Poppy seed or known locally by its Turkish name khaskhas, as the name suggest is the seed of the poppy plant. It is usually used in curry and European, Indian, Jewish cuisines. That means our Malaysian favourite nasi kandar probably has poppy seed in them.

I remember last time there is a big hoohaa about this because it is claimed to make people addicted to the curry by some "Dr." but I never heard if poppy seed was banned or not.

So is it legal in Malaysia? I know it is banned in SG due to the morphine content.

Ok.jpg.

No wonder nasi kandar nowadays tarak sadap lagi

Kena ban or not also dunno la wei.

Some more only a few gram in whole pot of curry, poppy seed is expensive la wei, you think the mamak will taruh 1kg for you ka?

What other not legal things does your waifu shop sell?

It still contains the same substance found in poppy plant's latex, just in lower amount and it still gives a positive in urine test.

Odd, I've seen more than a few places that bake cakes with poppy seeds...
