What to Eat

It was a hot sunny day and we were at the Dragon-i Restaurant in The Curve for a late lunch after shopping. Dragon-i is a Shanghainese restaurant, tastefully furnished with shades of imperial red and black. There are some Cantonese, Szechuan and Beijing dishes featured in the extensive menu but we wanted to try their Shanghainese cuisine which is known for its slow ‘red cooking’.

So instead of having their signature dish, Xiao Long Bao (Shanghainese steamed meat dumplings), we had their signature springy and light La Mian (hand-pulled noodles). We could watch the chefs who are mainly from China “pulling” the noodles in an open kitchen.

La Mian with Sichuan Hot & Sour Soup (RM12.00). This is a mild, spicy and vinegar-flavored soup noodle dish.

My Fried La Mian with Mixed Vegetables & Mushrooms is a fine blend of taste, and texture.

Before you enjoy a bowl of hot delicious La Mian, don’t miss out on their most famous dish Xiao Long Bao and be careful of the lovely hot soup inside!

Though 2008 ended five days ago, I still want to wish you a very happy and healthy 2009!

Oh dear I seem to have abandoned this blog! Is my blog burning? No. I am the one on my burning anger! I find today.com is loading EXTREMELY slow and end up I get very frustrated. Another thing is I have a problem when I tried to upload a picture. As you can see at my last post, somehow the picture of the yummy Japanese cake that I posted has gone. I have no idea why.

I tried to upload the picture from my PC but it turned out too big for the previous theme. Then I uploaded the picture to my Flickr account but the picture has disappeared. Therefore I have to switch to another theme so that the size of the picture fits well with the theme. Now, I’m trying to upload more images for my next post. We’ll see how it goes.

Have a yummilicious New Year everyone!

Christmas is over! However, I’m still in the holly jolly holiday mood and listening to Rudolph the red nosed reindeer right now. Well, there were no wild turkey roast, no eggnog this year. Turkey or no turkey, I could do with a good dose of jollity!

Lately, I have been stuffing myself with cakes! I love cakes especially freshly baked homemade cakes. It tastes better than most stores bought boxed cake. No doubt it’s going to be high in fat, but who cares as long as it’s going to be highly enjoyable. There is nothing better than a good cup of hot coffee with a slice of homemade cake, seriously!

Take a look at this mouth-watering-to-look-at that guaranteed to sweeten your mood.
