A Foodpanda delivery rider in Selayang, Selangor, has become an unexpected TikTok star after he jumped behind a mamak kitchen counter to make his customer’s roti canai when the order was taking too long.
From rider to roti canai chef
The incident, caught on camera by TikTok user Muhd Ariff, showed the abang Foodpanda confidently pressing and flipping the dough on the griddle like a seasoned mamak chef. While it’s unclear exactly how long he had been waiting, his decision to take matters into his own hands had netizens in stitches.
In just a few days, the video racked up over 335,000 views, with amused viewers flooding the comments section. One of the most-liked remarks read: “Your rider is preparing your food,” while another teased, “Abang Foodpanda can multitask… your boyfriend? Didn’t think so.” Some even joked he was channelling Thanos, snapping away delays in the kitchen.
Netizens salute his dedication
Instead of frustration, the rider turned the delay into a viral moment, winning praise for going the extra mile. “This one really service plus-plus,” one commenter wrote, while others said his quick thinking showed true dedication to getting food to customers hot and fresh.
The video also sparked a wave of wholesome memes, with many saying they wouldn’t mind if their delivery rider could also whip up a prata or two before sending it over.
Wholesome Malaysian humour on display
The clip has since joined a long list of Malaysian feel-good stories, where humour, kindness, and a bit of chaos come together perfectly. For many netizens, it was a reminder that even small moments — like a hungry customer, a delayed kitchen, and an eager delivery rider — can bring the whole internet together for a laugh.
