# M’sian Woman Shocked To Find Giant Cockroach Inside Nasi Lemak Bought From Roadside Stall

##### Buying food outside of one's home can sometimes pose a risk as there's no telling whether foreign objects will be found inside it.

A woman and her father were left flabbergasted after they unearthed an adult (and very much dead) cockroach from within a packet of *nasi lemak* they bought from a roadside stall, disgusting many.

## Giant cockroach found inside nasi lemak

In a [Threads post](https://www.threads.com/@scsyrh/post/DL1wkzrRrKa?hl=en) by the OP, she wrote her father was peeling a boiled egg when he saw "something strange" inside the *nasi lemak*.

When he pulled out the "strange object" from the *nasi lemak*, he and the OP were stunned to discover that it was actually a dead cockroach.

The OP later revealed in the comment thread that her father returned the *nasi lemak* to the roadside stall where it was bought from.

However, she claimed the stall workers continued to sell the remaining packets of *nasi lemak*, adding she's unsure whether they had thrown away the one that had the roach inside.

## Netizens express disgust

Needless to say, netizens weren't exactly delighted to see the roach and expressed horror over the OP's discovery.

***'Did you ask for extra dishes when you bought the nasi lemak?'***

***'Weihhhhhhhhh I was looking for food on the Grab app but I immediately closed it (after seeing the post).'***
