If I had to choose just one place to consider my favorite food spot in the world, this would be it. The eats at the food court is astounding. Sure, you may not have the same variety as you would in a more modernized eatery, but as the old adage goes, quality over quantity. The best thing, I think, that can be ordered at the food court is the ‘see hum chow fun’, It simply cannot be beat anywhere else. Various textures and flavors from the Ingredients that an uncle has painstakingly cooked on a flat wok until he deems the dish is ready. Should you still want more, there are street food vendors that are a skip, hop, and step away. Not only would I choose this food court for the great eats, but there is also an emotional attachment as my most fondest memories of family are here. It’s a place where I consider time to stand still and hope to make many trips back in the coming years.

Dragon-i sign

Fried carrot cakes

XiaoLongBao (Shanghainese steamed bun with succulent minced pork

Tung Ball Yoke (Braised Pork Belly)

Man Tou

Chong Yiu Bang (Onion pancake)

Wor teep (Pan fried dumplings)

Tong yuen (glutinous rice balls with fillings)
A really fun dinner with a whole lot of relatives and family, not to mention the food was quiet nice! Highlights for me were the fried carrot cakes and the xiaolongbao. The chong yiu bang and wor teep will never compare to my uncle’s home made ones, but were not bad. 🙂
Parking
Plenty of parking in the parking deck. There was a fee but am uncertain the cost.

Time to eat!
A wonderful experience to learn the basics of Kerala cuisine from such a passionate and kind individual. I will definitely need to check this restaurant out next time I’m in town. The food I had that day was great and can only imagine their other dishes are like. If anything, try the Cardamom tea. It’s fantastic!
