De Maw Restaurant

About Us

Tucked away in the quiet lanes of Jalan Pudu Hulu, De Maw Restaurant is a local secret whispered among KL foodies who crave authentic Chinese seafood with a nostalgic, home-cooked touch. Unassuming in its setting but outstanding in flavour, this family-friendly spot near Menara PGRM exudes warmth, pride, and culinary passion.

The restaurant specializes in Teochew-style seafood, with every dish carefully prepared under the personal guidance of a passionate chef-owner. Here, quality takes precedence over quantity, with only 8 to 10 tables served each evening to ensure personalized service and attention to detail. Booking ahead is not just recommended—it’s essential.

Patrons frequently highlight the soulful quality of the dishes. The Golden Mayonnaise Prawns are massive, juicy, and perfectly cooked, their rich coating balanced by the sweetness of the fresh seafood. The Teochew Crab Meat Tofu is eggy, hearty, and laced with crispy pork lard, while the Steamed Lumpfish surprises with its sea cucumber-like skin and rich collagen, a true textural delight.

One of the most talked-about dishes is the Fragrant Pork Ribs, caramelized to a glistening finish and coated in a sweet-savory sauce reminiscent of Marmite and plum—so moreish even the little ones can’t get enough.

Not to be missed are the Barley Prawns, Crispy Duck, and Stir-Fried Assorted Mushrooms in Claypot—each showcasing depth, balance, and the unmistakable flair of comfort food elevated to celebration status. The Glutinous Rice with Wax Meat is an unexpected winner, fried to aromatic perfection with preserved meats, while the dessert, Cold Longan with Lotus Seeds and Fungus, refreshes with its abundance of natural sweetness.

If you’re after a feast that feels like dining at a beloved aunt’s house—generous, heartfelt, and undeniably memorable—De Maw Restaurant is your next culinary pilgrimage.
