❤️Selamat Hari Merdeka! 🇲🇾❤️

What better way to celebrate Malaysia’s National Day (31st August) than with the dish we honestly couldn’t do without—Nasi Lemak with Chicken Rendang.

Think fluffy coconut rice cooked with all the aromatics, our house-made, gloriously moreish sambal, and that slow-cooked, traditional chicken rendang that just… does things to your soul. We also include some extra steamed greens alongside those refreshing cucumber slices.

So many of you have asked us to bring nasi lemak back, and we listened. It’s up on our specials board this whole week—so come grab yours at Kantan while it lasts. ❤️

Catered a client’s son’s 21st birthday with our Celebration Bundle. A beautiful home set-up, home-style Malaysian food, and the loveliest clients who made me feel like one of the guests. Moments like this remind me why I love what I do. ✨🍛”

Not to be dramatic, but this laksa might just be the reason Melbourne survives winter. 🌿🍜 Meat, seafood or vegan options aplenty.

Such a fabulous time catering for the screening of Pacukka at the Research Lounge, Melbourne Uni — beautifully organised by Syaza, Nabhila, and Catherine as part of the 'Air Means Water' exhibition.

The project shines a light on shared and divergent histories of migration, colonial inheritance, and cultural identity, featuring works by Agnes Christina, Fyerool Darma, Amrita Hepi, Megan McPherson, Patriot Mukmin, and Shahmen Suku. ✨

The exhibition runs all through August — check the final panel for the Public Programs Calendar and come be part of the conversation.

Left with a full heart, new acquaintances, and the joy of being part of something truly important. 💛

Flipping through our trusty recipe books, I stumbled upon an Ottolenghi-inspired gem I just had to share—with my own little spin, naturally 😉. Ultra-silky tofu lounging in a zesty marmalade-soy-calamansi dressing, generously sprinkled with crunchy pistachios, peanuts, and crisp sugar-snap shards. Soft meets snappy, bright meets creamy - sunshine vibes in a dish, perfect for chasing away Melbourne’s winter blues! Meet Sunrise Tofu, shining on our specials board. Vegan, gluten-free, and sooo yum! 🌞✨

Our current specials? A little bit fun, a little bit fancy, and totally irresistible.

1. Roti Jala: our delicate Malaysian net crepe with a rich chicken curry.

2. Kerabu Pomelo: a zesty pomelo salad with scorched prawns, herbs, toasted coconut, peanuts, and a sweet-tangy dressing.

3. Roti Halloumi: crispy roti layered with fried halloumi and our house-made jam — salty, sweet, and everything in between. An instant hit!

Slide through and pick your fave… or don’t. Order them all Tonight’s specials? 🤭😄❤️

Melbourne’s been a scorcher lately, but we’ve got the perfect dishes to keep you cool—light curries, fresh salads and bold tropical flavours. Pair it with an ice-cold lychee or teh tarik and you’re set! 🍹❄️ keep cool guys and hope to see you soon! ❤️

Hi guys, we are now closed for the holiday season and will reopen on the 7th of Jan
🌞
Thank you for all your support since we reopened in september. It was a big learning curve starting up a business again, with a small albeit amazing team and a big menu, but Im glad we've done it.
🌞
It was so lovely to see familiar faces as well as new ones enjoying our humble cultural food. Thank you! I hope to share more home-style recipes in the new year with you all. Wait for it, okay? In the meantime, have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

❤️
Hisham

Kantan Malaysian Catering

KANTAN was born out of the love of Malaysian food and culture. We offer eclectic Malaysian flavours using recipes right out of the 'kampungs' (villages) that are delicious yet hard to find outside of Malaysia. 'Kantan' is a Malay name for the bright pink ginger torch flower, which is commonly used in traditional Malay and Peranakan dishes of Malaysia such as 'Assam Laksa' and 'Nasi Kerabu'. The flower has a very distinct fragrance and adds a peppery zing to any dish. Majestic and very Malaysian. In the 'kampungs', food are often times cooked to accommodate large families and neighbours together. We at KANTAN hope to recreate this social atmosphere when friends get together to catch up over good food.
