Meal kits can be a good starting place for those who don’t know what to cook or how to portion ingredients. This means skipping the grocery shopping, especially during this pandemic.
There are meal kits like Chef’ Up and BoxAhead offering widely-found recipes, but since 2020 we’ve been seeing restaurants hop on the trend too.
So, we’ve compiled a list of restaurants in Klang Valley offering meal kits that let you recreate their dishes from home. This list is non-exhaustive and covers ones that we could find enough information about.
All the kits listed below come with a set of cooking instructions for you to follow as well.
