A recent video has gone viral on TikTok, capturing a wholesome and humorous moment during the 101st Convocation Ceremony of Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) at the Dewan Agung Tuanku Canselor, Shah Alam.

Rather than sticking to the traditional gesture of gifting flowers, a group of friends decided to celebrate their friend's graduation in a unique and relatable way by presenting him with Ayam Gepuk Top Global, a popular spicy fried chicken dish that's taken the student community by storm.

According to the video, the graduate is a die-hard fan of ayam gepuk, which inspired his friends to ditch the flower bouquet and instead surprise him with his favourite meal as a symbolic gesture of their love and support.

"Our friend is really a fan of ayam gepuk.

If you want extra rice or sambal, you can ask from the nearby stall," joked TikTok user Eimey, who posted the video.

The situation became even more amusing when one of the friends cheekily asked to be fed the meal on the spot, but the graduate, perhaps shy from all the attention, politely declined.

The light-hearted video quickly caught the attention of netizens, who flooded the comments section with laughter and admiration. Many called it one of the most meaningful and practical graduation gifts, after all, who can say no to good food?

Some even hoped they'd receive the same kind of gift during their own convocation ceremonies, admitting it was far more exciting (and filling) than a conventional flower bouquet.

The video not only brought smiles but also highlighted how thoughtful, personalized gestures, especially those involving food,  can turn a simple celebration into a memorable and viral moment.
