[Food Review] OpenRice MakanVenture @ Dong Yi Shun Chinese Muslim Restaurant


Since my China backpacking trip few months ago my crave for authentic chinese cuisine never stops, so when I got an invitation from OpenRice MakanVenture to try out the Chinese Muslim restaurant Dong Yi Shun (东伊顺) @ Dataran Glomac Kelana Jaya, I was pretty excited hoping that this could be my crave-stop remedy.. So how was it you ask? Well let's just say the quest searching for authentic chinese cuisine continue.. -_____-

Dong Yi Shun @C-G-06, Ground Floor, Dataran Glomac, Jalan SS6/5B, Kelana Jaya, 
Petaling Jaya, 47301 Selangor 
Interior/deco. 

Don’t get me wrong though, the food here at Dong Yi Shun is quite nice for a chinese muslim restaurant in malaysia & they come with a presentable plating plus a very reasonable price. Also their warm welcoming services by those lovely and sincere waiters is something that I would give credit to. ^^ However the drawn back here is that the taste of most dishes we tried just wasn’t satisfying enough as I was expecting a little bit more from this well develop franchise originated from China since they are a well develop group with more than 10 restaurants around Ningbo, Hangzhou, Yiwu & over 10 years of experience in serving Chinese Muslim food. Personally most of the dishes aren’t really close to what I had back in China, probably because of the changes in taste they made to suit the appetite of locals, some might find it a thoughtful gesture however I still favors the authentic recipe.

a glimpse of the menu & what we had :)

Overall what standout among all the food that we tried would be their beef & other meat based dishes. The nicely marinated tender meat which coated with assorted herbs and spices are simply aromatic & irresistible. The minced beef filling for Xiao Long Bao & Pan Fried Dumpling are pretty impressive too & they would've been perfect if not for the lack of juicy broth. As for the rest of the food, average & decent would be my word of description. -___-

Handmade La Mian (pulled noodles) made on the spot upon order.
For noodles lovers, don't forget to try out their handmade La Mian, a huge bowl of delightful springy thin noodles made by constant pulling, twisting & tossing of a lump of dough via the muslim chef originated from china.^^
Seafood La Mian
Hot & Sour Soup
So if you're looking for a decent chinese muslim restaurant with reasonable price somewhere around kelana jaya, Dong Yi Shun (东伊顺) would be a nice option to be taken into consideration.
