皇后大道东茶室 Qzway Cafe — Restaurant in Iskandar Puteri

鸳鸯 Cham (Cold) = RM3.20 港式蒸烧卖 Hong Kong Styled Steamed Siew Mai = RM6.90 晶莹鲜虾饺 Crystal Shrimp Dumpling = RM6.90 酥脆萝卜糕 Crispy Radish Cake = RM5.90 Service Charge = RM1.37

With an Overall Score of only 2.5 Stars out of 40 Reviews in Google Maps, this place is being completely Demolished into Pieces by the Reviews. Everything from Bad Service to Horrific Tasting, Badly Fried Dim Sums, to even the Drinks being Tasteless. Ouch! So of course I had to give this a try!

The First thing that I felt upon entering the place was that the Aircon was Cold and Nice, certainly a Refreshing Feel as it was a Terribly Hot Day. Nicely Decorated, Renovated and Cleanly Kept, this place was Decent Looking.

The Staff were also Polite and Friendly and the Young Lady who served me was Chirpy and Friendly, holding her Ipad and ready to take my orders anytime. No complaints about the Service tbh.

The Inhouse Chilli is also a Garlic Chilli (I noticed so far all the Chilli for Dim Sum places in this Tasek Central area are all Garlic Chilli) though the Garlic Chilli here tastes slightly different as it is more Garlicky and not as sweet as the one in Mr Long or Yu Pin.

鸳鸯 Cham (Cold) = RM3.20

"Cham" is how Malaysia calls "Yuan Yang" which is a Combination of both Coffee and Tea. The Version here is Not Bad, Not Quite Coffee and Not Quite Tea, though I feel it leans more towards Coffee and feels abit Strong too. Cold and Refreshing, it is also Not Too Sweet. This is a very Acceptable Cham, certainly not Tasteless.

港式蒸烧卖 Hong Kong Styled Steamed Siew Mai = RM6.90

I think the Siew Mai here has the Softest, Most Delicate Fragile Skin I've tasted so far in JB as it breaks at the Slightest Touch. Appearance though don't look as Elegant as other Siew Mais with a Flat-Top which makes it look like Factory Made Siew Mai tbh. Meat is Bouncy and Juicy although not as Juicy as other Siew Mais I've eaten. The Soft Skin is really the Distinguishing Factor for me here.

晶莹鲜虾饺 Crystal Shrimp Dumpling = RM6.90

Har Kow was ok. Skin is slightly Thicker and feels like it may have a Doughy Bitefeel, but luckily it is not Doughy. Shrimp Taste is Mild, Filling is Bouncy and Juicy. This is an Acceptable Har Kow for me.

酥脆萝卜糕 Crispy Radish Cake = RM5.90

This is the one that I think got the Most Flak from Reviewers. And yes I do agree that Visually, it looks Overly-Fried although it does have a Nice Fried Smell when served.

Batter is Crispy and not too Thick. The Cake Meat is Soft but still has a slightly Firmer Bite Feel and unfortunately not the Melt in the Mouth type. Changman Dim Sum at Bukit Indah for now is still the Most Softest Carrot Cake Meat for me. Overall taste for this I feel is still acceptable, although I must admit they should improve on this as it does look Embarrassingly Ugly and Burnt. Feel free to skip this one.

Overall, I feel there is Nothing Particularly Outstanding for the Dishes, but also Nothing as Bad as how the Online Reviews claim. Other than the Ugly Overly-Fried Radish Cake, I feel they are all quite Acceptable. Service was Decent. At the very least they didn't rush to keep my plates even while I was still eating like what Mr Long Dim Sum did.

I do like the Soft Skin of the Siew Mai here and at the price of RM24.27 (S$7.00) for everything I ordered, I feel this is still reasonable and I can recommend to come give this a try.

By the way, overall experience is okay, just the food:

Curry fish head not enough coconut milk (The reason why it might not fragrant enough）around healthy perspective, it’s still can be acceptable

The vegetable maybe not much tasty (It feels like lots of vegetables was cook together and left all of them alone) but in fact it is not, just taste issue

The squid is okay

Large portion’s curry fish head: fill up with enough of ingredients and promotion price, so the total bill of our dinner still not much expensive, overall experience acceptable and might satisfied but still require improvement.

Moreover, the situation of restaurant was only a few people on 05 May 2024 (4.30pm), that might led to the temperature of air conditional might not turned down to very cold, so when eating spicy food makes me sweat a lots.

It is recommended to eat there when you have time to try out new tastes and new location to fill the stomach.
