MK Celebrates 40 Years with Launch of MK Original at Central Ladprao, Bringing Back Classic Menus and Dim Sum Carts

MK Restaurants celebrates its 40th anniversary by reaffirming its family brand image with the "Every Happiness Stays Warm" campaign, featuring the special MK Original at Central Ladprao and the traditional family set menu starting 3 April 2026 GMT+7.

When the "MK photo frame" becomes a memory keeper
