K Plus Food Market, a premium Korean supermarket, celebrated its grand opening at the Curve shopping mall, Petaling Jaya on October 7, 2022.
Spanning over 28,000 sq. ft, the grocer is the biggest Korean premium food market in Malaysia to offer shoppers unique mall experience with the feel of modern Korean lifestyle in elevated aesthetic displays.
The food market offers everything from Korean inspired cafes, fresh meat and seafood corner, special Korean side dish (banchan), kimchi corner to cosmetics and homeware essentials.
K Plus Food Market was launched as an initiative by K-Eco Mart (M) Sdn. Bhd to connect the cultural bridge between Malaysia and Korea alongside promoting cross-cultural tourism between the two nations, as the demand for Korean products has been continuously rising due to the influence of Korean pop culture on Malaysians.
K-Eco Mart chairman Datuk Matthew Lew said, “Malaysia has always been a country that welcomes and respects culture, and to me, that is what makes our nation so special. It is a great honor for me to be able to bridge Korea and Malaysia through K Plus Food Market and meet consumers’ growing demand with the products of the highest quality and authenticity.
“I look forward to providing my fellow Malaysians with an all-inclusive platform to satisfy all of your Korean needs, with the launch of K Plus Food Market.”
He added, “Through the K PLUS Food Market, this marks K-Eco Mart’s effort in empowering Malaysia and Korea together alongside promoting Malaysia as a nation that is driven towards solidifying a friendship between nations through cross-cultural tourism and innovation.”
K-Eco Market is ecstatic to welcome local and foreign visitors to K Plus Food Market where Korean pop culture fans and K-enthusiasts can now get their hands on their favorite as-seen-on-tv items at shelves near them.
“Standing here today and seeing this new establishment, I believe that this proves how South Korea and Malaysia are dedicated to empowering each other and I am excited for both nations to continue taking tremendous strides forward in the future,” said The Embassy of the Republic of Korea in Malaysia counsellor Im Chae Wook.
