Conceptualized by Datuk Redzuawan Ismail, fondly known as Chef Wan, and Andre Shum, an award-winning F&B serial entrepreneur, De.Wan 1958 by Chef Wan is a culinary gem that brings Malaysia’s cultural food to life. It seamlessly combines traditional Malay cuisine from different parts of Malaysia with casual fine dining in a modern, inviting setting.
Inspired by British colonial heritage interior design, our venues are visual masterpieces. Each setting offers a feast for the eyes, providing a symphony of curated ambiance that delivers a dining experience above the ordinary.
Located at three prime locations across Malaysia’s central Klang Valley region, our restaurants can be found at The LINC KL, Bangsar Shopping Centre, and Bangi Resort Hotel.
Chef Wan is Malaysia’s culinary ambassador and the first from the country to star in his own cooking show. Honoured with top global awards, he’s penned numerous cookbooks and been the face of many TV programs. His life’s work revolves around showcasing our cherished Malaysian cuisine.
Chef Wan sees food as a living history, a mirror to our cultures, and a way to forge connections of friendship and regard. After spending more than two decades abroad, he’s come back to where his journey started: Kuala Lumpur.

4 weeks agoWell curated dishes and good flavours. Good presentation. Duck dish was tasty but had quite a few bony parts and there were lots of bones in the fish unfortunately which made it little unpleasant to eat. Prawn petai was very good and so was the flavoured rice….which we could have eaten on its own! Only non alcoholic drinks on offer but they were all quite refreshing and nice.

a month agoOne of the best local restaurant in Malaysia. The restaurant is so spacious, elegant. Rice is soft and delicous, my daughter liked nuts and dried fruits mixed in rice. Main dishes were a little bit spicy for me but they were delicous overall. Highly recommended.

a week agoGreat place to try Malaysian food. Nice design and presentation of dishes.Service is good (besides the fact that after asking to make a review he actually was standing behind me which I didn’t see and then telling me what stars to put, all five everywhere, hahaha) Well, I said, I do how I want and I hate being told what to do. So, for this, 1 star down for service and 1 down for them being not very competent in giving recommendations from the menu, maybe just for asking reviews they are more competent 🤣Overall, I liked the place and would recommend to give it a try.
