Let’s be real, money has always been a concern for most people. Especially after the pandemic and local natural disasters, many people have been attempting to budget better and tighten their belts. Well, a month ago, the government launched an initiative to help with that.
Early February, the Menu Rahmah program was introduced. According to the initiative, local restaurants and food stalls operators would voluntarily provide well-balanced, daily meals (either lunch or dinner) which should not exceed RM5.00 per meal. Plenty of F&B owners have since joined the initiative, including these five fast food restaurants!
1. McDonald’s
It was recently reported that McDonald’s has launched their Menu Rahmah. Customers can choose between two burgers, a bowl of porridge and each meal comes with an iced tea.
2. Burger King
If you’ve a craving Burger King, you can now get one meal of a chicken or beef burger and a bottle of water for RM5. The menu is allegedly available all day long and can be found at most branches in West Malaysia.
3. Texas Chicken
Texas Chicken launched their Menu Rahmah on 7th March. Notably enough, the menu is only available from 12pm to 3pm and is not available at branches in KLCC, KLIA and Genting. Also, one cannot order Menu Rahmah via their food delivery app or be ordered with coupons.
4. A&W
A&W’s Rooty Rahmah Menu is available all day with three different options of a cheese burger, chicken burger or a fish sandwich. However, it is unfortunately not available in East Malaysia, or via delivery platforms.
5. Marrybrown
Marrybrown’s menu offers a choice of either a burger or a rice bowl with water. But, do note that the Marrybrown’s Menu Rahmah is only available from 12pm to 2pm and 6pm and 8pm. Also, it is not available in branches at Genting Highland, Sunway Lagoon, Johor Premium Outlets and at airports.
Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister Datuk Seri Salahuddin Ayub has reportedly added that more companies are intending to join the initiative, including Pizza Hut. In the meantime, feel free to enjoy the rest of these meals!
Bonus:
6. OLDTOWN White Coffee
OLDTOWN White Coffee’s Menu Rahmah has their signature nasi lemak on the menu, with a glass of lime drink. Notably enough their plain nasi lemak is actually worth RM4.50 while meals with sausage and minced chicken are priced at RM5. But, this menu is not available at certain branches and cannot be found at branches in airports.
7. KFC
