I MUST SAY THE NAME 'DE.WAN' IS TRULY INSPIRED AND PERFECTION PERSONIFIED AS THERE WILL BE SOON A REAL, ACTUAL 'DEWAN' WHICH MEANS 'HALL' IN MALAY. THE NAME 'DE.WAN' INCORPORATES CHEF WAN'S NAME TOO WHICH MAKES IT EVEN MORE APT!
I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT OF THIS NAME TOO BUT OWNERS CHEF WAN AND ANDRE SHUM NEVER ASKED ME TO THINK OF A SUITABLE NAME! CUTTING COSTS I SUPPOSE.
IT WAS ANDRE SHUM WHO CAME UP WITH THIS NAME AS HE WAS DRIVING! "IT WAS A LIGHT BULB MOMENT AS THE NAME DEWAN ENTERED MY HEAD JUST LIKE THAT!" HE SMIRKS.
'DE.WAN BY CHEF WAN 1958' IS SIMPLY WAN.DERFUL AND THE FOOD WILL MAKE YOU 'WAN' MORE AND MORE! THE RESTAURANT IS HALAL WITH NO LIQUOR SERVED. OR ELSE THERE WOULD BE A 'WAN.DER BAR'! I TOLD THEM TO DISPLAY STUFFED ANIMALS SO IT CAN BE 'HAI.WAN AT DE.WAN'! BUT THEY 'DUN.WAN'!!!
KERWEI OR NOT?
WHERE GREAT
FOOD AND EXCITING EVENTS BLEND SO WAN-DERFULLY!
Malaysia’s latest place to be seen and eat to your heart's content has just opened! Last week in fact.
And it's as vibrant,
colourful and exciting and deliciously swanky like its namesake Chef Wan!
With a name like De.Wan 1958 by Chef Wan,
that description and adjectives can only be attributed to one such person: multiple
award-winning chef, Datuk Redzuawan Ismail or better known as Chef Wan -- the
person noted for Malaysia’s good food, having been its ambassador and traversed
the world to promote Malaysian cuisine for a good number of years.
DIGITALISED PORTRAIT OF WAN-DER CHEF WAN AND CO-OWNER ANDRE SHUM
De.Wan 1958 by Chef Wan is no ordinary
Malaysian restaurant. It does not only offer you authentic Malaysian cuisine, it
presents to you a lifestyle.
The décor brings you back to a time when its
de rigeur to dress up for dinner,
when you feel like tilting your little finger when you sip the tea, yet the
food reminds you so much of mum’s cooking or Mak Cik Salmah’s special rendang
back in the kampong. It is wholesome goodness, next to fine art.
And that’s just the restaurant.
De.Wan 1958 also has in its portfolio an
event hall like no other -- a state-of-the-art venue designed for an immersive
event experience.
Spreading over a spacious 13,000 sq feet of
space at The LINC, Kuala Lumpur, De.Wan 1958 is not only a restaurant to savour
diversified Malaysian cuisine, this is also where you can build a lifetime of memories
by hosting your events at the hall.
Be it a corporate meeting, product launch,
art exhibition, charity gala, birthday, anniversary or even the wedding
you’ve been dreaming of, this is the perfect venue to celebrate all your
important milestones.
In his usual inimitable style, Chef Wan
believes “… food is an evolution that reflects the history of culture and
through food you will find friendship and respect.”
After spending more than
two decades abroad, Chef Wan has finally returned home to Kuala Lumpur, the
city where it all began.
“The inspiration was really simple. We want
to redefine Malaysian cuisine and food culture.
As many of you know, one of the most
important goals for me is to raise awareness of Malaysian food at the
international level.
"Our national Malay cuisine is full of flavours and colours,
influenced by the diverse cultures Malaysia is blessed with, yet not
many people are aware what an authentic Malaysian cuisine tastes like,” said
this first Malaysian chef to have his own show, received prestigious international
awards, authored a dozen cookbooks and hosted numerous TV shows.
The Space
De.Wan 1958 by Chef Wan is located on Level
2 of The LINC KL, an upcoming lifestyle retail centre in town.
Inspired by
greenery, the mall is designed to bring visitors back to nature with its
luscious green plants and decorations.
The interior design concept of the
restaurant comes from the context of Chef Wan’s fun and cheery character.
Colours from a tropical palette are chosen to evoke the feel of sun, freshness
and cool vibes in an urban setting.
The entire restaurant and event hall can
accommodate up to 450 seated dining, or 600 in theatre style setting, or 650
standing guests and fully fitted with audio-visual equipment and stage. They can provide security, valet parking services as well
as red carpet entryway to make VVIPs feel extra special.
Projection Mapping
Apart from offering world class Malaysian
cuisine, the team members believe in the overall dining experience.
Thus,
De.Wan 1958 by Chef Wan has set up an audio-visual production team that
produces a series of captivating and stunning arrays of 360-degree projection
mapping. The entire visual effects will definitely enchant the guests, leaving
lasting impressions that will make your events the talk of the town.
Their event packages include the option to
choose from one of our standard themes for the projection mapping. However, if clients
wish to use a customized theme, our team is ready to bring their vision to
reality.
The Team
One of Asia’s most celebrated culinary
icons, Chef Wan spends most of his time in different regions, including US,
Europe, Middle East, to explore different food and culture.
Known for his
gregarious nature and immaculate culinary skills, he has won over connoisseurs
and fans across the world, so it is not exaggerating at all to say that he is
the most famous chef in the country.
He honed his cooking skills at the
prestigious California Culinary Academy and he’s received numerous awards over
the years, including the most recent Food Ambassador Award & The Master
Chef of The Year at the World Top Gourmet Awards.

experienced team at De.Wan 1958 by Chef Wan is committed to bring a brand new
