Johnny Rockets' latest restaurant outlet at The Curve appeals to Malaysians' taste for burgers made with 100% all-natural beef or chicken, American Fries served with the iconic brand's signature ketchup smiley face, hand-spun shakes and classic sandwiches. The restaurant also offers additional burger toppings such as beef bacon, turkey bacon, cheddar, Swiss and pepper jack cheese. Servers that twirl straws and dance to timeless music from the decades-spanning jukebox provide an interactive and family-friendly dining ambiance that local residents and area visitors may not have experienced before.

"We're thrilled to bring Johnny Rockets' all-American food and fun to Malaysia, and commend Aum Asiatic Restaurants for choosing The Curve for their first location," said John Fuller, CEO of Johnny Rockets. "For the past 26 years, shopping malls have proven to be very viable locations for our restaurants around the world. Everyone appreciates a juicy burger and creamy shake before, during or after a day of shopping."

"Not only that, but in the great state of Selangor, where the city of Petaling Jaya is located, boasts the largest population and strongest economy in Malaysia," added Fuller. "By all counts, our new restaurant at The Curve should be extremely successful."
