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!
