This is one of days where I don’t have the mood to write much. Because the food is nothing spectacular, yet expensive. Even the photos I took are bad, touching up was a painful process. Not worth going anymore, that’s what I think of Dragon-I after my last visit to the Queensbay Mall’s branch.

So, let me start with the nicest among all. The Shanghainese Steamed Buns aka Xiu Long Bao. RM9 per basket of four. We had two baskets of this.

Hongkie Kopitiam is a restaurant serving Hong Kong style food, this should be very obvious just by looking at its name. It is located in E-Gate’s ground floor. You will find that Hongkie Kopitiam is very similar with Kim Gary and Wong Kok Char Chan Teng. I have been to all of them so I will compare Hongkie Kopitiam’s food with the other two.

This is actually my second visit to Hongkie Kopitiam. My first visit was a unpleasant one because the waiters serve the food without proper order and made us wait very long. Reason was, they did not have enough plates and eating utensils.. Anyway I gave them another try, to see if they improved their service.

To order, choose from the menu and fill in the ordering form. I noticed more and more restaurants are using this method of ordering now, especially those kopitiam themed. This lets you to take all the time needed to browse through the menu. And best of all you won’t have to worry that a poor waiter is waiting for your decisions. Just alert them when you’re done and they will re-verify your orders. The food is given interesting English name like ‘We Strive, You Thrive’ and ‘The world’s local bank’ - HSBC?

I ordered a set meal of pork chop rice with green vegetables @ RM10.90. Also included in the set are mushroom soup, a drink and dessert. I chose cold yin yong as drink - a mix of tea and coffee.

The mushroom soup is very thick and had black pepper sprinkled on top. Very nice.

The pork chop rice is good. It looks colorful and tempting too don’t you think

This is a side dish we ordered, a plate of fried dumplings @ RM4.90. They named this dish Golden Triangle. Tasted so-so only.

Siang Leng’s order - Cheese Curry rice @ RM 10.80. Compared to Kim Gary (which totally sucks), Hongkie’s cheese curry packed more cheese and curry gravy. It tastes better too!

Lets see what’s underneath the layer of cheese.. WHOA This type of dish may certainly cause one to develop cheese phobia lol. We didn’t finish the cheese.. already starting to get sick of it.

Ice cold Hong Kong Milk Tea @ RM2.50. No difference with any teh peng found in Penang actually.

And lastly our dessert, rainbow colored ice cream that reminds me of paddle pop

The obese individuals have to take care of their diet if they want to loose their weight in the balanced form. Before using the zantrex 3 diet, the patient should have knowledge about its proper dose, side effects and ingredients. The low carb diet is very beneficial diet to reduce the weight of the obese people.

Hsin Guang Dong Xiao Chu Restaurant is located beside Pacific’s ground floor parking. It is one of the many restaurants along the row of shops, with 2 serving Vietnamese food. I dined here twice when I was completing my industrial training in the Perai’s Industrial Zone. That was 3 years ago.. Anyway expect to see lots of wantan in this post lol.

At Hsin Guang Dong Xiao Chu, you can expect to find roasted meat rice or noodles and a wide selection of Chinese dishes, even sharksfin soup! Shown here was supposed to be our dessert - Wintermelon Sago, but it was the first to come lol. It costs RM2.00, and I felt that it was a bit watery. Definitely better if more sago and wintermelon bits were given.

Prawn wantan soup @ RM3.50 - contains 6 medium sized wantan. The wantan tasted very sweet, so nice. We have tried making our own wantan but they won’t turn out so tasty.. I wonder if they put a lot of MSG in it

Original Hong Kong style Wantan Noodles @ RM3.50.

Stewed Beef Noodles @ RM5.50. This is a bit pricey but I like the beef a lot, especially the springy beef stomach :drool: I can’t help but notice that this restaurant’s condition has deteriorated much within 3 years. I do hope they put more effort in maintaining the restaurant to attract even more customers (not that its business is bad, it was full house when I went!)

Since patronizing a restaurant that serves good Hong Kong style food in Midvalley Megamall early this year, I’ve been craving for more since. Luckily, I have found a similar restaurant, called Eastern Station Restaurant.

Eastern Station Restaurant is located in i-Avenue, the new commercial building in Bayan Lepas. There are many Japanese, Korean and Chinese restaurants here. The restaurant itself is quite small actually, but nicely designed. I especially like the transparent kitchen where you can look into what the chefs are doing.

Roasted meat rice and noodles are the main menu item here. Besides that, additional Chinese dishes are available for a more complete meal from 5.30-9.30pm. Beverage wise, various soups and herbal drinks are available.

Our order was set E that consists 2 types of roasted meat, rice and soup. I like the plates they use, they are stylish. Made me feel like getting a set for myself lol.

The roasted meat available to choose from are pork, chicken, duck and char siew. We chose roasted pork and duck because roasted chicken seemed very common.. can get it almost anywhere.

The soup given is double boiled ‘Sai Yong Choy’ soup. It had quite a lot of vegetable, a few pieces of meat and bits of dried cuttlefish and red dates. Very tasty!

Belacan Kangkung is not part of the set meal, it was an additional order. Siang Leng and I tend to order this vegetable everytime we go to a new restaurant lol. It was quite good actually, but was not spicy at all.

We were billed RM21.50, RM16.50 for the set meal and RM5 for the kangkung. A recommended restaurant for a nice dinner on Friday nights.
