The Bahasa Malaysia-language website provides an opportunity to serve our Malay-speaking fans with hyper-localised content,\u201d said Rohit Tharani, Head of Products, Southeast Asia in DNAP. \u201cThis move marks our commitment to make it even more accessible for the Malaysian community to get inspiration and recipes in their native language to create quick and delicious Asian-inspired home-cooked meals.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The site ensures ease in joining the AFN community, where it is simple for users to register an account, bookmark favourite content pieces, get nutritional information and participate in food conversations through comments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The community can also look forward to engaging with well-loved ambassadors from Southeast Asia, including Malaysia\u2019s very own celebrity chef Ili Sulaiman, and exciting bite-sized content and partnerships with like-minded brands in the months to come.<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, AFN created a content series with Foodpanda in Malaysia this year to highlight popular local and festive dishes for Ramadan and share exciting promotions with the community. The campaign reached over three million Malaysians across multiple platforms.<\/span><\/p>\n
