During our search, we may have missed out the restaurants or it may not have been open at the time. We are constantly looking to update our database. If you have the information of a restaurant that isn’t already listed in our site, we encourage you to submit this information at this page.
Due to the large volume of listings that we have, we may have missed out some information or made some minor mistakes. If you know any information to be inaccurate, we encourage you to submit the correct information at this page.
We are planning to open up more regions in the near future, and eventually cover the whole of Malaysia. Meanwhile, we are also adding new restaurants to the listing for the Klang Valley.
