boon's log 2009.07: Foodie Sunday: breakie with the dragon

This is one of the rare weekends when the grandparents are in town, but we did not get to have breakfast with them - they were busy with toilet repair in their condo. So, the 3 of us had to head out for breakfast on our own.


Dragon-i's Lai Mian

Ab initially wanted McD (again!), but IL insisted that she's been having too much of it already and should take a break from it this weekend - CL bought her McD on Tuesday, I think. Anyways, second in her list was Noodles (like that in Kungfu Panda). And her mom also promised her ice cream. So we decided to head down to Queensbay Mall - all under one roof.


Dragon-i's Xiao Loong Bao

She loves the Shanghai Dumpling (Siao Loong Bao) and the Noodles (Lai Mian). And she realy packed them in. Everyone seemed to have the question - "Where did all the food go?!" Not too very long ago, I've the same phrase used before too ;) Like father, like daughter, I guess! ;)


The kitchen used to be very busy, but rather empty and not so much activities...

dragon-i's typically loaded with people - we tried getting a place during Mother's Day last week, and there was a queue just to get your name registered in their book (!!!). But this morning was a totally different story - we just waltz in freely. and there was no line and ample tables - we can even take our pick which table we wanted. And food was speedy enough.


Ab's short wait for her Xiao Loong Bao - seen here with her pony tail :)


It took them less than 7 minutes (really!) to get the first bowl of Lai Mian on our table. Then came the Xiao Loong Baos. So, if you really want stress-free Dragon-I visits, try it at 11:30AM. This was truly my best dragon-i experience so far.


the "terra cotas" guarding the "dragon"

After that, we shopped for a little bit before heading down for NZ Ice cream... and then headed home for a some R&R... relaxing Sunday, indeed.

Oh, and unlike Rafa - as what they always say, "May the best team win." Indeed, the best team has claimed the EPL title this year. Kudos to the Red Devils. But I have to agree the Reds have really done well this year. Good season, indeed, but could have been better. :)

boon out...
