KUALA LUMPUR โ€“ A Polish social media influencer named Dominik has been captivating audiences on TikTok with his reviews of Malaysian food and drinks.ย 

In just a month, Dominik has garnered over 77,500 likes across 19 food review posts, sparking a buzz within the Malaysian community. 

As Malaysians flock to his comment section with recommendations, they enjoy witnessing Dominik’s reactions to iconic dishes such as satay, apam balik, roti jala, and nasi lemak. 

In a departure from traditional food reviewers, Dominik opts for a silent approach. His videos typically begin with him rubbing his hands in anticipation and end with a thumbs-up if he approves or a “so-so” hand gesture if the food falls short. 

Dominik’s first post featured the iconic mamak signature dish, mee goreng (fried noodles), which has amassed over 38,000 views to date, earning a seven out of ten rating from Dominik along with a thumbs up.

Underneath the post, a user named @cllabbmlsnmng suggested that Dominik travel to Sarawak and try mee kolok, prompting a flushed-face emoji reaction from Dominik. 

Building on the success of his initial post, Dominik ventured into tasting the divisive “king of fruits,” durian, known for its potent smell and unique flavor.

Much like many foreigners, Dominik was not enamoured with durian, giving it a three out of ten rating and expressing his distaste in captions such as “No way” and “Is there anybody who likes it?” 

Surprisingly, some netizens accepted his opinion without outrage, acknowledging the polarising nature of durian. 

โ€œDurians โ€“ a person will either love it or hate it, no in-betweens. I can see you’re the latter,โ€ said a user named @chocolatemocha99. 

Another netizen, @aniezzsalam suggested Dominik try other local fruits, such as mangosteen, langsat, mata kucing. However, she said that durian is the โ€œbest fruit in the worldโ€. 

Apart from exploring the native tastes, Dominik seems to be adapting the local slang too, where he captioned his nasi kandar review with โ€œIt is so nice but too spicy lahโ€. 

Other than the local food, he also tried the recent viral ice cream from China-based food chain, Mixue.

However, the netizens corrected him in the comment section that Mixue is not a โ€œMalaysian foodโ€ as per his caption for the post. 

Most of the locals express their warm welcome to Dominik and encourage him to explore more as long as he resides in Malaysia. โ€“ March 21, 2024
