Nak Makan brings Ramadan cheer with free meals to those in need

Nak Makan, a new online food service platform launched at the beginning of the Ramadan month by MY E.G. Services Berhad (MyEG), has delivered 5,611 of the 10,000 free meals it has committed to sponsor this Ramadan under the Nak Makan #KitaShare corporate social responsibility programme.

During the campaign period until the end of Ramadan on 23 May 2020, members of the public were invited to nominate an individual or charity organisation within the Klang Valley to receive the sponsored meal from a selection of vendors available on Nak Makan. The nominations were done on social media via Nak Makan’s Twitter, Instagram and Facebook pages. 

Celebrities including Neelofa, Awal Ashaari, Wany Hasrita, Deborah Henry, Datin Elaine Daly and finalists of the Miss Universe Malaysia 2020 Neha Verma, Yong Meei Yeng and Francisca Luhong took the time to nominate their preferred charity homes on social media.

Some of the charity homes that have received the free meals were Rumah Amal Limpahan Kasih, a home nominated by Awal Ashaari that provides shelter for orphans, single mothers, senior citizens and the underprivileged (asnaf zakat); and Rumah Kasih Nurul Hasanah, a hostel and transit home for orphans, the underprivileged, single mothers and senior citizen in Ampang nominated by Neelofa.

Other beneficiaries of the free meals were residents of PPR Kg.Baru HICOM, PPR Lembah Subang 1 & 2, Perumahan Awam Seri Negeri Sembilan in Sentul, refugee children of Sunway Mentari Learning Centre and Manna House Learning Centre, refugees and asylum seekers from ElSheddai and the Somali Refugee Community. 

Nak Makan offers a selection of Ramadan favourites by food vendors located across Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, Putrajaya and Johor.

Customers can place an order on Nak Makan website and have the food delivered from the vendor’s premises to the customers by Nak Makan delivery partner MrSpeedy.

Some of the food vendors available on Nak Makan include Las Vacas Steakhouse, the Filling Station, Bangsar Fish Head Corner, Sedap Malam Station, Super Boring Club, Putu Mayam Warisan Bonda Enterprise, Roti John Tonggek, De’rul’s Kitchen, Spag Me, Tealive Aeon Big Ampang, Sangkaya Wangsa Walk, Waka Waka Gelato and Fook Yeah.
