Food Delivery Services in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

(Image : foodpanda.my)

Especially on those lazy weekends I used to search for new food delivery services around; and always end up in ordering via those famous services like foodpanda, KFC Delivery or Pizzahut delivery. Since UberEATS already started in Malaysia, the battlefield is so active. Even though all of them provide same type of service, there are pros and cons including delivery charge, delivery time etc.

GrabFood

GrabFood is in town for bit long time and it was one of the main competitor for UberEats and foodpanda. Later, via some strategic deals, Ubder has handed over taxi hailing and food delivery services to Grab; read it here: Uber has sold its Southeast Asia operations to Grab. Since then GrabFood came into front row with their great list of restaurants to serve food. Like any other food delivery service in Malaysia, GrabFood is covering most of the known brands and local restaurants.

Also, recently, Grab has integrated this GrabFood service inside Grab itself; that means you don’t need to install separate app for this purpose; just that Grab app will help you to order food.
