In this age of social media, many people are starting their own businesses online as it is convenient, accessible, and allows them to work from home. After finding success, some choose to remain online, while others expand and open a physical establishment.
Content creator and entrepreneur Khairul Aming is one of those who have found success online and is ready to take the next step in his life. Yesterday (Tuesday, 9th December), the influencer posted a video on his official social media pages announcing that he is finally opening his own restaurant.
While most business owners usually start small or with a modestly sized establishment, the entrepreneur has decided to go all out with an 8,000-square-foot, two-storey building worth RM4 million, which can accommodate around 250 people. According to the content creator, construction for Rembayung — the name of the restaurant — began earlier this year, with plans to open in January 2026.
The restaurant is located in Kampung Baru, just nine minutes away from KLCC. The hiring process for chefs and staff began in October, although at the time, the candidates were unaware that the owner was the influencer himself until much later. “After 10 years in the online world, I’m finally ready to start moving into the offline world. This is the beginning of KA’s planning for the next 10 years. Welcome to Rembayung,” he said in the video.
As seen in the video, the design of the restaurant perfectly reflects Khairul Aming’s vision of creating a kampung atmosphere in the heart of the city, offering a nostalgic and cosy experience for customers. After announcing his restaurant, fans and celebrity friends congratulated the entrepreneur on the next chapter of his life. Many expressed how proud they are of how much he has grown and achieved over the years. Others said they are very much looking forward to dining there once Rembayung finally opens for business.
