About Go Makan

We Live To Makan.

Go Makan is a Malaysian food guide for people who plan their day around the next meal. We write about the dishes, the hawker stalls and the kopitiam corners that make every state taste different.

Food is how Malaysians say hello.

Ask any Malaysian for directions and you will probably get a food recommendation too. That habit is the heart of Go Makan.

We explain where a dish comes from, what goes into it and where locals go to eat it, so you can order like a regular whether you are in Penang, Kota Bharu or Kuching.

🍜

Every dish explained

History, ingredients and the little details that make a plate taste right.

🗺️

Every state covered

From Perlis to Sabah, because laksa in Penang is not laksa in Sarawak.

🤝

Every kitchen welcome

Malay, Chinese, Indian, Peranakan, Kadazan, Iban. One table, every flavour.
