賽百味快餐 Subway fast food joint can be a healthier fast-food choice due to customization with 新鮮蔬菜 fresh veggies, 瘦肉 lean meats, and 全麥麵包 whole-grain bread, but it's also not inherently healthy especially many items are also 鈉含量高 high in sodium, 糖分高 sugar (especially 醬料 sauces/ 餅乾 cookies), and processed meats, sometimes rivaling 麥當勞的卡路里含量 McDonald's calorie counts.
Subway fast food was created in 1965 by Fred DeLuca and Dr. Peter Buck, opening its first location as "Pete's Super Submarines" in 布里奇波特 Bridgeport, 康涅狄格州布 Connecticut, to provide affordable, customizable sandwiches and help DeLuca pay for college. The name was changed to Subway a few years later, and the franchise model began in 1974, leading to rapid expansion.

Specifically Subway, the 潛水艇三明治 Submarine sandwich 連鎖餐廳 restaurant chain opened its first store in 安邦坊 Ampang Point (now in 安邦坊購物中心 Ampang Point Shopping Center) in 1999 by Mr Choo and his wife Miss Cheong and grew to 11 stores two years later. However, by 2002, the chain had closed down 10 stores and was back to square one. This was reportedly due to the franchises were not well managed and the parent brand’s operational standards were not fully met. Since then, Choo and Cheong have brought in better franchisees. Both of them believe that quality franchisees are one of the foundations to running a successful franchise operation. Today, there are maybe around 350 outlets in Malaysia,with maybe a dozen or more up north in Penang and a few franchises down south in Johor Baru.
Subway opened at Penang International Airport (PIA) around late July 2025.
