A special niche in halal Korean food
In the world-dominating trends of Hallyu culture, The Live Oaks lives at the intersection of Korean products and Malaysian halal standards. The demand is growing, yet the concerns are constant. So that’s what we specialise in: halal-certified Korean-inspired food and beverages.
Journeying through multiple industries
We started as a trading and wholesale business specialising in Korean products.

2017

From then, we identified the growing demand for halal Korean products and shifted our focus to where we are today.
Why choose The Live Oaks?
When a business decides to offer certain products, it brings its own challenges. As a supplier, we offer much more than products—our connections enable us to smooth out processes, work out logistics and regulations, and in turn, help you address customer concerns.
15+ years of expertise
Before The Live Oaks, we’ve had plenty of experience in import/export since 2011, through our sister company Somsom.
Deep understanding of consumer trends
Constantly riding this fast-growing market, we’re uniquely positioned to anticipate and capitalise on trends, especially for halal Korean products.
Strong relationships
Food information from Korean manufacturers? Regulatory concerns with government agencies? We can get in touch with them.
Efficient supply chain management
Having our own warehouse and logistics capacity ensures that keeping, holding, and delivering inventory is never a problem.
Exclusive key partnerships
We’re the exclusive supplier in Malaysia for major Korean manufacturers.
You’ve probably seen our products before!
We supply to major businesses in Malaysia: convenience stores, mini marts, Korean specialty stores and restaurants, which in turn may be available through e-commerce and delivery platforms. Also look out for us at travel hubs, tourist spots, trade exhibitions and Korean cultural events.
