Munchi Pancakes Malaysia 2026: First Outlet, Location and Date

What Munchi Malaysia has actually confirmed

Munchi Pancakes Malaysia opened its Instagram account on 18 September 2026 with three posts: an "Akan Datang" poster, a line calling it Singapore's favourite halal apam balik and saying it is coming to Malaysia, and a promise of flavours "ranging from traditional to exciting new". On 29 September it posted a teaser in Malay saying the brand with more than 40 outlets wants to open a shop in Malaysia and asked followers to guess where. That is the whole official record. No address, no date, no ringgit prices.

Munchi's Singapore website does not mention Malaysia at all. Its locations page lists 42 outlets, every one of them in Singapore. If you want the back story on the brand, we covered why Munchi made its Pistachio Kunafa flavour permanent last month.

Where it is going: the JB clue

A 10 October collab post by the creator @cwlovebrinjal, published with Munchi Malaysia as a co-author so it appears on Munchi's own grid, says Munchi Pancakes is coming to Johor Bahru, Malaysia, at AEON Tebrau, opening in October. Under the 29 September guessing post, the first two guesses were also AEON Tebrau. Munchi has let that sit without correcting it, which is as close to a yes as you get before the official post.

Our read: JB first, not KL. AEON Tebrau City is the big mall on the Tebrau side of JB that Singaporeans already drive up to on weekends, so the first Malaysian Munchi is aimed at both sides of the Causeway. The October date is the shaky part. It is 20 October and the account still says coming soon, so do not plan a trip around it until Munchi Malaysia posts an opening date itself.

What Munchi sells, for anyone in Malaysia who has never had it

Munchi started in 2016 when two childhood friends, Calvyn and Au, took over the Yishun min jiang kueh stall they used to eat at and started messing with the recipe: charcoal and green tea skins, fillings beyond peanut and coconut. Today it is halal-certified and sells three formats. Min Jiang Kueh is the folded pancake Malaysians know as apam balik. The Munchi Pancake is a thicker, rounder version with over 20 flavours, some of them cold fillings. Mini Munchi are bite-sized, sold in boxes of six with up to two flavours a box.

The flavours worth knowing before you queue: Pistachio Kunafa, the Dubai chocolate pairing that Munchi kept on the menu after customers asked, and Kopi Gao, a stronger kopi filling with coffee bits that Munchi says is at all its outlets. Whether the Malaysian menu matches the Singapore one is not published yet. Our Pistachio Kunafa launch piece has the full Singapore outlet list if you are visiting from across the Causeway first.

What this means if you are in Singapore

Nothing changes here. All 42 outlets stay, and the Malaysian one is a franchise-style expansion, not a move. The one thing worth watching is price. Munchi does not publish its flavour prices online even in Singapore, and customer posts put a pancake at about $2.70 to $2.90 here, so a JB outlet priced in ringgit will be the cheapest Munchi there is. Expect the usual Singaporean weekend queue.
