[superadmin]

KUALA LUMPUR – An Indian nasi lemak seller was thrust into the public limelight after videos promoting her array of dishes went viral online, causing throngs of eager customers to queue hundreds of metres to sample the home-cooked menu.

The seller, identified only as Sangeetha, operates a humble stall in Seri Kembangan and has garnered a large following of loyal patrons willing to line-up for hours for a chance to try her nasi lemak and other dishes such as squid sambal, chicken rendang, and quail egg sambal.

While Sangeetha, who refers to herself as “Akka Nasi Lemak” (Nasi Lemak Sister), had set up shop in the area about a decade ago, her stall recently gained popularity after food blog KL Foodie posted a video on TikTok reviewing local cuisine.

The video was then shared to Twitter by user @jllmisai, whose tweet has received over 1,560 retweets and nearly 5,000 likes as of press time.
