The term “Dewakan” is a combination of the Malay words “dewa,” which means god, and “makan,” which means “to eat”. The Dewakan KL team celebrates and honors the local farmers, fishermen, and craftspeople while honoring the abundance of the surrounding regions. Chef Darren Teoh creates a culinary painting on the plates by connecting local products and ingredients from Malaysia’s nature.

God + Food = Dewakan

Dewakan does not stand for ‘Dewan Makan’. Sorry to disappoint.
