Dragon-i restaurant

Dragon-i restaurant is an international chinese restaurant, which they also have a lot of branches in Malaysia. Last month during my trip to Penang, I have an dinner at their Penang's branch with my friends, and personally I like their chinese food alot.

Flower tea that will bloom slowly,

Shang Hai Xiao Long Bao, inside the bun, there are soup inside. Once you bite, the soup will spread into your mouth, extremely nice during it's warm,

Vegetarian noodles soup, simple but nice,

Druken Chicken, it's a cold dishes which made me felt that it was just taken out from the fridge, extremely nice~

For more menu, you can visit their official website and have a look.

Dim Sum - Ipoh, Perak

Ipoh was the main city of Peral state and it's famous as place of tourism in Malaysia. Dim sum was a quite very famous food in Ipoh, especially as their breakfast. Their have varieties of dim sum to choose, until sometimes you also don't know which tray of dim sum you want to eat.

Dim sum was originated from China actually, but since there are a lot of chinese in Malaysia, dim sum somehow also becomes one of the common dishes for Malaysian. Give it a try at Ipoh if you like to eat dim sum, overall the price is considerable cheap compare to the dim sum we eat at other city. 



Tauge (Bean Sprouts) Chicken Rice - Ipoh

Simple food combination, simplicious of Ipoh's local dishes. Do not underestimate this combination of food, it does taste nicer than the ordinary chicken rice that we tasted at most places. It usually comes with 3 plates, 1 plate of chicken, 1 plate of steamed bean sprouts and 1 plate of rice, or a bowl of kueh tiaw soup. 

There is nothing special about the steamed bean sprouts, may be it was an side dishes to refreshing our tougue only. But the chicken meat does taste very nice and smooth, and the with the light taste kueh tiaw soup, it tastes even nicer. So don't forget to try it when got chance. 

O-Jien - Penang

This is Penang style O-Jien. I don't have much comment about it, can say no bad only. But I still prefer the O-Jien that I can find in Kuching.

Chu Chong Fan - Penang



This kind of Chu Chong Fan is purely springrolls made of flours, topped with sesame, serves with soya sauce and some sambal. It's taste different compare to those Chu Chong Fan that rolled with meat or prawn inside the spring roll, this one is purely springrolls made of flours.

It tastes quite nice and it's more chewy than those Hong Kong type of Chu Chong Fan i tasted before.

Char Kueh Tiaw (fried kueh tiaw) - Penang



This is Penang's Char Kueh Tiaw, the most famous dishes of Penang. Actually I felt the it's nothting special of it compare with the fried kueh tiaw of my hometown. The different of Penang's Char Kueh Tiaw is that it was cooked with Charcoal, but it was also expensive and small portion.

Curry Mee (noodle) - Penang



This is Penang's curry mee, it tastes like Kuching's laksa but it has different ingredients compare with Kuching's laksa. I like this dishes, but most people might don't like the ingredient as it consisting pig organs and pig's blood as well. It has clams, squids, pig organs and blood, long bean and etc ingredients.

The noodles are also mixed from different types of noodles, but if you don't like mixing of noodle types, you can always select particular noodles only. It also serves with a scoop of spicy spices which customer can mix themselves how spicy they wants witht the curry mee. 

Asam Laksa - Penang

Before stir the ingredients

After stirred the ingredients

This is how famous Penang' asam laksa looks like. It's cook using "Lou Shu Fan", mixed with cucumber, meat floss and etc spices. Not a bad dishes but it might not suit most people's taste.

It tastes sour and spicy, tastes not bad but it made me feel a bit weird about the mixture. I don't think those who like sour or spicy food will definitely like the taste. But if go Penang, it's a must try dishes.

Cendol - Penang

This is called "Cendol", it's a Malaysia local ais dishes. It's consists of red bean and the green colours "Cendol", mixed with sweetening milk and ais. For Penang's cendol, I feel that it's a bit different from the cendol i tasted in different city.

Penang's cendol used coconut milk instead of sweetening milk and they did put some salt inside of it, making it tastes sweetness and a bit salty. Personally I still prefer Kuching's cendol as they used sweetening milk instead of coconut milk, because I don't like my ais syrup tastes a bit salty.

Hokkien Mee (noodles) - Penang

This is one of the recommended food of Penang, it's called Hokkien Mee. Personally I like this noodles' soup a lot, it's spicy and taste very nice as it mixed some spicy sambal inside the soup. The noodles are mixed of different type of noodles, and it's non-halal food as it serves with pork.

Ais Kacang - Penang

This is Penang Ais Kacang, taste very nice and full of ingredients. It has red beans, red bean paste, sweet corn, jelly, sea coconut and etc. On top of those ice mixture, a scoop of ais-cream was topped as topping. Guess how much was it, it's only RM1.50. Nice~
