STORIES of broken hearts and betrayal are older than the oldest soap opera. Regardless, it is a timeless problem that requires deliberation since it is oftentimes a complex one.
But could people take the easy way out? Then again, is there ever an easy way out to such a problem? Tell that to a heartbroken lady who recently complained on the Internet that her husband has been “eating outside” of the house.
According to her, her husband had a new office mate and it appears their relationship had blossomed into something more than colleagues.
The solution? She wanted to make Nasi Kangkang for her husband to win him back again. For those not in the know, Nasi Kangkang is made when a lady squats on a rice pot. Heat from the pot makes her sweat, which drips into the rice.

Among the Malay community, this was the equivalent to black magic, which makes the husband subservient to the wife.
Listening to her plight, the Internet community decided to provide their “professional” advice to aid her in her problem. We can already expect where this is going.
According to netizen @musang1200, it was enough that she read the seventh word of surah Yusof.
Another netizen said she should have just asked for a divorce. “There is no need to get back the people who rejected us,” said @NaimFathullah who was clearly uninterested in such faithless males.
“The women of the current age are frightening. All of them are into black magic,” added @anabismatli.
Also, @Ferdz7878 pointed out that Nasi Kangkang was not the solution to the problem. Apparently, the man becomes stupid after consuming it, and it would not be a real family environment.
“Instead of Nasi Kangkang, it is better to open your legs while looking pretty in front of your husband. He will return to you” said a “marriage expert,” although the statement was obviously satire.
Perhaps the winning comment went to @Tesstisss who said the Nasi Kangkang was most effective when she was having her period. Either that or boiling her underwear in the chicken soup for his consumption.
Apparently the internet is never deficient in creativity. @blokchainfarm further added that she could have just given him rice laced with poison. Supposedly revenge is best served cold.
But why go to such length to win back a cheating man when she could just turn her black magic on a rich Datuk?
And that was exactly what @HIdnal suggested, adding that she could just be content being the second or third wife.
With the many advise given by our dear netizens, we suppose the troubled lady would have some idea on how to get even with her cheating husband. Meanwhile, one can only wonder how a plate of Nasi Kangkang would taste like. —June 29, 2025
