Yep, it's not unusual to see [a line forming](http://says.com/my/fun/what-malaysians-think-when-they-re-in-melbourne-for-the-first-time) outside a PappaRich outlet down under, especially during peak hours. It's nice to know they love Malaysian cuisine over there!
Anyway, PappaRich Australia recently announced a one-day promotion for their signature nasi lemak. Sure, the AUD2 (RM6.62) price tag is a pretty good deal, but it's the accompanying photo that caught everyone's attention…

Why on earth are they eating nasi lemak with CHOPSTICKS?!

It'll take you like, five hours to finish that plate of nasi lemak with chopsticks, mate.
Tbh, we don't know whether to laugh or feel offended. Needless to say, PappaRich's comments section was inundated with Malaysians dragging the restaurant for the cultural boo-boo.

If so, it definitely worked in their favour because a lot of people showed up to that particular PappaRich branch for the nasi lemak promo
