Glico Malaysia celebrates Malaysian flavours with its Limited Edition Pocky Durian and Pocky Ondeh-Ondeh, inviting everyone to ‘Share the Taste of Heritage’ for the nation’s 68th Merdeka Day.
Made with natural ingredients, Pocky Durian offers a bold durian-chocolate coating with real durian, while Pocky Ondeh-Ondeh features a pandan chocolate coating, topped with desiccated coconut, wrapped around a palm sugar-flavoured biscuit stick.
Both flavours, accompanied by Pocky’s crunchy biscuit stick, create a fun treat that brings local favourites to life. The festive packaging, inspired by Peranakan designs, showcases real ingredients and vibrant illustrations, celebrating Malaysia’s rich cultural tapestry.
The essence of this celebration is captured in a mural by Glico Malaysia, reflecting the harmony of Malaysia’s diverse cultures.
Created by local street artist Abdulrashade, the mural expresses the unity of Malaysian people, emphasizing cultural connection and national pride through a shared love for food. The artwork blends traditional Peranakan motifs with youthful energy, incorporating hobbies like photography and skateboarding to capture the spirit of Malaysian youth.
“Malaysians are passionate about food and proud of our traditional flavours. With Pocky Durian and Pocky Ondeh-Ondeh, we’re sharing the happiness of traditional and familiar flavours in a new way that combines culture, flavour and creativity,” said Lee Yeen Theng, Managing Director of Glico Malaysia & International Cluster. “This mural brings that spirit to life, showcasing the talent of local artists and heritage flavours while celebrating Malaysia’s unity and diversity. As we mark our 68th Merdeka together, we look forward to many more years of bringing healthier days and wellbeing to all Malaysians.”
Set against the backdrop of Jalan Doraisamy in Chow Kit – just steps from the iconic Heritage Row and beloved local food haunts – the mural offers a colourful tribute to the rich diversity of Malaysian life, right where heritage meets modern urban culture.
“As a Malaysian street artist, I’m proud to create something that speaks to our shared identity. Coming from Penang, I grew up surrounded by Peranakan culture, and my family owns a durian plantation – so this piece is very personal,” said Abdulrashade. “The mural is about unity, youth, and heritage. I hope it inspires more people to see how street art can tell our national story in new ways.”
