The ambiance of the restaurant is stunning, with beautiful decorations and a classy atmosphere. It&#39;s a perfect spot for special occasions or a nice dinner out.

It was founded by the founder of the once most popular Sakura Restaurant. This restaurant has now become one of the best places to taste Malaysian food. The owner is the 80-year-old Peranakan sister Guan, and her signature dish is her secret nasi lemak. In addition, authentic foods such as fried kway teow, satay, rojak, curry noodles, etc. can also be tasted in this restaurant. Today, my sister&#39;s first proper meal!

It&rsquo;s really worth it to enjoy the food while admiring the beautiful view of KLCC up close! I like their Spinach Risotto the most!!!

De.Wan 1958 by Chef Wan is a well-known Malaysian restaurant by celebrity chef Datuk Redzuawan “Chef Wan”. The restaurant focuses on serving traditional Malaysian dishes in a more modern and elegant way. In Malaysia, De.Wan 1958 can be found at The LINC KL, Jalan Tun Razak, and Bangsar Shopping Centre, making it a convenient dining spot for both locals and tourists.

The moment you step inside, the restaurant feels warm and welcoming. The interior is stylish yet comfortable, with cultural details that reflect Malaysian heritage. It is a great place for family gatherings, celebrations, or even a relaxed meal with friends. The atmosphere feels premium without being too formal.

One of the highlights at De.Wan 1958 is their High Tea Set, priced at around RM188 for two people. This is not the usual Western high tea. Instead, it features a variety of local Malaysian favourites. You can enjoy savoury items like satay, laksa, mee rebus, and traditional kuih, along with sweet desserts and a pot of tea. The food is beautifully presented and perfect for sharing. If you want to experience Malaysian flavours in a unique and elegant way, this high tea set is definitely worth trying.

Another must-try dish is their cucur udang. These crispy prawn fritters are simple but very satisfying. They are fried until golden brown and filled with fresh prawns, making them crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Many diners consider this one of the best starters on the menu and a comfort food classic done right.

Overall, the food at De.Wan 1958 is rich in flavour and stays true to Malaysian cooking. Portions are generous, and the quality of ingredients is good. While the prices are higher than regular local restaurants, the experience, presentation, and taste make it worth it for special occasions.

Had a great time at De Wan restaurant @ The Linc! Food was good, the anbience was superb! I love how the setting gives that little bit of That’s So Raven feels. So eclectic and fancy!

We had the rose bandung drink, fried sea bass, ayam kicap, ayam masak merah, assorted fruits, and ulam platter among the other dishes we were served. The food presentation was lovely. Even better, the waiters and waitresses were so accommodating that they offered to take out photos at the instagrammable spots in the restaurant!

I was traveling to Kuala Lumpur for business and while deciding whats for dinner, I was recommended to come here at De Wan 1958 at The Linc. The interior settings resemble the hall like structure, to give people a feeling of having their meals in a big hall. We ordered the set meal consisting satay, fish, soup, chicken etc, and the taste is also very nice. Whats more, they gave me a free cake as it was my birthday month!!! This is the place where I will have my regular gatherings.
