Savour the best of Malaysian cuisine at the one of newest restaurants in town by Malaysia's most loved award-winning celebrity chef, De.Wan 1958 by Chef Wan. Here, Chef Wan aims to share his passion for Malaysian food and enable guests to experience authentic Malay cuisine through his recipes.
Located in The LINC KL, the restaurant features a main dining area, four private rooms and state-of-the-art event space with projection mapping, spreading over 13,000 sq feet of space in this lifestyle mall. Decked in resplendent colours from a tropical palette, the interior is rich, opulent and vibrant, mirroring Chef Wan's cheery and gregarious personality.
The kitchen is led by Chef Wan himself, and features many of his famous recipes from his cookbooks. We were here recently to sample their a la carte menu, which is available daily at lunch and dinner time. Once the Ramadan period is over, there will also be a Tea Time Menu served from 2.30pm to 6pm daily, featuring Chef Wan's famous Nyonya Laksa and Mee Rebus. The portions here are designed for sharing, so it is best to order a variety of appetizers, salads and mains.
To start, we highly recommend the Cucur Udang (RM25), prawn fritters deep fried to crispy, golden perfection. Wonderfully crunchy, with large fresh tiger prawns, beansprouts and chives, served with a delicious thick peanut sauce. Without a doubt, the most impressive, best tasting cucur udang we've tried.
Delicious, complimentary rempeyek cracker
The kids loved the Chicken Satay (RM30), which featured tender chunks of chicken, well-marinated in local spices, skewered and charcoal grilled for a lovely smoky finish.
From the salad selection, we tried the Urap Nangka & Tempe (RM24), made with young jackfruit pieces, tempe, beancurd, long beans and fresh pineapple and tossed in Chef Wan's special "secret recipe" sauce. Unfortunately the Kerabu Pucuk Paku with Kerang was not available during our visit, but I would love to try this on my next visit.
The Sup Ekor (RM33) is perfect for those who like to start with their meal with something warm and comforting. The flavours are robust, with every mouthful tinged with local spices. The Australian oxtail is simmered until tender and falling off the bone.
Excellent thirst quenchers - Mint Lychee Soda, Fruity Sangria and Rosey Bandung.
For mains, we shared the Ayam Kuah Kacang (RM32), Gulai Lemak Udang Nenas Nyonya Style (RM68) and Sambal Sotong Petai (RM38). To go with your mains, you can enjoy unlimited servings of rice; choose from fluffy white rice, nasi telur Terengganu or nasi kunyit. All the sauces were so good, which made me want to tambah nasi and eat more rice than I should.

Gulai Lemak Udang Nenas Nyonya Style - our personal favorite, fresh tiger prawns slow cooked in creamy coconut milk, yellow turmeric and fresh pineapple cubes. The thick, rich sauce was a mix of sweet and savoury flavours, so appetizing! It's not too spicy as well, so the kids enjoyed this thoroughly.
Sambal Sotong Petai - spicy and pungent, fresh squid is cooked with Chef Wan's special sambal chilli paste with petai.
We also had a couple of their Bakar-Bakar items, the Jumbo Sotong (RM32) and Ikan Jenahak (RM88), a whole fish charcoal grilled over hot embers and served with a few of Chef Wan's specially made dipping sauces. We loved the fish, simply grilled to showcase its natural sweetness and freshness of the produce.
For dessert, don't miss the Bubur Som Som (RM16), a soft rice flour pudding topped with creamy coconut milk and cinnamon-infused palm sugar syrup. A beautiful combination of sweet and salty flavours. For durian lovers, try the Bubur Pulut Hitam (RM14), black glutinous rice topped with fresh coconut milk and durian ice cream by Forty Licks.
The interior is seriously gorgeous!
Pork-free.
