The name struck me as a rather weird name for a restaurant. but then again, I don't really mind much so long as the food and service of an eating place is good. Priority of course in placed on the food quality.


Notice the little pau drawing that's next to the Chinese writings. As you've probably guessed based on this, one of the famous specialty dishes at Dragon-i is of course the Shaghainese Meat Dumplings. These dumplings are also known as 'Xiao Lung Pau' (in mandarin) are a definite must have when at Dragon-i. Remember to puncture the skin to allow the steaming hot soup to seep out from the meat dumpling before sinking your teeth into this mouth watering delicacy though. Else you might end up with a 'burnt tongue'. Slices of ginger or a few dabs of vinegar can be included depending on individual preferences. the meat dumplings are as shown in figure below.

Another must have which I had the opportunity to try is the Honey Glazed Smoked Duck which comes in a serving of four. Among the goodies which are served together on the platter are of course
i) Smoked Duck with Crispy Skin and Glazed with a coat of Honey.
ii) Boiled lotus seed
iii)Warm Roll
iv)Fried Bean Curd
v) Crunchy Cucumber
As shown below, the combination looks delicious and absolutely mouth watering.

Last but not least is the 'La Mien' (in mandarin) which is somewhat similar to that of the Japanese 'Ramen'. These noodles are all freshly made by the chefs who display their incredible sills of 'La Mien' making behind the glass paneled kitchen which happens to be one of the Trademarks of Dragon-i. A wide range of 'La Mien' cooking combinations are offered ranging from Sichuan Style to Normal Soup Style or Fried Style. Each cooking style has and individual and unique taste to it and is bound to make you long for more. I personally recommend the 'La Mien' with vegetable wanton as it is still my favorite among the few that I've tried.
[*Apologize that I haven't been able to get a picture of the 'La Mien' - shall try to update when i do get a picture of it though.]

There is currently a wide chain of Dragon-i restaurants available which I will be including at the bottom of this post. Among the main trademarks that will hep you identify the shop would be the very Red background restaurant name board. (e.g. the very first picture of this post) and the line of the terracotta warriors which are used as part for the decor for each outlet. And i believe the best guide of all to help [any of you people who are interested to give it a try] would be the exact address of the other outlets
