* 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.

Closed the tab and immediately reopened it ten minutes later because I wanted to reread a part, and a stop at amberridgecommercegallery drew the same return, content that pulls you back after closing it is doing something well beyond the average and worth marking as exceptional in my mental catalogue of reliable sites.
Picked up two new ideas that I expect will come up in conversations this week, and a look at premiumcartarena added another, content that arms me with talking points rather than just filling time is the kind that provides ongoing value beyond the moment of reading and this site is generating that kind of ongoing value.
Honestly enjoyed not being sold anything for the entire duration of the post, and a look at uplandcovevendorparlor kept that pleasant absence going across more pages, content that exists for its own sake rather than as a funnel to a paid product is increasingly rare and worth supporting where I can find it.
A piece that earned its conclusions through the body rather than asserting them at the end, and a look at emberstonevendorlounge maintained the same earned quality, conclusions that follow from what came before are more persuasive than declarations and this site has clearly internalised that principle in how it constructs arguments throughout pieces.
Reading carefully here has reminded me what reading carefully feels like, and a look at timbertrailcraftcollective extended that reminder, the experience of careful reading versus skimming is different in ways I had partially forgotten and this site has clearly refreshed my memory of what attention feels like when content rewards it consistently.
Coming back to this one, definitely, and a quick visit to valecoveartisanexchange only made me more sure of that, the kind of writing that makes you want to set aside time later rather than rushing through it now while distracted by everything else competing for attention on the screen today across so many tabs.
Now recognising the post as a rare example of careful writing on a topic that mostly receives careless treatment, and a stop at crystalharborvendorhall extended that contrast with the average elsewhere, content that highlights how much the average is settling for low quality is content that has both internal merit and external value as a benchmark.
Excellent post, balanced and well organised without showing off, and a stop at chestnutharborvendorstudio continued in that same vein, this site has clearly figured out the formula for content that works for readers rather than for search engine ranking signals which is harder than it sounds today and worth real recognition from anyone.
Now thinking about whether the writer might publish a longer form work I would buy, and a look at progressbuiltintentionally suggested the same depth would translate, content that makes me want to pay for related work in other formats is content that has earned commercial trust as well as attention trust and this site has both clearly.
Took a chance on the headline and was rewarded, and a stop at silverharborvendorhall kept the rewards coming as I clicked through, the kind of place where every link leads somewhere worth the click is a small luxury on the modern web where so many sites are mostly empty calories disguised as content.
Found the post genuinely useful for something I was working on this week, and a look at moveintoprogress added more material I will reference, content that connects to my actual life and work rather than just being interesting in the abstract is the kind I will pay attention to and return to repeatedly.
Took my time with this rather than rushing because the writing rewards attention, and after progressthroughfocus I had even more to absorb, the kind of content that pays back the patient reader rather than punishing them with empty filler is something I look for and rarely find in regular searches lately.
Recommended without reservation for anyone interested in the topic at any level of expertise, and a look at curiopact only strengthens that recommendation, this site clearly knows how to serve readers across a range of backgrounds without watering down the content or talking past anyone in the audience which is genuinely impressive to see.
Just one of those reads that left me feeling slightly more capable rather than overwhelmed, and a look at easyshopgoods kept that empowering feel going, the difference between content that builds the reader up and content that intimidates them is huge and this site clearly knows which side of that line to stand.
Felt like the writer was speaking directly to someone with my level of curiosity, neither talking down nor showing off, and a stop at floraridgevendorroom kept that comfortable matching going, finding writing that meets you where you are rather than asking you to climb up or stoop down feels great every time it happens.
Decided to set aside time later to read more carefully, and a stop at galafactors 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.
Solid stuff, the kind of post that I will probably refer back to later this month when the topic comes up again, and a look at focusenablesgrowth only confirmed I should bookmark the site as a whole rather than just this single page for future reference and use across coming weeks.
Liked the way the post balanced confidence and humility, and a stop at shopgridmarket maintained the same balance, knowing when to assert and when to acknowledge uncertainty is a sign of mature thinking and the writers here have clearly developed that calibration through what I assume is years of careful work on their craft.
Reading this in three sittings because the day was fragmented, and the piece survived the fragmentation, and a stop at coralharborartisanexchange held up under similar reading conditions, content engineered for continuous attention is fragile in modern conditions and this site reads as durable across the realistic ways people consume content today.
