🌺Merdeka Malaysia: Flag of Fruits

There are so many reasons to love this beautiful country, and food is surely one of them. As proud rakyat Malaysia, we took the historic Merdeka month as an opportunity to celebrate with an edible version of the Malaysian flag!

This is our humble (yet tasty!) tribute to our birthplace, our home country.

Negaraku Malaysia. 


Do you recognise the fruits in this labour of love? We made sure to use mostly locally-grown fresh fruits like rambutan, longan, and yes even the cutest strawberries from Cameron Highlands! For the blue and yellow colours, we made us of blueberries as well as cheddar cheese that was carefully cut to form the moon and star as accurately as we could.

It was a really fulfilling team activity, especially while the entire nation is roaring in cheers for our Malaysian athletes at the Paris Olympics 2024. Medal or not, they'd always be heroes in our hearts. MALAYSIA BOLEH!
