in the last weekFor a Michelin 2 Star restaurant at RM870++ per person, I expected to be impressed. Instead, I left wondering what exactly I had paid for. I genuinely appreciate the concept and the effort to showcase indigenous Malaysian ingredients, but appreciation for the concept can only take you so far. Some of the flavours were simply too overpowering, to the point where they overshadowed the dish itself. A dessert that was overwhelmingly salty was particularly baffling. At some point, being unconventional stops being interesting and simply becomes difficult to enjoy. The service didn’t help. We were told to be punctual, so we arrived 30 minutes early, only to be left waiting downstairs. Our reservation was at 6pm, yet we only started being served at 7.10pm, after we finally had to ask how much longer we would be waiting. Being asked to respect their timing while our own reservation time was treated so casually was, frankly, rather ironic. And then there was the dress code. Guests are specifically asked to dress “smart elegant,” so we made the effort to do exactly that. Only to arrive and see another diner sitting in a T-shirt. If the dress code is meant to be part of the dining experience, it would be nice if it were actually applied consistently. We also watched another diner leave midway through the meal. Whatever his reason, I couldn’t help thinking he may have simply decided not to invest any more time in the experience. The biggest issue for me is that I’ve had considerably better meals and dining experiences elsewhere, without the Michelin-starred price tag. Dewakan is certainly ambitious and I respect what it is trying to do, but ambition and innovation don’t automatically translate into an enjoyable meal. The one genuine saving grace was the staff. They were warm, attentive and gracious throughout, and deserved much better than the experience we were given. For me, Dewakan was ultimately a hit or miss, and unfortunately, there were far more misses than hits. At RM870++ per person, that’s a very expensive gamble.

a week agoquestion whether the Malaysian herbs have been properly and thoughtfully incorporated. Moreover, all of the non-alcoholic pairings are overly sweet, which makes them poorly suited to complement the food.

a week agoWell alot of expectations. Rating is based on the expectations of a 2 star Michelin. In short, sad to say that it got it's Michelin Stars because of the localized story. White people like the poor 3rd world exotic narrrative. Writing this review now, I can't remember much of the menu. Only 2 things was vaguely memorable. Both were appetizers. A moment. Sturgeon on a satay steak and the 2nd I really can't recall. The rest of the course were what you would usually be served at a 5 star hotel banquet dinner. Nothing spectacular. The stories were what made them greet - herbs and fruits from the deepest jungle of Borneo. You get the idea. Room was hot with insufficient air conditioning. Tripping everywhere with the uneven flooring. Excellent wine list.
