Four roles. One platform. Whether you want to eat, host, guide, or be a foodie buddy — here's exactly how everything works.
LetsMakan is a marketplace. Travellers pay for experiences that Hosts, Guides and Foodie Buddies create. The platform handles everything in between.

Who is this for?
A food lover who wants to experience Malaysia through authentic local meals — not just restaurants. You book experiences, attend them, and leave honest reviews.
Requirements
Earnings
Sign up with Google in seconds. Your identity stays protected — personal details are only shared with a host after a confirmed booking.
Explore authentic home-cooked dining experiences and curated food trails across Malaysia. Filter by price, location, or type.
Pick an available slot, enter your guest count, and complete checkout via credit card or FPX. All payments go through Stripe — your card details are never stored on our platform.
Immediately after payment is confirmed, you'll receive a unique 6-digit check-in code. Find it on your Bookings page. This code is your proof of attendance.
Arrive at the agreed time and location. Share your 6-digit code with your host or guide to check in. Then sit back, eat, and enjoy authentic Malaysian food culture.
After the experience is marked complete, you'll be able to rate and review it. Your feedback helps great hosts and guides get discovered by more travellers.
