🗣️Some people may say we have trust issues because we don't want to send any parcels out during the week of Christmas... but we really just want to make sure everything gets to you safely and in time for the holidays! Oh, and we also do have trust issues too... 🤪 We all know everything gets a lil hectic this time if year with the postal service (and just life in general) which is why this is THE LAST WEEK FOR YOU TO ORDER from us! Orders need to be placed by this Sunday for delivery next Thursday 16th December 😱🧑‍🎄
⁠
Pictured are our Chillimas Crackers that finally made it onto our shop! They come as a set of 6 specially designed (by us, pls be nice) and ready-to-roll crackers with 3 mini jars of sambal, Malaysian fun facts, paper crowns and a whole mix of Malaysian childhood sweets to fill them with! Perfect for spicing things up this Christmas 🔥🌶️🔥🌶️⁠

Reading this made us cry!! 😭 “This business is run by two amazing best friends from Malaysia who did supper clubs pre-covid but have adapted like no other. Now they do postal food, kitchen takeaways, supper clubs and markets serving food for all diets. But not only this, they are true supporters of other local businesses, they hold their supper clubs in small local venues, and have even set up an online shop selling all kinds of amazing items from local independent businesses. They’re a fabulous part of the community and deserve to be celebrated. Not only are they doing well for their business but bringing other Reading businesses with them, sharing their experience and enabling sales.” ⁠
⁠
🥰🥰WE ARE FULLLLLL OF LOVE! Thank you so much to the person who wrote this and nominated us! We are so humbled that you notice us and what we're doing. We're so proud to be part of the Reading indie scene, it's such an awesome community. ⁠

This picture memory popped up on our phones last week and it made us think about where we were this time last year:⁠
1️⃣ We turned ourselves into Makan reindeers⁠
2️⃣ We just moved into our new kitchen⁠
3️⃣ We were just about to launch our Christmas range including our Crazzzayyy and Crackin' crackers!⁠
⁠
And now:⁠
1️⃣ We have Chillimas Santa as our Makan mascot⁠
2️⃣ Our kitchen is fully operational and are even sharing it with other indie businesses [check our @propertakeout , their food is outta this worldddd]⁠
3️⃣ Our Christmas crackers have had a revamp with a new bespoke print, Malaysian sweets and fun facts!⁠
⁠
It's crazy to think how much has changed and so much has happened but at the same time things are still the same.... so same same but different lah! ⁠
⁠

🌈COLOUR FRIDAY is our new favourite day of the

🌈COLOUR FRIDAY is our new favourite day of the year! And it's about supporting indie businesses instead of purchasing from big businesses. Here are a couple of points from @hollytucker , because she is much better informed that we are:⁠
⁠
🌈If everyone bought one more Christmas gift from an independent business this year, we'd reallocate a vital £2.7 BILLION pounds between all of us.⁠
⁠
🌈@whichuk magazine recently found that 90% of black friday deals were actually the same price or cheaper in the six months before black friday ⁠
⁠
🌈when you shop small you're buying originality, supporting British independents, showing imagination.. giving a gift from an independent shows that you've put real thought and care into your gift. ⁠
⁠
Thank you Holly for creating this and giving a voice for to all of us!⁠
⁠

We love creating colourful food like this pineapple, chilli and blue spirulina kombucha hand made by @sambuchakombucha , our amazing indie biz friend 💙💙💙 Makan Christmas vouchers on sale until Monday, head over to our website to get yours https://makanmalaysia.co.uk/products?swoof=1&woof_text=voucher⁠

👩🏻‍🍳🥄We've been having so much fun experimenting (read: cooking, failing, eating, repeating, winning) with kuih lately and have been serving them at our pop up events like this one pictured at last week's mezze night at @chaptercaversham!⁠ ⁠
⁠
A change of plans means that we will no longer be at Bristol this weekend for the Malaysian fair in Bristol, but it is still going ahead - check out @mcsbristol for more details! ⁠
⁠
You can still come and eat with us tomorrow night at @dbbrewery, we'll be serving up Devil's curry and a new market for us on Sunday at the @cafmarket! We will be bringing lots of Christmas presents, stocking fillers and some amazing deals as part of black friday/weekend-- more will be announced soon!⁠

The cutie in the picture is Lucy, owner of @thedodomicropub in Hanwell and host for our final supper club and laksa event of the year! She is truly an inspiration, smashing it by winning awards in the food and drink industry, creating hilarious reels, building an awesome community in her pub AND running a business.

Yes, Kat's legs really are that long, she's practi

Yes, Kat's legs really are that long, she's practically a giant / one of those.... tall...things... I (sue) am not as good with my words as Kat is, and if you read last week's post, you'll know that Kat made fun of me for being short. So now it's my turn. Except that I'm not as witty, so I had to Google tall people jokes😅⁠
⁠
Hope you find this as entertaining as I do!⁠
------⁠
🤡What’s the difference between a clown and a tall person? Their shoe store.⁠
⁠
✈️What does a tall person do when they see an airplane coming? Duck.⁠
⁠
🥢How do you make a tall person look more awkward? You can’t.⁠
⁠
😁Every time a tall person bumps their head, somewhere a short person is smiling.⁠
--------⁠
⁠
All jokes aside, it is amazing that we've been remained friends this long and even run a business together. We figured out that the best way to keep our friendship healthy is by being honest with each other straight away, rather than keeping things in and letting it build up. So now we tell each other 'hard truths' followed by "i'm glad we can be honest with each other" and hope for the best 😬😅🤞🏼⁠
⁠
Tag someone you can be totally honest with / your best friend! ⁠
