Alicia Amin found herself in hot water recently after a screenshot of her cooking rendang “Rendang Tok Raja Lapar” for sale went viral on Twitter.
The clip in question, was taken from one of her past updates on the business’ official Instagram. A lot of people have been calling her out for apparently not practising good hygiene while preparing the dish.

One user known as @brothertoba wrote, “No hairnet, no apron, no gloves, and she’s not even wearing her shoes. Did she even had typhoid injections before this?” Not only that, Alicia was heavily criticised for her inappropriate choice of outfit! The local starlet was also frowned upon for not wearing a face mask.
Scrolling through the comments, it’s no surprise that the controversial figure ended up receiving massive amount of backlash for her ignorant action. Check out some of their comments here:
Seemingly impacted by the negative criticisms received, Alicia then uploaded a lengthy statement on her “Rendang Tok Raja Lapar” official Instagram. She opened by apologising to everyone for “overlooking certain safety aspects”.
Not only that, Alicia pointed out that it was unfair for people to “politicised” her for selling the Malay dish. According to the “Meh Sandar Pada Aku” actress, non-Malays also enjoyed her home-cooked rendang as well.
For those interested, read her full statement here:
Despite the unfortunate backlash, the model’s Rendang dish has garnered a lot of sales from customers online.
