There’s something entertaining about seeing foreigners do something that is the norm for us. It’s just as entertaining as seeing them reacting to something that we’ve liked forever. Remember the American woman who told her friends about Malaysia not being a third world country? Or that time this TikToker being amazed by parking sensors at Disneyland?
As you know, many Malaysians are accustomed to eating with their hands but it’s not everyday you’d notice foreigners – especially Caucasians – eating the same way. We bet some of you have never even seen them attempt to eat the way we do but luckily, this girl managed to catch the funny sight on camera.
@wanaja5 Bile mu dh pandai mkn ngn tngn & nk ajr mmber lain mkn ngn tngn lak 🤣🤣🤣
Wan Aja or @wanaja5 on TikTok posted 2 videos recently on her account that got Malaysian netizens laughing. The first video is currently going viral reaching almost 1 million views (939.8k views), 90.6k likes and 2.7 comments. The video shows a group of foreigners eating together at a restaurant where the caption reads, “When you have to teach your friends how to eat with their hand🤣🤣🤣”.
The first man we see in the video appears to be struggling to eat his food with his hand as he has no idea on how to properly do it. He tried to reposition his arm and even tried sucking the rice from his hand. We then see another Caucasian man in a navy blue shirt correctly demonstrating how to eat like the locals.
The second video is basically the same video only with the original audio where we can hear Aja and her friends trying to teach their new foreign friend how to eat rice the Malaysian way. Both videos were met with hilarious comments by netizens who were too entertained to see the man struggling to eat.
Despite him struggling, we actually have to applaud him for trying and wanting to eat his meal like the locals. You know what they say, “When in Rome, do what the Romans do”.
