Questions around this news
Where is the new outlet, and what can visitors buy there?
The outlet is in Food District, a food hall on Level 3 of the Departure Floor at gateway@klia2, Kuala Lumpur International Airport Terminal 2. Its menu includes Asean dishes, coffee, drinks, cheesecake and ready-to-eat meals. The release lists selected meals at RM14 and describes a limited-time offer pairing a nasi lemak purchase with a latte for RM5.
How many ready-to-eat meals did the company sell in 2024?
The release reports that the company sold more than half a million ready-to-eat units in 2024. It says the products are also distributed through restaurants, convenience stores and retail chains, and describes the new airport outlet as another place to buy them. Some meals use freeze-dried technology and can be prepared hot in minutes.
What does freeze-dried technology do in ready-to-eat meals?
Freeze-drying removes water from frozen food by turning ice directly into vapor under low-pressure conditions. This can make food lighter and shelf-stable while helping preserve its structure and flavor. To serve a freeze-dried meal, consumers typically add hot water or otherwise follow the preparation directions on its packaging.
What is a food hall?
A food hall is a shared dining venue that brings together multiple food and drink vendors in one space. It may offer communal seating and a varied choice of cuisines, allowing visitors to select items from different vendors. Food halls are often located in busy commercial or transport settings.
