Sogo's main Chinese restaurant serves better-than-expected halal dim sum.Hot & fresh, juicy & flavorsome: All that describes this chicken siu mai (RM7 before taxes).Steamed scallop dumplings (RM9), smooth & sumptuous. A second helping, please.BBQ chicken buns. Not terrible, but there's no wisdom in stuffing the stomach with these when the menu features better options.Egg yolk custard buns (RM7), extremely enjoyable before it becomes cold.Since Siang is nestled in a shopping complex, it seems to be open all day long so there's no trouble ordering 'har gow' somewhat late in the afternoon. Love the savory-soupy seafood dumpling (RM10), for which we'll brave Sogo's surrounding traffic & internal parking woes.

RM12++ for 200 grams.Sea bass with yuzu soy sauce, sesame seeds, crispy garlic chips & olive sesame oil (RM28++).

The Sup Ketam (RM20++) is packed with tender crab meat in a broth that's flavorful with spices without being fiery.Grilled barramundi with a tasty "pes-pes" marinade of coconut, lemongrass, dried chili, tamarind, shallots & candle nuts. RM52++ for 400 grams. Perahu's clientele seems predominantly Muslim, but fortunately, South African wine is available by RM23++ glasses.

Photo Crafts, a venue that considers itself an "analogue lifestyle store."Photo Crafts has been operating for awhile now, but it only embarked on serving food in recent months; this signature beef burger is surprisingly worthwhile, with a beautifully seasoned patty complemented by fresh, well-executed accompaniments.Yam cake, creamy but not cloying, pleasantly sweet without being punishingly saccharine.Coffee, 100 percent Arabica, fair enough, easy enough to polish off.

Fuel exudes a cozy quirkiness that helps it stand out a bit amid Damansara Uptown's ocean of eateries.The menu's mainly Asian with modern twists; these "Beijing noodles" (RM7.90 before taxes), served chilled with pork, carrots & cucumbers, represent the recipe with the most traditional feel.Macau-inspired grilled pork chop bun (RM9.90). Fuel's food tastes fine enough, particularly considering these lower-than-expected prices. No complaints.Bonsai coffee (RM10.90), a peculiar beverage with chocolate cookie bits or something to create a miniature-plant-in-soil resemblance that could become Fuel's calling card.
