Kwan Swee Lian (Chinese: 关瑞莲,[1] born 1933) is a Malaysian chef and businessperson.
[3] She studied at Kuan Cheng Girls' School in Kuala Lumpur, where her family relocated to later.
[3] Deciding to work from a rented food stall, Kwan suffered another setback when no profits were made.
[3] As a "tribute" to Kwan, her youngest son Rudy decided to forgo his career in the stock market and establish Madam Kwan's, a Malaysia-based restaurant selling similar food items as Sakura does, in 1999.
The restaurant is recognised for its beef rendang and nasi lemak, the latter selling around a thousand plates a day.
