratch. While cooking, he shared a tip from his late mother: "When cooking and sharing food with others, remember to recite blessings. InshaAllah, it will be delicious." He also shared a simple Ramadan message for his colleagues to learn about the sacred period.
His colleagues warmly embraced the meal, displaying genuine excitement for a taste of Malaysian cuisine. Fikri's gesture underscored the enduring popularity of Malaysian food beyond geographical boundaries.
