Anyway, there is a new John King outlet opened in 1 Utama. Situated at the Lower Ground Floor Just opposite the Laksa Shack.

John King 1U outlet

John King Egg Tart is said to be originally from Hong Kong. The outlet offers a wide range of egg tarts and also siu pao, chicken pie and lou phor peng. The flavors are rather interesting. Definitely something new in the egg tart arena. There’s Red Bean Tart, Durian Tart, Corn Tart, Green Tea/Macha Tart, Coffee Tart, Original Egg Tart and White Egg Tart. The original egg tarts also comes with 2 different crust; flaky or cookie.

Egg tarts selection

The tarts goes at RM1.60 to RM2.00 depending on the flavors. However, now they are having a special promotional package whereby half a dozen tarts (6 tarts) is priced at RM9.50 regardless of flavors.

From RM1.60 to RM2.00

Needless to say, i bought a box of half dozen.

Half dozen

I find that the crust is soft but the egg tart filling is too liquid and soggy. Kind of like eating a hot cheese tart rather than an egg tart. I had a hard time eating it because the whole thing keeps falling apart. Maybe i should have let it sit and cool before sinking my teeth into it.

Ready to be eaten

The Green Tea Egg tart tasted really weird but the rest of it is not bad. I loved the Corn Egg Tart the best. Call me old fashion but i still prefer the Tong Kee egg tart texture. Overall i give it a 4/5 for innovation but a 3/5 for yummylicious.

It’s was good to find out that they have introduced some new dishes on the menu.

Cold Pig Shank

The Cold Pig Shank (shank is somewhere on the lower leg of the pig) is eaten as an appetizer. As it is with the name of the dish, it’s eaten cold. I was a bit skeptical about this dish because it looks quite raw. I’ve never eaten meat cold before except for sashimi which i don’t really fancy. However, it wasn’t so bad. Crunchy but i won’t order it in the future. The jellyfish that comes with it was superb though.

Siew Lung Pao

Of course we did gobbled up our share of “siew lung pao” which i simply love.

Sauteed Chicken with Dried Chili

One of the popular dish at Dragon-i is the Sauteed Chicken with Dried Chili. It comes in a basket and it looks pretty intimidating. The small popcorn size pieces of chicken are fried and served with a whole lot of dried chili. Just looking at it makes you feel warm.

This is one of my favorite dish here. Just be careful you don’t bite too much of the chili seeds.

Brinjal with Fish

Other dishes was quite good.

Beancurd with mushroom

Another signature dish is the Shanghainese Braised Pork Belly. It’s served in something like a hotpot to keep it warm and it also comes with cute little “man tao” (bread). Very very nice. The sauce is sweet but and the pork is very juicy and tender. Enough to make you drool.

It’s supposed to look like this but i forgot to snap a photo before it’s too late.

Braised Pork Belly with Beancurd Leaves

Now i remember… -_-”

Almost gone!

One thing i hate at this restaurant is the queue. It’s almost always too crowded. The queue gets too long sometimes. This also means that the customer service is not really good. There are always not enough staffs to serve the customers.

Cold Pig Shank – RM13.00
Siew Lung Pao/Shanghai Meat Dumpling (x2) – RM18.00
Sauteed Chicken with Dried Chili – RM20.00
Eggplant with Fish – RM22.00
Beancurd with Mushroom – RM18.00
Braised Pork Belly – RM23.00
Rice (x6) – RM6.00
Chinese tea (x6) – RM12.00
Wet towel – (x6) – RM6.00

Here are the first 12 from the 22 things to follow when you’re wining and dining in France especially Paris. If you’re not in France, do take note too because girls would definitely appreciate it… maybe LOL.

Note: that i have edited and omitted some sentences that is not really appropriate to post here.

1) At the table, diners must always be seated in the sequence of man-woman-man-woman.

2) At the restaurant, woman always order first.

3) At the table, there should always be glasses for wine and also water whereby the water glasses should be bigger than the wine glasses.

4) Non-French wine should be ordered only in ethnic restaurant or if bottles of French wine ran out.

5) At the restaurant, waiters will ask who is going to taste the wine. Men usually do.

6) At home, the first drop from a new bottle of wine should be poured into your own glass just in case there are cork remnants. The women glasses are filled first.

7) When opening champaign, hold the cork and turn the bottle.

Before touching the food, it is polite to say ‘bon appetit’. Men should wait for women to have their first taste before starting.

9) It is polite to discuss food at the table but not for too long. Ask your fellow diners how their food is like.

10) Parisian thinks it’s vulgar to hold the fork vertically like a skewer while you cut the meat with a knife.

11) Knives should never be crossed (even in the sink waiting to be washed) because it symbolizes conflict.

12) Meat may be served when almost raw in Paris, so it’s consider an insult to send back the red/bloody meat to the chef saying it’s uncooked.
