Authentic Malaysian flavors! Guaranteed by me a true Malaysian, I’ve always felt like home eating Makan Malaysia’s food. Being one of the most sustainable food caterers, they offer vegan options for their dishes! Plus all the sustainable and recyclable packagings too! What’s not to love?

C. W.

Makan Malaysia makes the most authentic Malaysia food. I have had a lot of their meals and each one gets better everytime. You can taste that the food is made with love.

H. K.

We get curries as a treat every couple of months! They are amazing, delicious and easy to prepare. Also incredibly generous in terms of meat content and portion size. These gals are onto an absolute winner. Thank you ❤

Nasi lemak was authentic and portion was generous. My 2 daughters and I enjoyed the fried keow teow as well, reminded us of eating hawker’s food in Malaysia. Tasty and delicious. Thoroughly recommended!!

K. H.

I ordered a cook at home kit from Sue & Kat - the instructions were idiot proof and the food was delicious. My very fussy 8 year old thought it was one of the best things he'd ever had, particularly the Sambal!

N. B.

Sue and Kat are smart, savvy business operators with plenty of personality and their food is simply to die for. Their marmite chicken and satay are simply moreish and the fresh spring rolls (summer rolls) are fresh, zingy and give some of the Vietnamese restaurants out there a run for their money. They catered for our event effortlessly and everything was seamless, from start to finish. Would 100% book Makan Malaysia again if we have another event and would be super keen to join one of their supper clubs.

S. T.

Awesome evening! The food was soooo good and Kat & Su were brilliant hosts. They catered flawlessly to around 40 guests and yet it still felt like they were hosting you in their house. Bringing Malaysian food into the spotlight in the UK. More supper clubs please :D

S. E.

Makan Malaysia switched from supper clubs to selling their delicious food by post due to Covid. I've ordered this more than once and am constantly impressed - takes me right back to KL. I like the rendang and kari ayam, and am really excited to try the serunding in my next order. Cannot recommend highly enough!

S. C.

I had such a brilliant evening at the Makan Malaysia Supper Club in Henley. Susie + Kat created a really warm and welcoming atmosphere and attracted a lovely crowd of people to their event. I'd never tried Malaysian food before but I'm definitely a convert now as it was all delicious! I highly recommend the satay chicken skewers and the kaya ice cream was great too! I loved how Susie + Kat shared the background of the dishes with us. It was a great chance to meet new people in a relaxed and fun environment too!

N. M.

Their sambal is mind blowing and the London event was the best event I've been to in a while, Sue and Kat are so personal and it really made me feel like I was in Malaysia. There was so much delicious food and I cant wait for their next one !!

D. D.

This is an amazing place. The food is just incredible. You need to try this! The people that run it are great and the food is sooo good. If you are looking for something new/different and you haven't tried Malaysian food this will open you eyes.

A. P. Z.

Incredible food. Tastes just like home and the portions are really generous. Well worth the drive to Reading! Thanks Sue & Kat!

S. B.

Really really amazing! The dishes I brought reminded me so much of what I had when I was younger in Malaysia. I brought this for my mother’s birthday and they even put a lovely note in for her!

J. B.

Always such incredibly friendly people, whether in person or virtually and even leave sweet notes in the packages ♥️ The food is always gorgeous and high quality and, as someone who someone who often has low energy, it's always fantastic to have essentially comforting home-cooked meals in the fridge/freezer.

For my 70th birthday, I wanted to show case Malaysian cuisines to family and friends. I contacted Makan Malaysia for outside catering. Due to the distance involved, the delivery service was arranged. We settled on 4 course menu, Chicken Satay, Nasi Lemak, Beef Rendang and Madeleines. All food apart from the coconut rice were prepared and cooked, chilled and delivered by next day delivery. All well packed. Serving dishes of palm leaf plates with banana leaves and bamboo forks and spoons were supplied together with serving instructions and menu card. It made my event very professional. All food went down well with the guests considering they have little knowledge of Malaysian cuisines. They were all in awed with different textures and tastes of different components of Nasi Lemak. I was pleased and proud to be able to show case our Malaysian food. Thank you, Sue and Kat.

m. g.

I've had food from Makan Malaysia a few times and at a couple of foodie events. The authenticity and quality is second to none. Though it's optional, if you like a kick, some of their sauces pack a serious heat punch, if you like a more aromatic experience then there are plenty of dishes to fit the bill, the Laksa is our favourite, a great dish for two. Delightful food, prepared with quality ingredients, what's not to like!

J. S.

Love the nasi lemak etc. All items ordered arrived promptly. Definitely, I will be ordering from you both again. All the best 🙂

H. A.

Makan Malaysia have some surprisingly traditional Malay dishes on their menu and they all taste amazing. The vegetarian alternative options are also just as good. A great panacea for when I'm homesick!

K. H.

Home cooked authentic Malaysian food sent straight to your door! Ordering on their website is super easy, when the delivery came the food was packaged so well, safely and presented beautifully with heating instructions that are easy to follow. The food itself is just like being back at home again (I’m a fellow Malaysian). I wanted to introduce Malaysian food to my partner and this was such a lovely way for him to experience it during a national lockdown. We are vegetarian and they cater to veggie or vegan needs. The team are also so lovely, professional and responsive when communicating. Absolutely great value and really practical way to eat well if you’re working crazy long hours, have your rice cooker on and all you need to do is heat up a nourishing tasty meal!

S. K.

Makan Malaysia has always been very generous with their orders. I recently ordered some satays for a party and they did not disappoint. The satay portions were generous and came with nasi impit, peanut sauce, cucumbers and onions are vaccuum packed, pre-cooked and ready for re-heat for my party. It saved me a lot of time and my guests gave rave reviews about the satays! Thanks Makan Malaysia!

B. S.

Had the noodle bundle, quite pricey for the quantities. £32.99 for wantan mee for 2 and a smallish packet of char kway teow with a few prawns in it. The box was well packaged and cooled. If anything, too much packaging and cooling bags, not enough food. You have a fair amount of prep for the wantan mee. The flavour wasn't really to my taste, too mushroomy. I enjoyed the char kway teow more, also not much prep - just a quick heat up. Shame the portion size was just about enough for 2, with only 2-3 prawns each. Overall, it made a change, but I didn't think it was so good as to make it worth the cost.

s. s.

Ordered for nationwide delivery, responsive to online queries, arrived promptly when expected, well packed. Easy clear instructions for heating, and very authentic and tasty - the chicken rendang took me back to being home in KL!

R. M.

I ordered some of the dishes online through an offer I had. Absolutely loved it! Will be ordering more as Otis great, authentic Malaysian food. I am from Malaysia and struggle to find Malaysian food outside of London but this will now be my go to.

L. F.

Really delicious food that we could not fault! Generous portions which is great when you're feeling particularly greedy 😋. Highly recommend.

R. D.

Amazing authentic Malaysian food with a loving home-cooked feel. I've seen these guys at several popups but since relocating I now do online orders. Their meal bundles are superb value for money and I know whatever I order it's going to taste great. Delivery is quick and very well packaged. P.S. The fritters are insane, even when reheating them in the oven!

L. K.

The food transported me instantly back home to Malaysia. Loved every dish we had.

P. R.

Ever since I visited Malaysia and discovered their delectable cuisine especially Nasi Lemak. I have been hooked. Makan Malaysia brings that same fresh burst of flavour to your home. A good Nasi Lemak can often be judged by the quality of its sambal. And here the girls have made a proper highly fresh, mouthwatering and punchy sambal. From here on the rest of their dishes which are carefully curated and freshly prepared score point after point. The vegans have their own excellent choices but for me the Makan Mesar bundle with the Nasi Lemak is best. Chicken Kapitan is my favourite while my wife prefers the equally scrumptious Beef Rendang. I prefer to buy loads of their dishes and store in the fridge and enjoy it one at a time with freshly prepared rice either normal steamed rice or my personal favourite the Malaysian Coconut Milk Rice. All in all a treat for myself or when I have friends over and we can recreate the restaurant experience at home. And have I mentioned the packaging. It is of a very high quality to ensure your food is delivered fresh and chilled. These are amazingly well thought out and hard working girls and full credit to them for running a Malaysian eating experience unlike anyother.

C. A.

I have just tried the ikan bilis from these ladies and even after arriving a week ago, it was still very crunchy. Thank you Su and Kat. The level of detail you took to packaging and ensuring that the items I ordered arrived impeccably is something you need commending for. I love you already. Can't wait to try my asam fish tonight. I also appreciate the storing and warming up instruction that came with my delivery. Even though, I've never met these ladies, I can feel the Malaysian warmth from their emails and messages. Keep up the good work!

L. J.

Sue and Kat hosted a supper club at my house, and wowed my guests with awesome delicious Malaysian food. Made for a really special evening and allowed me to focus on entertaining my guests. They were able to accommodate a couple of my guests who had special dietary requirements, and left the kitchen spotless - probably cleaner than they found it. Thoroughly recommend, great fun :-)

J. C.

Kat and Sue made absolutely delicious canapés for my birthday, Samosas, Spring Rolls and Chicken Satay. Food was delicious. They even brought extra sauces which was really nice and not expected. They arrived exactly on time as asked for and were ever so friendly. They even brought a birthday card. Would I use them again? ABSOLUTELY!

S. S.

I’ve now been to two of the Makan Malaysia supper nights and have thoroughly enjoyed myself both times. The food is both authentic and delicious. The hosts are fantastic, and make the whole process seem effortless. A top night all round, and a real treat for the tastebuds! Thanks Sue and Kat. I’ll be back for thirds!

T. F.

If you haven’t experienced these two wonderful girls cooking then I really recommend you do. You don’t often try new and delicious food sensations and ingredients but with these two’s extensive travels and searches every dish is a revaluation. All served with incredible enthusiasm and the biggest smiles. Such a pleasure to have come across them. Can’t wait to be thrilled by their culinary expertise and passion again.

S. A.

When I first heard of this company I was hopeful, and on delivery of the first sambal pot I was overjoyed. The tastes took me back to my childhood. Kat and Sue are professional in their approach and respond to queries thoughtfully. I highly recommend this company for a truly authentic taste of Malaysia.

D. A.

We have made orders to Makan Malaysia several times and always been delighted. The food is fun and delicious. We often buy a few meals and freeze one so we have emergency Malaysian food available! We are so happy we found them online. It's worth noting that is both always packed well and has thoughtful environment friendly packaging. Thanks!

M. B.

Enjoyed a pretty awesome banana leaf, thanks to the Makan Malaysia team. As someone who has eaten banana leaf a *lot*, having lived in Malaysia for a number of years, I can personally attest to the authenticity of the dining experience. The kaya ice cream that followed was excellent (and triggered kopitiam memories..). But food aside, the social aspect of bringing people together for a shared occasion was a great idea - in other words, it was fun.

C. P.

Love Makan Malaysia! Great food and amazingly welcoming hosts. Wonderful total guest experience from start to finish. Malaysian food is Asia on your plate: mix of native Malay/ Chinese and Indian influences. Sue & Kat deliver an authentic Kuala Lumpur dining experience.

S. L.

I’ve been a long time fan of Sue and Kat’s, their delicious food and infectious energy. I attend every event possible from supper clubs to market stalls. I recently enjoyed their mushroom rendang with sambal, and banana fritters for pud, at an event at Double Barrel Brewery and it knocked my socks off!! I couldn’t stop talking about my happy belly all night. I’d highly recommend Makan!!

S. L.

My evening at the pop up in Reading was one of my favourite evenings of recent years. The food was absolutely delicious: full of flavour, beautifully presented and authentic. Kat and Su had also created a calm, warm and welcoming atmosphere. Having sharing plates helped ensure interaction between customers, but that had already started as the ambience was just right. I not only had a fabulously tasty meal, but enjoyed the company of some interesting and lovely people.

G. L.

Ordered online a nasi lemak plus extras delivery to friends in Oxfordshire who used to live near the famous Adm Road nasi lemak in Singapore, and who missed it. Makan Malaysia;s version is as good as the famous one, the achar (pickles) and the rendang were very good, special mention of the good quality lean beef. Pandan madelines reminsicent of kueh baulu. Friendly proprietors are delightfully responsive and very on the ball in their replies. Turned out, friends had heard of the famous Makan Malysia in Reading, just never had the chance to visit, so heng heng, got online delivery service.

J. L.

Delicious food, great packaging and constantly kept in the loop. They are such a delight!

P. C.

Ordered a nasi lemak meal kit, all comes beautifully (and sustainably) packaged and ready to heat and eat. Generous portions of rendang, nuts and ikan bilis. Sambal flavour perfectly complemented all the flavours. A really lovely and authentic taste of home!!

J. L.

Amazing food. Great atmosphere. Friendly hosts. What an enjoyable evening. For someone who grew up in Malaysia this was the perfect cure for homesickness. The food was authentic and clearly cooked with love. Will be going again soon!

L. M.

Fantastic food for a birthday party (about 30 adults), really really delicious (Beef Rendang, Dhaal, Samosas and Spring Rolls) - all the guests loved it. Also very efficient and professional set up and clear up. Cannot recommend Makan Malaysia highly enough.

M. Y.

Kat and Sue did the food for my wife's birtday part (40 ish people). Food was incredible, both in terms of taste and presentation. They were happy to customise the catering approach to fit our needs and space, best of all they bring a friendly, cheerful and engaging style to the whole service. Kat, Sue (and their pot washer Luc ;o)) really made the event special, thank you!

J. F. G.

It is impossible to beat the authentic taste of the food, the enthusiasm of the chefs and the care that they take in everything that they do including the packaging of their food! Take a look at their mouthwatering online shop and I challenge any Malaysian food lover not to end up with a shopping cart list as long as your (virtual) arm!

R. D.

Epic Malaysian food delivered to your door. Authentic and tasty and I just keep ordering more and more. For a Malaysian like me it reminds me of home and I love it!

L. R.

Delicious food delivered to my door. Generous portions and great taste.

A really fun night out with such a delicious set of Malaysian courses! You will come out with a full tummy and a full heart! Kat and Su say "if you're still hungry or thirsty, our job isn't over". I would be back in a heartbeat!

Z. C. O.

Exceptional bunch - delicious authentic Malaysian food, and extremely professional and responsive. Highly recommended - and will definitely order again.

J. B.

We went to Lower Early so we could buy some of the food the two young lady's were very helpful and sincere Tonight we had the Currys which were bursting with flavor sensational taste and delicious would recommend buy and try from the lady's

R. C.

We ordered the meat feast for 2, along with the acar and both sambals from the website. The food was excellent and very easy to prepare. Highly recommended.

S.

Authentic flavours, a true taste of home for homesick Malaysians like me! 🥲 LOVE the fact that they deliver nationwide, especially since there are no local Malaysian restaurants near to me. Reasonably priced & very decent portions, love the jackfruit rendang, kari ayam, mushroom serunding (insane how it tastes exactly like the meat serunding), nasi lemak, sambal (proper hot sambal mmmkay) and looking forward to eating my lemang, chicken rendang & pineapple tarts for Raya tomorrow 🥰 Order from them, you really won’t regret it!

l. o.

No Asian food is complete without the sambal of Makanmalaysia

S. S.

What a perfect mix for the beer at Siren Craft Brew. The beef randeng was exceptional, all served up with exceptional service.

The rendang and ayam kapitan are absolutely delicious!! I know this cuisine very well from childhood and they are the real deal. Very easy to order and they arrived neatly and securely packaged in a recyclable cooler box, and virtually every bit of packaging is compostable or recyclable. Easy to re-heat and the most amazing Malaysian food!

L. S.

This was my first order with Makan Malaysia and I must admit that their food did not disappoint! Each dish we ordered was so tasty and authentic and it satisfied my cravings for Malaysian food 😋. Thank you Kat and Sue! Will be definitely ordering from you again 😊.

C. S.

We tried Plateway to order a Malaysian meal from Makanmalaysian. It all went smoothly and the meal arrived this morning. We had beef rendang and kapitan chicken with coconut rice. It was delicious! Not too spicy. It was easy to prepare and heat up. It took us back to happy times in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia 🇲🇾

L. A.

Have been habitually ordering from them for a few years now, and every single dish I have ordered has been absolutely fantastic and really hits the spot as a Malaysian who has been away from home for 10 years. Their recent addition of Char Kuey Teow is my current favourite, and I always have a stock of sambal and serunding in my freezer. At a low point during lockdown when homesickness was particularly intense, I organised an off-menu dish (lemang) and they were so professional about everything once I had the minimum order. Their packaging is eco-friendly which is important to me and their shipping is precise. Never had an issue in any of the times I've ordered, you really see the care they put into everything they do. Jom Makan.....sedaaAAAAAAp!
