Yes, nasi lemak in a cookie. Famous Amos, known for its delicious chocolate chip cookie varieties, has somehow crammed all the nasi lemak goodness — creamy coconut, fragrant pandan, and a cheeky sambal kick — into one crispy, crumbly cookie.

Given the quirky flavour, netizens were understandably curious (and maybe even a bit intimidated) about this new creation
Some brave souls have already sampled the unique flavour and loved this odd concoction. One fan raved, "Just found out Famous Amos has a nasi lemak cookie. Weird, but delicious. Tastes like spicy sambal nasi lemak with chocolate chips." Another chimed in, "Tried it, got a spicy kick at the end. Quite similar to actual nasi lemak, got the sambal flavour."
But not everyone is convinced. Many remain sceptical, sharing comments like, "OMG, I tried the sample. Weird taste. After the first bite, there's just a spicy taste. I guess, they're cookies, but spicy?" and "Maybe because it tastes spicy, sweet, and lemak (greasy) all at once, I don't dare to try, haha."
If you're feeling adventurous, you can head to your nearest Famous Amos store and grab a bag of these limited-edition "Nasi Lemak Bungkus" cookies.
