Looks like you won’t have to travel to Penang for your favourite Char Kuey Teow or Nasi Kandar anymore thanks to AirAsia food. The food delivery service in the AirAsia Super App is introducing a new interstate delivery which leverages its close proximity with AirAsia to bring the best of Penang to select areas in the Klang Valley.
You’ll be able to order your favourite Halal meals from Hameed Pata, Mee Goreng Sotong from Bangkok Lane, jeruk madu from Pak Ali’s Jeruk Campur, Nyonya Kuih from Li Er Cafe, Nasi Kandar from Hameediyah, White Curry Mee, Char Koay Teow and Hokkien Mee from Bee Hwa Cafe and non-halal meals from Tiger Char Koay Teow, or even 888 Hokkien Mee Jalan Iradiwati with more options coming in the future.
You won’t be able to order your cravings willy nilly though, instead, orders will need to be made in advance. These options will come with a schedule for delivery. Orders can be placed until 5 pm the day before the scheduled delivery with the option to order up to 30 days in advance. You won’t be paying for a plane ticket either, delivery will cost MYR5.99 per order.
