Blast from the past - Launching KL’s First Halal Duck-Dedicated Restaurant - Orchan Consulting

It was all about duck at Hartamas Shopping Centre in 2012 with restaurant Duck’n’Such. Duck n’Such was quality, Halal restaurant that served intercontinental cuisine with a local twist, with a huge focus on duck. Be it Duck Ku Teh, Peking Duck, Duck Satay, or anything else duck, Duck’n’Such had it on their menu – and all Halal too!

Orchan was involved right from the beginning – involved with conceptualizing the business ethos, branding the restaurant, then launching and furthering the publicity for the restaurant via reviews and other activities.

The launch was attended by more than 100 distinguished guest and family friends, who were treated to the restaurant’s signature dishes. Guest were also entertained by a jazz band performance by Indonesian singer Hardy Abi. This event was also officiated by Tunku Puteri Intan Shafinaz Tuanku Abdul Halim Mu’adzam Shah.

Co-founder, Sharifah Nur Diyana Syed Zulkifee: ‘’I always loved duck dishes when I was in United Kingdom and I would like to introduce these scrumptious halal meals here’’. Sharifah wanted to make duck more accessible to Muslim patrons, and so it was realised with the inauguration of Duck’n’Such.

Sadly, Duck’n’Such is no more, but the meaning of those duck dishes lingers on in many writers minds.
