Kantan Catering

Kantan Catering KANTAN offers private and corporate catering services, specialising in Malaysian food. Visit www.kantan.com.au
au Majestic and very Malaysian.

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. 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 for a night of fine dining, in a relaxed homey environment. Follow .catering on instagram and see what goes on in our kitchen. For catering inquiries, please email [email protected]

Cheers,

Here’s a little look at KANTAN just before the guests arrived last night. We hosted a private event to celebrate a milestone achievement.

The restaurant was divided into two areas. One had cocktail tables, where guests could mingle and have a bite and a drink before moving on to the dining area to have their fill of the buffet spread.

It was such a lovely night ❤️

Thank you and congratulations Harpreet.

Hey everyone,

Just a heads up — There is a planned power outage tonight, so we have to adjust our timing a little:

🍽️ Last dine-in order: 7:45pm
🥡 Last takeaway order: 8:15pm
🚪 We'll be closed by 8:30pm

Come early and grab your favourites before the lights shut off on us. Sorry for the short notice, apparently Kantan is the only property to be affected by this outage within the whole building. Thank you for understanding. See you back to normal tomorrow 🙏

We’re in The Age!

Kantan has been featured in Good Food’s guide to laksa in Melbourne — and our plant-based curry laksa was named their pick for vegan laksa.

Honestly? This one feels pretty special.
I developed this recipe during lockdown, for the Fitzroy community — many months of tinkering with veg stock, spice blends and chasing that perfect bowl. To see it recognised by Good Food now? Pretty chuffed! 🩷

Thank you to Good Food and Annie Hariharan for the interview.

One laksa, your way — choose your toppings: chicken, seafood, vegetables or fully vegan. Come find your bowl with us.
