Malaysians love our food more than anything else, but some of us have some… unusual requests when ordering:
1. "Nasi lemak, no sambal"
Image via Trip Advisor
Not *syok lah* without the *sambal*!
2. "Ice lemon tea, no ice"

Err… just order it *suam*?
3. "Hawaiian pizza, no pineapple"
Image via TripAdvisor
What's the point of ordering a Hawaiian pizza if you're going to remove the thing that makes it Hawaiian?
4. "Ais kacang tanpa kacang"

Bye bye yummy toppings!
5. "Cendol kosong"

But… but… what's the point?
6. "Banana leaf rice, no curry"

If you don't *banjir* your banana leaf rice with curry, you're not doing it right.
7. "Dry wantan mee, no sauce"
Image via Food Advisor
Where got flavour liddat?
8. "Prawn mee, no prawn"

Poor prawns, *kena halau*.
9. "Ramly burger, patty only"
Image via To Stay or To Go?
Haiyo, liddis oso can!
10. "Dhal, tambah gula"

We all have fond memories of eating *roti canai* with sugar as a kid, but mixing sugar into the *dahl* is just taking it too far man.
11. "Condensed milk + hot water"

We can't even imagine what this would taste like…
12. "Nasi lemak, no lemak"

Basically, this means replacing the coconut rice with plain white rice. Why would you disgrace our national dish like this guys, WHYYYY?!
13. "Limau + kicap"

Okaylah, this one can give chance a bit cause it's supposedly a good home remedy for coughs.
14. "Bandung dinosaur" (Sirap bandung topped with Milo powder)
Image via @ianonic (Imgrum)
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
15. "Raw egg + sugar"
Image via Pinterest
What happened to good old fashioned *kopitiam* style eggs? 🙁
16. "Onion rings, no onion"
Image via Our Best Bites
It's definitely not "batter" than normal onion rings, k.
17. "Char kuey teow kosong"

Just know that all Penangites are collectively plotting your murder.
