A Malaysian man’s breakfast took a stomach-turning turn when he discovered a cockroach in his packet of nasi lemak.
In a viral Threads post, user @scsyrh shared that her father was peeling a hard-boiled egg when he noticed something odd buried in the rice.
Curious, he pulled it out — only to find an entire cockroach.
“My dad was peeling the egg when he noticed something strange. He pulled it out and there it was,” she wrote.

“Wow, is that an extra topping, sis?” chimed in @rlsheraa.
Others were horrified: “I just want to know — did the cockroach crawl in during packing, or was it cooked together with the sambal?” asked @ainajwabd.
“That’s not a cockroach, that’s a fish cake shaped like one,” quipped @msrbj1993.
