When the time came to go abroad, he had to board a house, aka live alone. Conditions like this make him inevitably have to be ready to take care of himself, including preparing daily food.

Instead of being fluffy grains of rice, the cooking of the woman who is familiarly called Ihsan is actually too fluffy, even resembling porridge. After investigating, he didn't know the right amount of water for cooking rice, so he added too much water before cooking.

It doesn't stop there, giving too much water when cooking rice also causes the rice to smell. As a result, rice that is already in the form of rice becomes less delicious when eaten.
"The rice smells haha, it's already watering, sis, so I can feel the smell," said Ihsan.

"The water is as big as your thumb, not the capital," said TikTok @Ewa.
"Sis? MPASI?" wrote TikTok @yyyaprliani.

"No surprise, it turns out it's a guy who cooks," said TikTok @.
On the other hand, there are also other netizens who explain the proper technique for cooking rice so that the result is not soft like porridge.
"Sis, that's the way to do it, 1:1 knuckles. You wash the rice first, after that you measure using the knuckles of your finger from the bottom/bottom of the container to the top of the surface of the rice. After that, for the water the height is the same as the knuckles of your finger, but the difference is the measurement "from the top of the rice surface to the limit, measure the knuckles of your finger first," explained TikTok @chillaxvibes.
