Wednesday marks the beginning of a new foodie journey in Malaysia – the launch of UberEATS Malaysia!

Yes Malaysians, the app that the rest of the world has been raving about (including our neighbour, Singapore) is finally here. Whenever you’re craving for something and just don’t have the mood to endure the traffic jam and worse, finding a parking spot, the app is here to put an end to your woes.

The app is now ready to be used and is only available at certain areas of Kuala Lumpur CBD, Bangsar, and Damansara Heights so far. Don’t worry, UberEATS is planning to expand the locations of delivery soon and will be in your area in no time.

We know, you might be thinking why should you jump on the UberEATS bandwagon and start ordering away? So, here are our top five reasons:

#1 Flat Delivery Rate, No Minimum Order

*BRB studying the UberEATS app*
Imagine having access to all of your favourite food be it nasi kandar or Krispy Kreme doughnuts and get them delivered right to your doorstep! For a low fee of RM5, your favourite meal will be delivered to you. Best part about it? No minimum order! So, if your boyfriend doesn’t want to layan your ice cream craving, UberEATS is here to help.

#2 Halal and Non-Halal Food Bags

You can order with confidence!
Since we live in a multi-racial country, naturally all sorts of food will be available on the app. UberEATS is aware of the halal and non-halal food issue that may arise, so they have conveniently come up with a solution, segregated packaging! Two different UberEATS bags will be used to deliver both types of food. The company has worked closely with JAKIM to ensure that the food is handled in a proper way including its delivery methods.

#3 Order From 200 Restaurant Partners

Time is to precious to waste time on finding parking spots!
There’s all sorts of food you can find on the app, from your local favourites such as Nasi Lemak Antarabangsa, banana leaf rice, nasi kandar, to western flavours – Mikey’s Original New York Pizza, and even desserts!

#4 You Can Track Where Your Food Is

Who else is excited to track your food?!
Just like the Uber app, you can track the movement of your food. You’ll get real-time updates and know if it’ll be arriving soon!

#5 Get Food Delivered According to Your Schedule

You can even order when you're stuck in a jam.
Want your food to be piping hot by the moment you arrive home from work? Well you can also order in advance and pick delivery times! This way, you can conveniently schedule your meals and even surprise whoever’s at home. According to UberEATS, the initial delivery time takes about 35 minutes from start to finish.

UberEATS is available on the Apple app store and Google Play store. You can even enjoy free delivery for the first three orders with the promo code: KLTASTY. The code is valid until 21 October 2017.
