The Claypot Porridge is a heartwarming treat, silky and rich, ideal for those seeking comfort in a bowl.

But what truly sets DUAN apart is its impressive fusion approach—dishes like the Chinese-style tomyam fried maggie intertwined with local elements showcase the kitchen’s creativity, earning raves from patrons who praise the rich, homemade flavour profiles.

This restaurant offers a great fusion of local flavours in a comfortable café-style setting. While their Nasi Kandar is definitely the highlight — rich, flavorful, and satisfying — you’ll also find other tasty options like Chinese-style tomyam fried maggie with duck egg and classic Malay nasi lemak rendang chicken The menu is diverse, making it a great spot whether you're craving something spicy, soupy, or rice-based. The prices are slightly on the higher side, but the quality of ingredients, clean presentation, and relaxed ambiance make it worth it. However, the drinks are really expensive — surprisingly pricey compared to the food. That’s something to keep in mind if you’re dining on a budget. Perfect for those who want to enjoy a variety of Malaysian favourites in a more modern and cozy environment. Business Lifespan Sustainability 3-6years

Chicken satay a little spicy for me but the Fried egg Char Koay Teow was really nice. I also discovered Brown Sugar Tao Hua. Fresh Longan ice was also very nice

Surprisingly, the food was very nice. The porridge was truly heart-warming, the rendang was incredibly fragrant, and the kerabu was also very tasty. The flavours felt homemade, like something prepared with real care. The place may look simple, but the quality really exceeded my expectations. Definitely will visit again, maybe even bring a few friends along next time.

Verdict: I will revisit this restaurant, because I like the foods here. However, it is worth noting that the prices are above average. Foods: + Seafood Tomyam Meggie Soup (9/10): The soup was so rich, but not salty. + Prawn Duck Egg Fried Rice (10/10): This is by far the best no fried rice I have ever tasted. Must try! + Nasi Leak Curry Mutton (6/10): The coconut milk rice was quite delicious, but I found the mutton to be a bit chewier than I had anticipated. Furthermore, I did not particularly like the flavor of the curry. Service: The staffs were very helpful, and regularly asked for feedback. Environment: The restaurant has been renovated to a lovely standard. However, the interior can sometimes feel a bit crowded due to its small size and the arrangement of tables to accommodate a large number of patrons.

Well deserving of its 5 star rating. Good to a fantastic and arrives within 10mins even during peak hours. The chicken is great and the mixed platter dish is also not to be missed. The star of the show? Definitely order the coconut shake. So refreshing and not sweet. The ice cream on top is the main draw. Parking is tough during peak hour.. Circle around a few times if needed. The service is also attentive. Brought a cake to celebrate a friend's birthday.. The other waiters immediately brought sharing plates for us. Very kind of them. The only downside.. It's VERY NOISY especially during peak hours. Can hardly have a conversation with someone across the table.
