Raw Salmon Fish with Jelly Fish Yu Sheng/ 三文鱼海蜇捞生

(Rm 48++ for half portion; Rm 68++ for full portion)

To add a festive and welcoming touch for customers, Dragon-i is also offering customers with its Yee Sang- Raw Salmon Fish with Jelly Fish Yu Sheng/ 三文鱼海蜇捞生. Some notable ingredients are Pomelo, julienned Carrots, Pickled Garlic etc. The sweet and sour concoction is definitely a good starter to whet up your appetite! 

Braised Pork Knuckle Shanghainese Style/ 横财就手红烧大元蹄 (Rm 68++)

Pork lovers will be weak in the knees for this delicious Braised Pork Knuckle; little effort was necessary to detach the soft and tenderly cooked Pork Knuckle. It also has a perfect ratio of juicy tender meat to the creamy fats. I thought the dish might be too heavy and surfeit but I was wrong, the real draw of this dish was the thick and rich sauce, well-clung over the meat, completing the dish with a discernible sweetness. A dish that will be perfect spooned over rice. 

Fried Glutinous Rice with Waxed Meat/ 生炒腊味饭 (Rm 48++ for 2-3 pax)

Their Fried Glutinous Rice with Waxed Meat was a tummy pleaser; generous portion of sliced Waxed Chinese Pork Sausages/ and Supreme Preserved Liver Sausages as well as premium-quality Mushrooms were added to the dish. As you sink your teeth into the rice, you will be greeted with a strong and unique aroma of the Waxed Meat. However, I thought the dish will be even better if the Glutinous Rice was softer in texture and the absence of the "Wok" aroma left me underwhelmed. 

Water Chestnut Cream with Sea Coconut/ 清润海底椰炖马蹄露 (Rm 8++ per serving)

Complete your meal with a pleasingly comforting dessert- Water Chestnut Cream with Sea Coconut; eat the well-chilled dessert after the meal and it truly fits the definition of refreshing. It was sweet but not overly so. The addition of Water Chestnuts added a bit of crunch and a more layered dimension. A perfect remedy to counter the sweltering heat in the country.
