## 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.

- **Dry-Aged Duck Breast, Cameron Highlands Turnip, Jus Gras** RM 168 *28-day dry-aged, served pink*

1. ★★★★★ 5.0 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. — Priya Ramesh · 14 May 2026 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. — Jonathan Teoh · 2 April 2026
