Merdeka & Malaysia Day: A Foodie Roundup Worth Celebrating

What’s Merdeka and Malaysia Day without food? From nasi lemak to strawberry matcha lattes, Malaysians prove one thing year after year, our love for makan is the real glue holding us together.

Whether it’s old-school kopitiam vibes or viral snacks that blow up on TikTok, the food scene here is as colourful as our culture.

Local Favourites That Never Fail

You know the drill. Nasi lemak with fragrant sambal, crispy roti canai, and a plate of smoky char kuey teow fresh from the wok. Comfort food, national pride, and forever top picks on foodpanda, no surprise there.

What’s Trending on Our Plates

Matcha isn’t new, but Malaysians are leveling it up. Think strawberry matcha latte that’s all over Insta, or Korean fried chicken that still has us in a chokehold. Crunchy, saucy, and perfect with fries, these are the meals that can turn any bad day around.

Sweet Treats, Local Style

Forget imported desserts, tau fu fah and cendol will always hit different. Smooth, refreshing, and just sweet enough to keep you going. A local dessert isn’t just food, it’s a mood.

Timeless Malaysian Sips

Teh tarik and Milo ais. Period. They’ve been around forever, and no new “drink of the month” can dethrone them. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, supper, they fit every vibe.

From hawker stalls to trending cafes, Malaysians don’t play when it comes to food. And if you’re too lazy to queue, foodpanda’s got your cravings sorted. This Merdeka & Malaysia Day, they’re rolling out SYOK deals, pick-up promos, and even a chance to win a Proton X50.

Because honestly, what better way to celebrate independence than with food that makes us feel at home?
