KUALA LUMPUR, Jan. 7 -- Famous Malaysian food influencer and entrepreneur Khairul Aming has officially launched his much-awaited restaurant, Rembayung, and it is living up to the hype.

The 8,000-square-foot restaurant, located in Kampung Baru, welcomed its first batch of customers yesterday, which is also a sentimental date for the 33-year-old entrepreneur.

"Today Rembayung opened its doors to 450 customers (120 reservations).

"It is also a sentimental date for me because it is on the same date as when we launched our first Sambal Nyet five years ago.

"Look how far we've come together guys, thank you so much," Khairul wrote via Threads, adding that he and his team were all nervous and excited for the grand opening.
