About

Malay-Chan (マレーチャン) has been a fixture in Ikebukuro West (池袋西口) since 1989, and is the only Malaysian restaurant in Japan officially certified as a halal restaurant by JAKIM, Malaysia's national halal certification body. Owner Fukuzawa travels to Malaysia regularly and brings back dishes he wants to introduce to Japan, growing the menu to more than 140 items. In addition to halal options, the shop offers vegetarian and vegan menus, creating a space where everyone can enjoy a meal at the same table.

— The only JAKIM-certified Malaysian restaurant in Japan

Since opening in 1989, owner Mr. Fukuzawa has continued to visit Malaysia in person and bring back dishes he discovers there. The menu now includes more than 140 items. Representative dishes include "laksa (ラクサ)", a coconut milk and rice noodle soup, "nasi goreng (ナシゴレン)" fried rice, satay skewers (サテー), and a signature "Malay-Chan sauce (マレーチャンソース)" rich with shrimp flavor. The first shop "Malay-Chan 1" has been running for more than 27 years in Ikebukuro West (池袋西口). A second shop is in Higashi-Ikebukuro (東池袋), and a delivery and catering-only kitchen "Kitchen Malay-Chan" is also part of the group. As the only Malaysian restaurant in Japan officially certified as halal by JAKIM (Malaysia's national halal body), it is a rare place where Malaysian residents in Japan, Muslim customers, and vegan or vegetarian guests can share the same table.

“Fried Tempeh — A Plate of Ikebukuro Halal”

A Malaysian restaurant in Ikebukuro. It has obtained halal certification and offers vegan and vegetarian menu items 🌱 This time I had the "tempeh salad." Tempeh is an Indonesian-born soybean fermented food with a flavor like Japanese natto. Locally, it's mainly eaten fried. Crispy fried tempeh and leafy vegetables make a well-balanced dish. The salad dressing is sesame-based with a soothing flavor familiar to Japanese palates ✨ The menu has a rich variety and many large plates, so it seems ideal to visit with a group and share. When you want to enjoy a foreign-country vibe, please give it a try ☺️
