PETALING JAYA, April 20 — For most people, the Covid-19 movement control order (MCO) has definitely prompted them to spend more time in the kitchen by revisiting old recipes and whipping up delicious meals.
And more often than not, photos of their culinary creations will be put on social media for people to check out.
But for others, the MCO has proven challenging with some kitchen “experiments” resulting in hilarious-looking dishes.
Facebook group, Masak Apa Tak Jadi Hari Ini Official is an avenue for people to put up photographs of these cooks who have made unsuccessful attempts at making food such as cakes and kuih.
According to the group’s description, the purpose of the group was solely to make social media users laugh with their family or friends when looking at these failed food pictures.
No one however, is allowed to lambast nor critique the pictures posted nor the users, according to the description.
One of the pictures that has caused an uproar of laughter include burnt pictures of churros.
Muhd Hakem who posted this wrote in his captions, “The intention in the heart is to do churros. I don’t know what it looks like. I’m depressed for a while.”
Many people joked and asked whether what he cooked was dried chilies, others said that it looked like “sad churros”, while a few said that it looked like eels.
Another user, Ajie Ishky shared a picture of how his kuih seri muka texture ended up disintegrating instead of sticking together.
User Khairul Faizal jokingly quipped, “Could you please send me the recipe?”
Anne Khan, on the other hand, made social media users laugh when she posted a picture of her long cakoi that do not look at all like how the original ones are made.
Her post has been liked by over 21, 000 users.
“Are those cinnamon sticks by any chance?”, joked most users.
The group has a total of one million members so far and have been liked over 11,000 times at the time of writing.
