DRAGON-i Cheras Leisure Mall

They opened a new branch in Cheras Leisure Mall and after reading bout DRAGON-i in a few blogs (with both positive and negative reviews) I thought I should go there and try it out myself.

Lung Dik Chuen Yan Dragon-i


Meal for 2


Siu Long Bao - Little Dragen Dumplings


Meat & Vege Dumplings


War Tip (derno wtf its call in engrish)


We ordered 3 types of dumplings just to see whether they are as good as they claimed anot.

1.] Siu Long Bao (Little Dragon Dumplings) - This arrived 1st ... it was quite a fantastic dish really. Taste were great and the experience of having soup shoot outta your dumplings is priceless. Almost at par with the Shanghai Siu Long Bao.

2.] Meat & Vege Dumplings - Very colorful! Nice presentation! despite the look ... the moment u took a bite you will wonders ... "eh .. why taste like Siu Long Bao wan?"

3.] War Tip - Looks boring ... white white lidat with no presentation at all! Took a bite and "WTF?!! same taste again??!!!"

Verdict : If u wanna order dumplings in DRAGON-i ...... just order one type will do, they all freaking taste the same wan! Thats how innovative they are!




Ngau Lam Lai Meen - Beef tendon noodles


Lai Meen Wantan Tong - Wantan Soup Ramen


Ramen up close


Wantan

I am a noodle kinda person, I grow up helping my mum selling noodles therefore I m more fond of noodle than rice. I believe there should be different kinda noodle to accompany different kinda dish, not only different texture but also different kinda taste and spices too.

1.] Ngau Lam Lai Meen (Beef tendon noodles) - The Ngau Lam is nice and tender, kinda tasty too but nothing outa the ordinary and The Noodle is totally =.="" (sweating/lauhon/berpeluh) ... the noodle is tasteless (felt like chewing on wet tissue paper when u eating it), no texture (not springy, too soft) totally koyaked! The soup ... sigh*

2.] Ramen Wantan Soup Noodle - Wantan taste like Siu Long Bao which taste like War Tip whiche also tasted like Meat Vege Dumplings. Soup is tasteless, noodle is not up to expectations, its the same noodle as the one they used in Ngau Lam Meen (elo? if i paid RM18 bucks for a bowl of Ramen wantan noodle, I should expect alot rite?) Overall .... I really wished i never paid RM18 for a bowl of Wantan meen here!

Verdict : Forget bout noodle ok? Dont even think bout it .... you should just go for rice dishes instead!

    Thanks for the info, that day I look from outside saw many people and their dishes and noodles looks really nice (the color) - but wouldn't try it now. I can get a nice bowl of wantan mee with $3.50.
