Vanikha Queens Enterprise signboard

We are four women who grew up in the humming warmth of Malaysian kitchens — where the day began with the sizzle of ikan bilis in a hot wok, and ended with the crackle of sambal against pandan‑wrapped rice.

Our childhoods were pieced together the same way our grandmothers built their meals: slowly, patiently, and with the certainty that food carried love, memory and belonging. We come from different families, different neighbourhoods, different corners of this beautiful country. But we share the same first flavour — the salty-sweet crunch of a spoonful of anchovies stolen from the frying pan.

Vanikha Queens is our way of keeping that promise. Every pouch of Crispy Chovies is cooked the way our mothers taught us, seasoned the way our grandmothers argued about, and packed with the kind of care you only give to things you are proud of.

Stay crunchy. Stay royal. — The house of Vanikha Queens

Why we bother

Craft over
clever.

We could tell you we're revolutionising snacks. We're not. We're just making a very good one, over and over, and refusing to cut corners when it would be quicker.

01

Small batch, always

Made in kitchens we know by first name. Never more than we can hand-seal in a week.

02

Wild-caught bilis

Sourced from small fisheries along Pangkor Island. Traceable, seasonal, honest.

03

Sun-dried spices

Chilli and curry leaves we've been buying from the same stall for six years.

04

A proper veg option

Not an afterthought — a soy-based crisp built to rival the anchovy on crunch and depth.

05

Zero preservatives

No glazes, no sugar syrups. Just the fry, the sambal, and the pouch.

06

Fresh within 48h

We ship the same week we cook. Peninsular Malaysia gets it in two days flat.

Words from the counter

The reviews that
actually matter.

“My grandmother made this exact sambal in Ipoh in 1974. I don't know how they did it, but I'm not questioning it — I'm ordering the boxes.”
Farah Idris
Home cook, Petaling Jaya
“The vegetarian pouch shouldn't work this well. It works. It works.”
Rohan Menon
Chef, Bangsar
“I bought two for my mother. She hid both. That's a five-star review in this family.”
Ling Yi Chen
Product designer
“Real ikan bilis, real curry leaves, real sambal. Nothing you'd find in a supermarket aisle.”
