The entrance is like any typical Chinese restaurant except for its green colour scheme which signifies it is a Muslim restaurant. This is indicated in smaller characters below the restaurant name.
The interior with its dark wood furniture decor excludes a very oriental feel especially with its carved cupboard and wooden hangings.
There are also Islamic calligraphic pictures on the walls giving it a very calming and peaceful feel.
Most interesting is a homely little room set aside as a surau so you can do your prayers too.
This our first dish of the night. Indeed it is fragrant and crispy. The fish is fresh and the sauce is sweet, sour and spicy. Very appetising!
The prawn dish is great too. The prawns are not shelled and give it a crunchy feel. You can actually consume the whole thing including the crunchy head. The shell will give you lots of calcium good for your bones and skin! The prawn meat is fresh and tasty. The sauce is peppery but tasted good.
I like this spicy chicken. Highly spiced and fried to quite dry. The spices are totally imbued into the meat. Very good to eat with a glass of beer! Oops! Sorry not in a Muslim restaurant la!
This sliced spicy potato dish is excellent. It is strongly spiced and the potato remain crunchy. It may be too spicy for some though.Besides the above dishes, the restaurant served a host of other dishes including Beef Ramen, Xiao Long Pao, Pan Fried Dumpling ( As in 'War Tip' at the Esquire Kitchen) and Sweet and Sour Soup. All tasted very typical of any Chinese restaurants. Thus if you are Muslims and really want to eat authentic Chinese Cuisine, you should come here.
A warning for those who may not used to eating hot spicy foods, just tell the waiter that you prefer less spicy.
The first Dong Yi Shun Restaurant is in Hangzhou, China where there are a significant number of Muslims. In Malaysia, besides the Kelana Jaya branch, there are branches in Summit USJ and Kota Damansara too. Every branch has an imported Chinese Muslim chef. The other cooks and waiters/waitresses are local Malays but trained by the imported chefs or in China.
Chicken, beef, mutton and seafood dishes are priced from RM9 to RM28. Soups good for 5/6 people are about RM10. Vegetable dishes are from RM7-10. Ramen selections are about RM8. The ramen is made in-house. Other fried noodles and rice are about RM7. There is an array of drinks and fruit juices ranges from RM3-5 only.
So if you are entertaining your Muslim friends or Malays entertaining your Chinese clients, this is one restaurant you can bring them and you will not regret.
Happy Dining!
