About DC. by Darren Chin

Darren Chin runs a room the size of a large living room and cooks with the discipline of a much bigger kitchen. The tasting menu leans on classical French technique — proper stocks, butter-mounted sauces, precise protein cookery — applied to ingredients sourced with obvious intent: Cameron Highlands vegetables, Japanese seafood flown in twice weekly, dry-aged duck from a single supplier Chin will name if you ask. Portions are correctly small. Nothing arrives to impress; everything arrives because it earned its place on the plate.

    Editorial sample

    The duck course alone justifies the star — properly rendered skin, sauce reduced for what tasted like days, not minutes. Book the counter seats if you can.

    Response from DC. by Darren Chin

    Thank you Priya — the counter is where we do our best work, glad you saw it up close.

  2. 4.0
    Editorial sample

    Excellent technique throughout, though the wine pairing markup is steep even by fine-dining standards. Still worth the splurge for the scallop course.
