You can’t go wrong with an app created by the subsidiary of entertainment heavyweight Media Prima. If the name sounds familiar, it is because Jalan Jalan Cari Makan (the app) is based on the popular TV show of the same name.
When it’s makan time, use the app to search for a restaurant in your vicinity, either in English or Bahasa Malaysia. If you are feeling adventurous, choose one from their list of featured restaurants (updated weekly) or just go with one of their picks.
Some of the eateries listed have been featured on the TV show, so you can find videos of the host Naz making his recommendations. Keywords below each listing describe its halal status and the type of cuisine served, so you can decide your pick of the day at a glance.
Besides the usual features that allow you to read and share comments, bookmark your selections, and share to social media, you can also download and redeem promo codes within the app itself.
Our favourite promo is the one that offers a free Uber ride to your selected eatery so you don’t have to drive there yourself. That means you’d be able to grab a beer two, which is always nice.
