A seated dinner. Guests are welcome to BYOB wine and beer; we will also have bottles for sale.

Linda's Malaysian Pop-Up dinners are memorable and delicious yearly affairs at 18 Reasons. Always multi-course delicious experiences, Linda's cooking is craveable, even if you haven't had a bite of Malaysian food before. Sit down and let Linda and team do the work this time around (if you've ever taken one of her classes, you know there's a lot of ingredients that go into these dishes) and relax with friends at our dining tables.
