At the recent St. Patrick’s Business Breakfast organized by the Irish Chamber of Commerce Malaysia, members of the Irish and Malaysian business communities gathered for a meaningful morning celebrating Irish culture, collaboration, and connection.
One of the highlights of the event was an inspiring session, “In Conversation with” Eleanor McEvoy, whose contemporary Irish songs brought a soulful and emotional atmosphere to the room. Her performance reminded guests of the rich artistic heritage and storytelling tradition that Ireland is known for.
During the event, Orla Tunney shared a remark that truly resonated with everyone present: “If you search Irish in Malaysia, all you can see is O’Briens.”
This recognition is a proud moment for O’Briens Irish Sandwich Café and for the team behind it. Over the years, O’Briens has been committed to bringing authentic Irish café culture to Malaysia — from freshly made sandwiches and wholesome meals to the warm hospitality that reflects the spirit of Ireland.
What began as a single Irish café concept has grown into a beloved brand across Malaysia and the wider Asia-Pacific region. More than just serving food, O’Briens has become a bridge connecting Irish heritage with local communities.
Being recognised as a strong Irish presence in Malaysia is a meaningful milestone for everyone involved in the journey. It reflects the passion, dedication, and shared vision of bringing the best of Ireland to this region.
As we celebrate moments like this, we are reminded that our mission goes beyond business — it is about sharing culture, building friendships, and strengthening the connection between Ireland and Malaysia.
Here’s to Irish spirit, great partnerships, and many more milestones ahead. Cheers! 🍀
