A netizen recently posted a shocking video on Facebook showing worms wriggling in the sambal of a nasi lemak packet.
The Facebook video quickly sparked heated discussions among netizens, with many responding in a light-hearted manner.
Sambal worms
The video shows the worms, partially covered by the sambal, with their small size and fading red color blending into the spicy paste.
These tiny worms appeared to be nearly translucent, their faint red hue camouflaging them within the sambal’s thick texture.

As they squirmed, they seemed to emerge from beneath the sambal’s surface, suggesting they had been hidden within the mix.
The subtle movement of these worms made it challenging to notice them at first, but once spotted, the unsettling sight became all too clear.
Netizens’ reaction
Despite the concerning discovery, most reactions remained playful, as netizens poked fun at the unexpected “bonus” ingredient found in the sambal.
“Bro… it’s probiotics and protein.”

“You don’t have to eat it, but make sure to treat your friends to it.”

“Most of the food at mamak stalls is leftovers from the previous night or even from two nights ago. They don’t get rid of what they don’t sell, and the kitchen is so dirty it’s unbearable.”
