After a stressful day at work, many people do not want to spend their free time in the kitchen preparing dinner – and this is when food delivery services come in handy. In this digital era, more options are emerging to order food online and get it delivered right to your doorstep. Here are some options for online food delivery in Malaysia:
1. foodpanda
foodpanda is perhaps one of the best-known known online food delivery services in Malaysia and across Asia, with a presence in many Asian countries like India, Thailand and Vietnam. It has partnered with close to 800 restaurants in Malaysia to provide a wide range of dishes to choose from.
Ordering from foodpanda is fairly simple. First, you have to choose your area after which a list of restaurants will be displayed. You can then narrow down the list based on cuisine, budget and other restaurant features like vegetarian, halal, organic, accept online payments, etc, then you will be taken to a menu once you select a restaurant where you can select the dishes that you want and then you can click on the “order now” option to enter relevant information. Then choose between delivery and pick-up options if the restaurant offers them.
Delivery charges of RM5 apply to almost all orders, and you can pay by cash for all deliveries; your food will typically arrive to your door within 40 minutes. Once the order is confirmed, you will receive a text message on your phone confirming the order. The website has an extensive help section and an option to call them up in case you are facing any trouble.

2. Dah Makan
Dahmakan offers a selection of three or four healthy dishes each day, which you order at least one day in advance for lunch. This system makes it a lot simpler for you to enjoy lunch within your break without having to waste half the time waiting for your food to be prepared.
The website is fairly simple to use. You’re presented with a menu for each day with three to four dishes ranging between RM18 to RM20. If you prefer, you can also subscribe to meal packages in advance so you don’t have to worry about what you’re going to eat every day. For payment, they accept credit and debit cards, online banking, and cash on delivery, so you have plenty of options. For now, there are no delivery charges so that’s a big plus with ordering from Dah Makan.
The food itself tastes decent and arrives still warm. There’s usually a Western meal, Ssian meal, and a vegetarian option to cater for variety of eaters each day. One thing to remember, though, is that you should order a day in advance because dishes for the day are usually sold out when we check in every morning. Currently, DAh Makan only serves Kuala Lumpur.

5. Ordering directly from restaurant websites in Malaysia
There are many fast food restaurants in Malaysia that let your order from their online menu, and they deliver your order to your doorstep. Below are some restaurant chains that allow you to order food online and provide delivery services to your home in Malaysia. You can click on the links below to jump to their Malaysian website.
Again, these just some of the restaurants that let you order online. However, most restaurants do not offer round-the-clock delivery services and their entire menu may not be available online. As a side note, of all these restaurants, Nando’s is the only one we know that will deliver your orders in eco-friendly bags. Many of these restaurants offer delivery in any states where they have an outlet.
