A combination of the Malay words for “god” and “food”, Dewakan is a modern appreciation of the bounty that this land is blessed with. The restaurant’s dining experience is designed to create meaningful connections with the people and culture represented in every ingredient. The team at Dewakan continually explores new ways to do this and you are invited to partake in their journey.
Dewakan is Darren Teoh’s expression of cooking with purpose. Each dish is made with ingredients sourced from Malaysia, carefully crafted to encourage deeper appreciation for the land and culture. Darren’s philosophy is simple. Be curious, have courage, value your roots.
In April 2019, Dewakan had the honour of being the first Malaysian restaurant on Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants list at 46th place with the title Best Restaurant in Malaysia. We are extremely grateful to be acknowledged for our contribution to the dining scene in this region, and we hope our work continues to inspire genuine relationships between people and food.
