* This restaurant is no longer in business.*
If not because of Cariso, I will not go to D’Piazza Mall for food. D’Piazza Mall, located near to Sunshine Square, is still a building that not fully occupied. You only can find a few restaurants there. I always pass by and notice that, their business are not really good, not many customers. Maybe this situation will become better when the apartment is ready.
Demax Restaurant is the restaurant we are going for a review this time. Cariso posted about her dining experience in her blog. From that, the management of Demax contacted her for a review since they just change their management and staff.
There is a white board outside of the restaurant, promoting their “Today Special” Set Lunch. I still think they should have a proper menu, instead of writing on the white board. If want to have it on white board, at least they must make sure the hand writing is better. I came across many menu which are written on the blackboard, with very nice handwriting.
“Today Special” Set Lunch includes: Main Course of your choice (3 types of Big Bowl Rice), Soup, Drink (Yin Yong Milk Tea, Soya Milk or Lemon Tea) and Fruits. This Big Bowl Rice Set Lunch costs RM11.90 nett.
Big Bowl Rice Set.
3 types:
(a) Special Fried Fish (3 taste fish). To me, it is like sweet and sour fish. It is a bit spicy too since it has the small chili, as you can see from the photo.
(b) Sweet & Sour Chicken. I already forgot the taste for this.
(c) Kong Pou Pork. The pork is tender, but I cannot taste the Kong Pou taste.
If you don’t want to order the set lunch, you can always order the side dishes.
Ice Sour Plum Pork Rib (Small RM8.50). This one is quite good. The pork ribs are a bit big. It is recommended to chop into slightly smaller pieces.
Special Tofu (Small RM8.00 / Medium RM10.00 / Large RM12.00). I like this one. The gravy has the wine taste. Maybe it should have more Enoki Mushroom, don’t you think so? I just like the Enoki Mushroom!
Lime Steamed Siakap (RM28). The fish is just OK to me, average.
Curry Sotong (RM8.00). The curry is not spicy enough, can be better.
Salad Chicken (Small RM8.00, Large RM16.00). The color of the Fried Chicken is a bit dull. It suppose to be golden color. The Mayonnaise is a bit too much on this dish. Not bad, if don’t complain much.
Oyster Noodle (RM5.80). Not bad, I quite like it. Maybe can have more oyster. 🙂
Seafood Cheng Thng Noodle (RM6.50). It is too plain to me. Just like the instant noodle that you can cook by yourself.
Tom Yam Noodle (RM5.80). Not really like it since the Tom Yam is not like the Tom Yam I like. To me, Tom Yam suppose to be spicy and sour but this is sweet!
Thai Style Chicken (Medium RM14.00). The gravy is the same as the Special Fried Fish. Not bad. See, the color of the fried chicken suppose to be like this, and not like the Salad Chicken.
Special Fried Rice (RM12.00 – will revise price later). Personally, I like this fried rice. When it is served, the smell will make you hungry. However, when you start to eat, it seems like not really taste like what you have smelled. Not match. After you continue to eat for some time, the taste is coming back. Is it sounds weird to you? Anyway, you can try order this if you dine there.
Drinks
Detox health drink (Carrot, cucumber, apple, beetroot, celery) RM5.90. I don’t like the taste as it has celery. But this kind of detox health drink is good for your body.
滄海一香 Shandy+Champaign+Sea coconut (RM5.90). It’s like drinking Shandy. No doubt, it is special, with a special name too.
Ice Blended Smoothies Milo (RM4.50). Second version prepared by the boss.Consider not bad already.
Ice Blended Smoothies Mango (RM4.50). Not really like it, the mango taste is weird.
Before we start to eat, I managed to take a photo with all the some of the foods on the table.
Interior.
Lighting.
Business hour.
Overall, if you are not a choosy and picky type, you can give Demax restaurant a try. To me, it is only average and I really hope the standard of the food can be improved.

Found the writing surprisingly fresh for what is by now a well covered topic, and a stop at cloudharbortradehall kept that freshness going across the related pages, original perspective on familiar ground is hard to come by and this site has clearly earned its place in the conversation rather than just rehashing old ideas.
Came back to this twice now in the same week which is unusual for me, and a look at cottonbrookvendorfoundry suggested I will keep coming back, the kind of post that earns repeated visits rather than one and done reading is the gold standard for content quality and this site clearly hit that standard.
Solid post, the structure is easy to follow and the language stays simple even when the topic gets a bit more involved, and a look at flarequills kept that same standard going, so I left feeling like the time spent here was actually worth something for once which is rare lately.
During a quiet evening reading session this provided just the right depth without being heavy, and a stop at garnetbrookvendorfoundry maintained the same evening appropriate weight, content with depth that does not exhaust the reader is content with editorial calibration and this site has clearly figured out how to be substantial without being demanding all the time.
Decided I would read the archives over the weekend, and a stop at cottonmeadowmarkethall confirmed that the archives would be worth the time, very few sites have archives I would actively read through but this one has earned that level of interest based on the consistent quality across what I have sampled so far.
Decided to set aside time later to read more carefully, and a stop at emberstonevendorlounge reinforced that decision, content that earns a calendar entry rather than just a passing read is in a different tier altogether and this site is clearly working at that elevated level which I really do appreciate as a reader today.
Coming to this with low expectations and being pleasantly surprised by the substance, and a stop at ferncovecommerceatelier continued exceeding expectations, the recalibration of expectations upward across multiple positive readings is one of the actual rewards of careful browsing and this site is providing that recalibration at a steady rate apparently.

A thoughtful read in a week that has been mostly noisy, and a look at birchbrookvendorfoundry carried that thoughtful quality across more pages, finding pockets of considered writing in a week of distractions is one of the small wins of careful curation and this site is providing those pockets at a sustainable rate.
Generally I bookmark sparingly to avoid building up a bookmark graveyard but this one earned a permanent slot, and a stop at directionalclaritywins extended that permanence designation, the few sites I keep permanent bookmarks for are sites I expect to use repeatedly and this one has clearly cleared that expectation bar today.
Reading this between meetings turned out to be the most useful thing I did all afternoon, and a stop at tealcovecraftcollective kept that productivity feeling going, content can sometimes outperform actual work in terms of what gets accomplished mentally and this site managed that today which is genuinely a high bar to clear consistently.
Closed the tab feeling I had spent the time well, and a stop at skyharborcraftcollective extended that feeling across more pages, the test of whether time on a site was well spent is one I apply silently after closing tabs and very few sites pass it but this one passed it cleanly today afternoon clearly.
Really appreciate that the writer did not overstate the importance of the topic to make the post feel weightier, and a quick visit to createforwarddirection maintained the same modest framing, content that is honest about its own scope rather than inflating itself is the kind I trust and return to repeatedly over time.
Honestly the simplicity is what makes this work, the topic is not buried under filler words or overly complex examples, and a quick look at elmbrooktradingfoundry showed the same sensible style, I left with what I came for and no headache from over reading which is a real win these days.
Took something from this I did not expect to find, and a stop at levqino added another unexpected useful piece, content that exceeds expectations rather than just meeting them is the kind that builds enthusiasm and earns repeat visits without any explicit ask from the writer or platform behind the work being read.
Now realising this site has been quietly doing good work for longer than I knew, and a look at creekharborcraftcollective suggested an archive worth exploring, sites with deep archives of consistent quality represent a different kind of resource than sites with viral hits and this one looks like the durable kind based on what I see.
Honestly this was the highlight of my reading queue today, and a look at brightharborvendorhall extended that across more pages I will return to, ranking what I read against what else I read each day is something I do informally and this site keeps moving up in those rankings the more I explore it.
Generally I bookmark sparingly to avoid building up a bookmark graveyard but this one earned a permanent slot, and a stop at quartzmeadowmarketgallery extended that permanence designation, the few sites I keep permanent bookmarks for are sites I expect to use repeatedly and this one has clearly cleared that expectation bar today.
Now realising the topic deserved better treatment than it has been getting elsewhere, and a look at meadowharborvendorhall extended that broader recognition, content that exposes the gap between actual quality and average quality elsewhere is doing the quiet work of raising standards and this site is contributing to that elevation in its own corner.
Reading this confirmed a hunch I had been carrying about the topic without having articulated it, and a stop at lacehelm extended the confirmation, content that gives shape to fuzzy intuitions is doing the rare work of making private thoughts public and this site is providing that articulating service consistently for me lately.
Closed the laptop and walked away thinking about the post for a good twenty minutes, and a stop at coastharborvendorhall produced similar lingering thoughts, content that survives the closing of the browser tab is content that has actually entered the mind rather than just decorating the screen for the duration of the reading.
Recommended without hesitation if you care about careful coverage of this topic, and a stop at stylishbuycorner reinforced the recommendation, the bar I set for unhesitating recommendations is fairly high and this site has cleared it through the cumulative weight of multiple consistently good pieces rather than through any single standout post which is meaningful.
Thanks for a post that does not try to be funny when it is not the moment for it, and a stop at globebeat maintained the same appropriate seriousness, knowing when humour helps and when it just signals desperation for engagement is a sign of editorial maturity that many blogs have not developed yet.
During a quiet evening reading session this provided just the right depth without being heavy, and a stop at onlinedealspoint maintained the same evening appropriate weight, content with depth that does not exhaust the reader is content with editorial calibration and this site has clearly figured out how to be substantial without being demanding all the time.
Came away with a small but real shift in perspective on the topic, and a stop at garnetharbortradinghouse pushed that shift a bit further, the kind of subtle reframing that good writing does to a reader without making a big deal of it is something I always appreciate when it happens which is sadly not that often.
Came across this and immediately thought of a friend who would enjoy it, and a stop at creekharbortradehall also reminded me of someone, content that triggers the urge to share is content that has earned my recommendation and this site has earned multiple from me already across different conversations during the week.
