Makan Junction Christchurch — Local services in Christchurch

It’s inside the metropolitan bakery and milkbar as they are operating as pop up stall for now~

Overall 5 stars ! The rice today is a-bit salty but they are aware of that and I believe they are improving! So they gave us more chili sauce to even out the taste… Thankyou!! Owner very funny and kind.. Malaysian style la 😁

The chicken itself is the one of the best I’ve tried in nz! Really surprised by how tender they are! Satay is also 💯 also ! I can tell they really cook from their heart 😊💪

Price is also very fair, I had the $29 for combo set ( chicken rice + 3 satays) , otherwise is $18 for hainanese chicken rice. Portion is huge , full...

We came across Makan Junction on social media during our travels and we’re so glad we did! We had the Hainan chicken with rice and satay chicken skewers - the Hainan chicken was tender and flavourful, exactly what you would find in Malaysia/Singapore. The rice was perfectly seasoned and infused with rich chicken essence. The satay chicken skewers were juicy and not dry at all with a balanced nutty satay sauce. Definitely one of the best chicken rice combos we’ve tried, even compared to places we’ve been...

8 August 2025 - Lunch with a colleague of mine. We ordered Penang curry laksa (NZD $19.50) at Makan Junction Christchurch inside South City Mall.

It was rich, fragrant, and irresistibly comforting, the Penang curry laksa bursts with coconut creaminess and a punch of spice. Silky vermicelli and yellow egg noodles soak up the aromatic broth, while two large prawns, tofu puffs, and bean sprouts add texture.

A satisfying lunch that leaves you craving just one more spoonful.

Would I go back?...
