Queensbay Dragon-I

Recently, they open a branch in Queensbay Mall, Penang ( Queensbay third floor) and I decide to give them a second chance. Surprisingly, the wait staffs here in Penang are extremely attentive, fast and accomodating. They receive a thumb up. The place is crowded but the service was fast. I was there early so I did not have to wait.

I love the cosy corner with these low sofas and lots of cushions. Since it is very new, the cushions are all cushy and great for hugging. But I wonder what condition they will be like in a few month? Hmmm..so, go to Dragon-i faster and enjoy it now. A trip to Dragon-i is incomplete without a bowl of la mein or hand pulled noodles. I like it plain. A bowl costs RM8 and I can taste the flavours of Chinese ham in it. In case you have not seen a Chinese ham, it is this huge, dried and preserved whole pork’s leg. The pork leg is VERY HUGE and sold for several hundreds RM. A little bit like prosciutto. It is very nice when make into stock but unfortunately, they don’t sell the Chinese ham in small portions. The only choice I get is the canned ones which go for about RM20+ from specialised shops. The size of the tin is like the luncheon meat. Very expensive but it is worth it if you know how to make delicious stock.

If you have not been to Dragon-i, well, it is a cosy place. There are lots of small dishes to sample and plenty of spicy foods too, if you prefer something hot. The above is a plate of thick slabs of duck’s meat, crispy crunchy soya skin, honey glazed lotus seeds and not in the picture steam pancake. It is meant to wrap the duck’s meat and the other stuffs. Quite an enjoyable dish.
