In 1977, Kwan Swee Lian embarked on a culinary journey to perfect the art of preparing classic Malaysian dishes through practice and experimentation. She did not initially have a passion for cooking but determination led her through, and eventually, Madam Kwan's was born.



Her flavourful nasi lemak delighted customers and became an iconic staple on the menu. The dish is rich, and each component combines beautifully to produce a plate of deliciousness. Its fragrant coconut rice is served with spicy anchovies, shrimp floss, hard-boiled egg, spicy pickled vegetables, sliced cucumbers and your choice of curry chicken or beef rendang. You'll want to make sure you have a bit of everything in every mouthful.



The tasty curry chicken and tender beef rendang can also be ordered separately on its own. And, that's exactly what we did. Chicken pieces are cooked in thick coconut milk and some sort of spice blend. The shredded beef is also slow-cooked in thick coconut milk. We enjoyed both with steamed rice.



Another recommended dish is Cantonese fried beef noodles. Served with sliced beef and ginger, the flat rice noodles are cooked to perfection in a silky egg-based sauce. To further enhance your experience, you can get wagyu beef instead at selected outlets. The char kway teow is rather good too. In this dish, flat rice noodles are stir-fried in dark soy sauce and served with chicken, prawn, squid, egg and beansprout.



As for dessert, cendol is definitely a must-have. The classic version comes with pandan rice flour jelly and red beans on shaved ice covered in coconut milk and palm sugar syrup. Musang King pulp can be added if you're daring enough to try it.



Strategically situated across Kuala Lumpur, Madam Kwan's restaurants are easy to get to either by car or via public transport. Each restaurant I've visited has given me a dining experience worth remembering. The full list of outlets can be found on their website .
