Meals that rebuild refugee lives

PichaEats

Engage and converse with refugees over traditional meals at the PichaEats' Open House, which help refugees earn a livelihood.

THE DIFFERENCE YOU MAKE

You provide refugees with an opportunity to not just showcase their culture, food and heritage, but also give them a chance at a sustainable livelihood. PichaEats pays its chefs 50 per cent of the sales from each meal. 

Read our Weekend of Good guide to Kuala Lumpur for more travel tips and ideas. 

Watch our story on PichaEats to see their impact in action.

Getting there

PichaEats provides the addresses of the Open Houses when bookings are confirmed. Locations vary and it may be best to book a Grab if you are unfamiliar with the city.
