A 75‑year‑old Malaysian Indian mum has become an unexpected social‑media star after a video of her trying Italian cuisine for the first time — and reacting with complete honesty — went viral. The light‑hearted clip, filmed last October at Tosca Italian Trattoria at the Hilton during a family graduation celebration, has resonated widely with Asian audiences for its humour and relatability.

The video shows the family encouraging their mum to sample a range of Italian dishes, from salad to appetisers she had never encountered before. Her reactions, however, quickly stole the spotlight. With a perfectly straight face and impeccable comedic timing, she offers dry, sarcastic remarks — including the now‑quoted line, “Very nice… having to eat like a goat.” Her expression throughout makes it clear exactly how she feels about the unfamiliar flavours and textures.
