Kedai Tapao: Love and A Malaysian Takeout Shop
Mike and Jenn started Kedai Tapao in 2020 with the goal of bringing their taste of Malaysian food to Chicago. Within a few short months they succeeded in spades. Now most of their pop-ups sell out within hours. For this documentary we followed Mike and Jenn over the course of 3 days leading up to their first plated dinner pop-up service at Superkhana. The film explores the difficulties of opening and starting a pop-up business against the backdrop of a beautiful love story.

Trying my best to make great films in Chicago.
Kedai Tapao was a huge passion project shot in Chicago to cover an extremely talented duo bringing their special sauce of Malaysian food to the Midwest.
We hope you enjoy Jenn and Mike's story.
