It's all thanks to Chelsea footballer, N'golo Kante who produced one of the greatest Champions League final performances. ICYMI, in the UCL finals on Saturday (May 29), Chelsea scored a 1-0 win against Manchester City.

The Blues victory was credited to the French midfielder and the 'nasi lemak' he ate at tukdin before flying off for the finals.
To be precise, he devoured a tasty plate of 'nasi lemak kosong' with 'ayam masak merah', prepared by the skillful chefs there.

In case you made it to the UK, don't forget to drop by tukdin's on 41 Craven Road to try the secret behind every man's success, a plate of delicious 'nasi lemak'.
The shop owners should rename their nasi lemak- The N'golo Kante Nasi Lemak to commemorate his wonderful performance in the #UCL final.
