It was just one of the days where you feel like you need to take a break from work, head to somewhere nothing can remind me of work, and spend the day just window shopping and stuffing myself silly.
It was just one of those days and I headed to JB Sutera Mall to have a day of utter emptiness and do nothing but shop and eat. I woke up in the late hours of the bright afternoon and by the time I arrived at my destination it was way pass lunch time. I desperately needed food and after one single round of walking pass all possible F&B outlets, I decided to stick to something I have ate before at KSL - D' Shanghai. It felt safe and I wanted to save some space for a better dinner.
Dishes are ranked in descending order of like:
Fried Prawn Dumplings (RM7.20) cannot go wrong.
Actually anything deep fried stuffed with prawns can't go wrong.
Fried Carrot Cake (RM7.50) was surprisingly pleasant and had great flavour. Definitely not something I would expect be nice in a dim sum restaurant. Loving the crispy bits.
Vegetables (Choi Sin) with Oyster Sauce RM7.50 was not bad, at least so much better than some of the following dishes.
Fried garlic on vegetables with oyster sauce, won't go wrong.
Steamed Prawn Dumplings / Har Gou (RM5.80) had its skin slightly on the thick side, but filling was fresh with a slight crunch. You know how some har gou have mushy fillings?
Thank god, this wasn't like that.
I still cannot get over the fact that their Signature Xiao Long Bao costs only RM4.80
(which is a mere S$1.70)
Seriously I have nothing to complain.
Beancurd Skin in Broth (RM5.50) something you order hoping to comfort your soul but end up tasting nothing but MSG.
Zha Jiang Noodles (RM11.90) was an utter disappointment, the sauce was flavourless and didn't coat the noodles. Even after adding soya sauce, it was still bland.
Fried Spring Rolls (RM4.50) was an absolute nightmare. Seriously how do you even make spring rolls taste bad?
I cannot even describe how "not-spring roll-like" this spring roll was.
Prawn Rice Rolls / Chee Cheong Fun (RM7.20) was like eating a thick sheet of steamed plain dough and I had to really dismantle the whole thing to look for a couple 5mm pieces of chopped up shrimp.
The total bill including drinks only cost me RM83 (less than S$30) and filled up 2 full grown adults' tummies. Honestly with a favorable exchange rate like this (2.8) I shall not even attempt to make nasty comments on mediocre dim sum.
Just remember - have no high expectations, smile, and move on to the next makan stop.
Overall verdict: 3/5
Will I come back again?
Most likely I will, when I really have no special cravings and just need simple fare to fill up my tummy.
