In a heartwarming video shared on TikTok by user @hajarfaisol, a teacher revealed the most unexpected and touching gift she has ever received during her years of service in education: a packet of fresh ikan temenung (Indian mackerel).

The unique present wasn't just for her, but also for nine other teachers at the school. Each of them received a generous portion of the fish, carefully packed in individual styrofoam boxes filled with ice to ensure freshness.
What made the gesture even more special was the effort put in by the student, who not only preserved the fish properly but also included a thoughtful note, asking the teachers to each take one packet.
In the video, one of the fish packets appeared to weigh over one kilogram, with impressively large-sized mackerel inside.
The student's sincere and practical gift has touched the hearts of many online. Netizens were quick to express their admiration for the student's generosity and creativity, with some jokingly saying they were suddenly in the mood for ikan temenung dishes.
This unexpected token of appreciation serves as a beautiful reminder that heartfelt gestures, no matter how unconventional, can leave a lasting impression.
