It's a new La Mian restaurant located opposite of Starbucks, Mid Valley. According to the manager, their famous food is "La Mian" and "Xiao Loong Pau" .
11th December 2006, was the 1st day of their business. I don't think they had the grand opening yet, as I didn't see any lion dance nor cocktail party. As it's really a typical Chinese Restaurant, so I think they should have lion dance thingy for their grand opening. If not, probably some of the MY FM's DJs will be there coz it's owns by one of them. No wonder I saw one of the DJ quite often when the restaurant was renovating.
Since it's just located downstair of my office, so definetely me and my colleagues will go and try it out! Sad to say, the food and service are really dissapointing. I don't think we'll go there again n the near future, probably will only give it a visit if they have tea-time special on Xiao Loong Pau!

Ok, first when we sat at the table, it wasn't clean thoroughly. There was still a plate of vinegar which was left by the customer before us, and also a blank napkin cover. After the waitress took down our order, we waited for half and hour, but the food still didn't arrive yet, only the "Huo Tie" which arrived the fastest among ALL the food that we ordered. After asking the manager to check again on our order, we only got to know that there was no electricity in the kitchen, so they couldn't manage to fried my"Yang Cheng Fried Chicken La Mian" nor the " Fried Pork Ribs La Mian", so the manager asked us to order others La Mian in order to replace our previous order. I wonder if we didn't ask the manager to check back our order with the kitchen, I think we shall be sitting there for nearly 1 hour but to wait for nothing! Even the "Xiao Loong Pau" also have to wait for so darn long then only come out!!
Ok, talk back about the La Mian, since it's their famous food, but for the "Tan Tan La Mian" (or is it "Si Chuan Tan Tan La Mian"), gosh, I found out there's no ingredients in the La Mian. What they have is only the mee, spicy soup and white sesame! You can't find any meat in it! The soup is a bit spicy and it's full of white sesame, so it'll be like you're eating sesame noodle as the sesame flavours has overcome the flavour of the noodle. Please bear in mind, it costs RM 12 (If I'm not wrong, around that price, won't be cheaper than RM 10) with that "Tan Tan Mian" which has nothing in it except SESAME!!! Moreover, don't think that their La Mian is that nice too!! Oh yeah, we did ask the manager about the issue of "Why there's no ingredients like minced pork meat in the Tan Tan Mian"? and he told us this Tan Tan Mian version is like this one, as you can see, our chefs are from China, so this is their style of it! Ooo, RM 12 not included tax and service charge yet for a bowl of noodle with plain soup only, they really can serve it out to their customers ooo!!!
As for their "Xue Cai Rou Si La Mian", gosh, they gave you a bunch of Xue Cai like it's FOC, but only 2 TINY pieces of minced meat !! So you can imagine the La Mian is mostly cover with Xue Cai ONLY!!! And this costs around RM 12. My bro ordered "Fried Eel La Mian", oh my, they overcooked the mee, it was so soft! Well, you can see a few pieces of eel in the mee this time, much better!
Oh yeah, their napkin costs RM 1 each, and those napkins is exactly like those that we'll be using during dinner at those no name restaurants! If the napkin is like those that we have in Dragon-I, then RM 1 for it is still consider reasonable, as it's really packs nicely. But for the cheapo one, you charge RM 1 then it's really too much!!

The MOST recommended food of Tu Loong will be their Xiao Loong Pau, Huo Tie those stuffs.
But I think you can go there to try out their food if only you have spare time to waste! If not, it just wasting your time to wait for the food to come! However, I don't know if they have improve their serving time or not now, but I prefer Crystal Jade Palace in Lot 10 which is serving almost the same food as Tu Loong! Tu Long, Crystal Jade in Lot 10 and Dragon-I, all are serving the same food, and their menu is 99% the same!
After coming back from the restaurant, we realised that we had a food smell on our body, probably is the smell of the La Mian soup! As they're practicing somesort of open kitchen concept, so you'll get to smell it once you go to the upper floor of the restaurant. No doubt they have a nice design and deco for the restaurant, but for the food, they really need to be improved! However, I think their master chef got a cert for dunno what record one, probably when I ate that day, the La Mian wasn't cooked by him!
