This weekend, Ed Sheeran, the UK’s musical superstar, is about to make a splash in Malaysia, lighting up Chap Goh Mei with his tunes on February 24.
Fresh from his Singapore gig on the 16th, Sheeran’s foodie adventures in the city, featuring local favorites like chicken rice, laksa, satay, and toasted treats, became the talk of the town.
Sheeran, who just celebrated his 33rd birthday on the 17th, shared his gratitude towards Singaporean digital creator Denise for showing him the ropes of local cuisine, including a pro-level demonstration of making Teh Tarik (pulled tea).
His Malaysian fans couldn’t help but playfully nudge him for enjoying their homeland’s specialties abroad, suggesting a more “authentic” culinary experience awaits him in Malaysia.
This friendly jest sparked a light-hearted “food feud” between fans from both countries.
As the excitement for his Malaysian concert heats up, the fan comments section turned into a delightful mix of banter and anticipation.
Some fans were curious about how Sheeran keeps his white T-shirt spotless all day, while others suggested he try Roti Canai, a must-have Malaysian Indian delicacy, during his visit.
Despite the playful exchanges, the underlying tone is one of sheer anticipation for Sheeran’s performance in Malaysia, promising a weekend filled with great music and maybe, just maybe, even greater food.
