More Malaysians eat out nowadays but are we eating enough healthy food?


Spoilt for choice: A recent study conducted by Taylor's University to observe the eating habits and food cultures of the Malaysian population found that almost one out of every two meals is eaten out.

MALAYSIA is a country of foodies where we ask friends “Have you eaten?” as a form of greeting and often plan trips not based on places we want to see, but places where we want to eat.

But did you know that more than 64% of Malaysians eat at least one meal per day outside of home? And of the remaining 36% who eat at home, 12.5% have at least one meal that comes from outside.
