Man In Malaysia Finds Small Sheet-Thin Egg Slice In Nasi Lemak
With ingredients getting more expensive, customers have had to reckon with increasingly smaller portions of food at higher prices.
However, some vendors have taken it too far with extreme measures of downsizing.
One man in Malaysia experienced this firsthand when he found an egg slice as thin as a sheet of paper in his nasi lemak.

He then shared photos of the nasi lemak online, where it went viral with netizens comparing the egg slice to a SIM card and SpongeBob SquarePants.

In a video attached to the post, he could be seen picking up the egg slice to demonstrate how small it actually was.
From the looks of it, the egg barely covered the tiny amount of anchovies on top of the rice.
To drive home his point, he also included a photo of the egg from the side, showing off its paper-like thickness.

Despite the disappointment he must have felt, the OP still managed to inject some humour into the situation, calling the egg slice as “thin as (his) faith”.

Jokes aside, we hope this reminds vendors to be fair when it comes to deciding their food portions.
As for the OP, we wish him better luck the next time he gets nasi lemak.
