Woman splits stone mortar in half while following ayam gepuk recipe
When an amateur cook takes over the kitchen, a recipe for disaster is always a possibility.
In Malaysia, a woman unintentionally broke a stone mortar in half while making ayam gepuk — fried chicken crushed in chilli paste — using a recipe from entrepreneur and popular food content creator Khairul Aming.
She shared a video of her disastrous cooking attempt on TikTok earlier this week, and the clip has since racked up 2.8 million views.

It then cuts to the woman’s attempt, revealing a stone mortar completely split in half, with crushed chillies still sitting on both pieces.

Others asked if OP was venting her anger while cooking, while one tried to console her, suggesting that modern mortars are of poorer quality.

The food creator also added the clip to a TikTok post compiling people’s failed attempts to recreate his recipes, which also included burnt dinner rolls and muffins that overflowed during the baking process.
“Please pray for this year’s batch,” he captioned the post, seemingly both amused and exasperated by his followers’ kitchen disasters.
