Nothing, I don\u2019t want to bring up things from the past but I just want some justice because there are just too many excuses \u2013 from sold out ingredients to being too tired.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t understand what made them so stressful, I just asked for three recipes for them to try in a day, is that too much to ask for,\u201d Khairul replied in another video.<\/p>\n<p>Khairul even stitched in clips of followers\u2019 failed attempts at past recipes to poke fun at them.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, TikTok users revived an old college video of Khairul doing a traditional dance, sparking a new trend of followers attempting his moves instead of cooking his recipes.<\/p>\n<p>From solo dancers to families, the trend has spread widely across local TikTok feeds.<\/p>\n<p>Khairul later explained that the dance video was from his third year at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, where he served as president of the Malaysian Students Association.<\/p>\n<p>He added that during that week, the university was hosting the Asian New Year Festival, requiring students from Asian countries to perform a cultural dance from their home nations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"KUALA LUMPUR, March 2 \u2014 Malaysian entrepreneur and content creator Khairul Aming has entered his ninth year of&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":324331,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[321,150423,150424,93,61,60,150420,150421,150422,34196],"class_list":["post-324330","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-daiyan-trisha","tag-datuk-aznil-nawawi","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-khairul-aming","tag-ramadan-recipes","tag-rembayung","tag-vanderbilt-university"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/324330","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=324330"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/324330\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/324331"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=324330"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=324330"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=324330"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
