British journalist Katie Morley recently caught netizens' attention after she gave nasi lemak a rating of 0/10
On 15 January, the woman took to Twitter to share about a meal she had while on a 13-hour British Airways flight.
According to her, the dish was labelled as 'chicken curry with rice' on the menu.
She wrote, "Behold: Chicken curry served with anaemic boiled egg, topped with smelly, slimy anchovies. Quite like plane food usually, and this was 0/10."

The tweet prompted Malaysians and nasi lemak lovers everywhere to band together and defend the dish.
After the whole fiasco, she decided to visit a Malaysian restaurant in London and try out a proper nasi lemak meal.
She said, "You are right, it's delicious!"
