“Rice is life.”
This was among the comments of online users after TikTok user Chelsea Morales (@shellseahhh) shared a funny video of a little girl eating rice.
In the video posted on December 2, the hungry toddler eagerly leans directly into the rice cooker and munches on the freshly cooked rice, leaving grains scattered across her face as she enjoys her snack.
The scene captures the child’s playful enthusiasm and determination, turning a simple mealtime into a humorous and heartwarming moment.
“Anak hindi kita ginugutom,” Morales captioned her post.
The video has so far garnered 1.3 million views, 105,800 likes, 625 comments and 3,580 bookmarks, with many amused by the child’s appetite.
“Rice if life,” a TikTok user said.
“Baka dati po siyang bigas,” one commented in jest.
“Sumubsob na sa rice cooker HAHAHAHA,” a TikTok user wrote.
“Na para bang hindi siya kumain ng limang araw mii,” one commented.
“Nag-dive siya nag-dive siyaaaa,” another said.
Others praised the move of allowing the child to let her be.
“I love that you’re letting the kid do it instead of scolding her, sensorimotor exploration is important for their development at that stage,” one commented.
