Students eagerly crowded around the stall during
recess, eager to sample the diverse culinary

Pitch-pot (ᄾઆ) offerings. Nasi lemak, a fragrant rice dish
cooked in coconut milk and served with various
accompaniments, quickly became a popular
choice, alongside other Malay delicacies like
kuih-muih. Among the various dishes, there
was also the popular Chinese delicacy ang ku
kueh, while the Indian delicacy vadai was also
in high demand. The overwhelming demand
for these traditional treats was evident as dishes
sold out rapidly, leaving many students already
anticipating next year's culinary delights. This
shared experience of enjoying diverse foods
further underscored the unity and cultural
richness of Malaysia, perfectly complementing
the spirit of the Independence Day celebration.
