Dragon-i is one of the more prominent Chinese restaurants around; well known for its Shanghainese style of cuisine.
In fact, it has been one of the favorite places among floggers and I've read so many reviews about this place that I find it rather intriguing to find out the whole excitement when I was in their 1 Utama outlet.
There is this hallway leading into the restaurant which was lined up with these figures of terracota statues.
Their watercress with longan was a sweet and refreshing drink which quenches thirst (RM4)
The drink came with longans, winter melons, red dates and water cress.
The fish fillets was fried with long beans (RM16).
The fillets were deep fried before coating with the thick sauce which tasted of soy sauce and fermented soy beans.
It was not too bad; although occasionally the strong taste of the sauce was a little salty and it was slightly on the oily side.
Seafood with beancurd was cooked in a claypot (RM14)
This dish was filling due to the amount of beancurds and the fish fillets, shrimps, squids which was included in the claypot to add taste to the beancurd.
One of Dragon-i's specialty is the Siew Long Bau (Little Dragon buns) which is unique in the aspect of the bun holding the stock within the meat pastry.
Besides the meat-filled bun, we chose another unique variation which was the buns filled with red bean paste.
It had a rather thin layer wrapping the red bean paste which defines the bun and the paste was really full to the seams.
In fact, I found the sweetness of the paste rather overwhelming for myself as I don't have that sweet tooth.
All in all, Dragon-i certainly was not a bad choice for meals despite it serving the conventional Chinese/Shanghainese dishes.
but don't you think it's getting a bit expensive nowadays???
ReplyDeleteagreed with NKOTB. a bit on the pricey side. a simple meal for two can easily amount to RM50.
