Dragon -i Restaurant in Penang, Malaysia

We were looking for a place to have dinner after shopping in Queensbay Mall in Penang, Malaysia recently. As we heard so much of Shanghainese specialties like "Xiao Long Bao", we decided on the famous Dragon-i Restaurant.


The Dragon-i Restaurant has many outlets in Malaysia especially in Kuala Lumpur and this one in Penang is located in QueensBay Mall, Lot No 2F-7, 78, 79 and 81. They are open daily from 11 am to 10 pm.

The Dragon-i Restaurant is famous for its "La Mien" or "Hand Pulled Noodles and "Xiao Long Bao".
