D'Shanghai (大上海) Dim Sum Restaurant

There are many good and bad reviews from the internet which make us curious about the place and decided to try it out on one of the Sunday noon...

Nice and cozy environment

All the staffs in the restaurant are very young and I think most of them are having their part time job here, but they were polite...

It's been a long time we haven't take Dim Sum in Johor Bahru area, and without a single word, we placed the order...

*  Signature Xiao Long Bao (灌汤小笼包）
*  Steamed Liu Sha Bao (流沙包）
*  Shanghai Fried Fen Pi (上海炒粉皮）
*  Stir Fried Carrot cake (炒萝卜糕）
*  Prawn Dumpling (虾饺)
*  Pork Dumpling (烧卖)
*  Chives Dumpling (韭菜饺)

Chives Dumpling (韭菜饺)

We were satisfied with the foods. The Fried Fen Pi was special and it had the springy bite on it, taste good. But the fried carrot cake was disappointed, maybe it doesn't suit my taste...
You have to be careful on the bite of the Xiao Long Bao and Liu Sha Bao, they will 'spurt'! :)

Others were Nice and delicious! All Dim Sums were fresh and it was really enjoy it in the air-con environment, and not forget the friendly staffs around...
Too bad we missed some of the nice foods there like : Taro Dumpling (芋饺) and Fried Avocador Rolls (龙须牛油果卷)...because we were overloaded!

The Damage : RM45.00 for the above Dim Sum included a pot of tea. Reasonable enough in this kind of environment and the above average taste, no comment at all! There are some Dim Sum restaurant in JB selling even higher price than here, but in the 'kopitiam' environment...

We will definitely be back again for others Dim Sum in this restaurant!

Comedy Show in The City Stage of Legoland, Johor.

It was our First time visit the 'City Stage' in Legoland, which just located on the left once you step into the Theme Park and our timing was just right!
The 30 minutes show was just about to begin, it was entertaining...

The audiences area was full once the show started...all came from different country around the World. Great!

She was the First performer, and Awesome!
If I'm not mistaken, she is from Denmark.

Excellent performance!

Followed by a group of comedian to search for something....Dangerous!

The shows was entertaining and it's also a well ventilated area. It's nice to let yourself have a short break with some cold drinks and snacks on the hot sunny day in Legoland. There are few shows time per day, do take note on the white board in front of the City Stage.

The cozy and relax environment will really let us enjoy our dinner peacefully...

Our order :-
*  American Grilled Beef set
*  Chicken Teriyaki
*  Unagi with rice set.

American Grilled Beef

I requested for medium and during the beef served on table, it was just perfect! Taste was above average and tender. Not Bad.

Chicken Teriyaki Set

The Chicken Teriyaki set for my wife was served with common side dishes but we felt it was more variety than we had it in Johor Bahru Japanese Restaurant. It had the Chicken Teriyaki, Cawan Mushi, rice, fruits, cucumber...etc. The extra was this...additional of 2 small pieces of Shisamo...

Shisamo

The Chicken Teriyaki taste nice and others were just as common...

Unagi fish with rice

My daughter was enjoyed her Unagi Rice quietly without any complain...I guess she was happy with her meal...:)

Overall, we like the quiet environment with some soft music, and the friendly staff around. It's a good place to dine-in. As for the foods, satisfied! Even the price is slightly higher compare with other Japanese Restaurant in JB, I think it still worth it because of the serving portion.

The Damage : RM99.00 included drinks for our meal above.

It's a nice restaurant and we will be back for more...

Nice tea-pot
