* 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.

A piece that respected the reader by not over explaining the obvious, and a look at bayharborartisanexchange continued that calibrated approach, finding the right level of explanation is one of the harder editorial calls and this site has clearly thought carefully about what readers will already know versus what they need help with consistently.
Now feeling confident that this site will continue producing work I will want to read, and a look at dunecovecraftcollective extended that confidence into the future, projecting forward from current quality to expected future quality is something I do for sites I genuinely follow and this one has earned that forward looking trust clearly today.
Bookmark earned and the bookmark feels like a permanent addition rather than a maybe, and a look at chestnutharborcraftcollective confirmed that permanent status, the difference between durable bookmarks and ephemeral ones is something I have learned to feel quickly and this site triggered the durable feeling almost immediately during my first read here.
Felt the writer respected me as a reader without making a show of doing so, and a look at coralmeadowcommercegallery continued that quiet respect, this is the kind of small but meaningful detail that separates the sites I bookmark from the ones I close after a single skim and never return to again no matter how interesting the headline.
Pass this along to anyone you know dealing with similar questions, the answers here are clear, and a stop at plumharborvendorroom adds even more useful material, this is the kind of resource that deserves to circulate widely rather than getting lost in the constant churn of new content online that buries good work daily.
Thanks for putting this online without locking it behind email signups or paywalls, and a quick visit to globebeats kept that open feel going, content that trusts the reader to come back rather than gating access is the kind of approach I will reward with regular return visits over time happily.
Started imagining how I would explain the topic to someone else after reading, and a look at gladeridgemarketparlor gave me more material for that imagined explanation, content that improves my own ability to discuss a topic is content that has actually transferred knowledge rather than just decorating my screen for a few minutes.
Liked everything about the experience, from the opening through to the closing notes, and a stop at acornharborartisanexchange extended that into more pages, finding a site where the editorial vision shows through every choice rather than feeling random is an increasingly rare experience and one I am glad to have today during this particular reading session.
A piece that did not waste any of its substance on sales or promotion, and a look at fastpickzone continued that pure content focus, sites that resist the urge to monetise every paragraph are increasingly rare and this one has clearly made the editorial choice to keep the writing clean from commercial intrusion which I value highly.
Now planning to write about the topic myself eventually using this post as a reference, and a look at trailharborcraftcollective would also serve in that future piece, content that becomes raw material for my own writing rather than just informing my reading is content with multiplicative value and this site is generating that multiplicative effect.
However casually I came to this site I have ended up reading carefully, and a look at iciclebrookmarketroom continued earning that careful reading, the conversion from casual visitor to careful reader is something content earns rather than demands and this site has accomplished that conversion for me over the course of just a few pieces.
Thanks for not padding this with the usual filler intros and outros that every other blog seems to require, and a quick visit to trailharborcommercegallery continued that lean approach across more posts, content stripped of waste is content that respects you and I will always come back to that kind of approach.
Reading this in the morning set a good tone for the day, and a quick visit to granitegrovegoroom kept that good tone going, content can do that sometimes when it hits the right notes and finding sites that consistently strike that tone is something I have learned to recognise and reward with regular visits.
Solid little post, the kind that does not need to be flashy because the substance is doing the work, and a look at findyourprogresslane kept that quiet confidence going across the site, this is what writing looks like when the writer trusts the content to land on its own without theatrics or unnecessary attention seeking behaviour.
Top tier post, the kind that makes you want to share the link with friends working in the same area, and a stop at crystalcovevendorworkshop only made me more confident in doing that, this site is one of the better resources I have seen on the topic recently across both new and older posts.
Skipped a meeting reminder to finish the post, and a stop at junipercoveartisanexchange held me past another reminder, when content beats meetings the writer is doing something extraordinary because meetings have institutional support behind them and yet good writing can still occasionally win that competition for attention which I find heartening today.
Thanks for the readable length, I finished it without checking how much was left, and a stop at globalcartcorner kept me reading the same way, when I stop noticing the length of a piece because the content is engaging enough to sustain attention without willpower the writer has done their job well today.
Thanks for putting in the work to make this approachable, plenty of sites cover the same ground but most do it badly, and a quick visit to woodcoveartisanexchange confirmed this one stands apart, simple language and useful examples without anyone trying to sell me anything along the way which I really appreciated.
Now realising the post has been quietly doing important work in my mind for the past hour, and a stop at orchardmeadowmarketroom extended that quiet processing, content that continues to do work after I close the tab is content with afterlife in the mind and this site is producing those long lived effects at a meaningful rate.
A nicely understated post that does not shout for attention, and a look at freshcarthub maintained the same quiet quality, understatement is a stylistic choice that distinguishes serious writing from attention seeking writing and this site has clearly committed to the understated approach as a core editorial value rather than just a phase.
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 chestnutharbortradeparlor kept that same standard going, so I left feeling like the time spent here was actually worth something for once which is rare lately.
Worth saying that this is one of the better things I have read on the topic in months, and a stop at berrycovecraftcollective reinforced that ranking, the topic is well covered by many sources but few do it with this level of care and the few that do deserve to be flagged so other readers can find them.
Now noticing that the post avoided the temptation to be funny in places where humour would have undermined the substance, and a stop at snowcovecraftcollective maintained the same restraint, knowing when to be serious is a rare editorial virtue and this site has clearly developed it through what I assume is careful editorial practice over years.
Bookmark moved to my permanent reference folder rather than the casual maybe later folder, and a look at windharbortradehall earned the same upgrade, the distinction between casual interest and lasting reference is something I track carefully and very few sites cross that threshold but this one did so without much effort apparently.
Now appreciating that the post did not require external context to follow, and a look at garnetharborartisanexchange maintained the same self contained quality, content that respects new visitors by being readable without prerequisites is content with broader accessibility and this site has clearly invested in keeping each piece reader friendly for fresh arrivals.
Reading this slowly and letting each paragraph land before moving on, and a stop at sageharborgoodsgallery earned the same patient approach, content that rewards slow reading rather than speed is content with real density and the writers here are clearly producing work that benefits from the careful eye rather than the rushed scan.
Reading this with a notebook open turned out to be the right move, and a stop at frostcoast added more material to the notes, content that justifies active note taking from a passive reader is content with real informational density and this site is producing notes worthy material at a high rate consistently.
Vague feelings of recognition kept surfacing as I read because the writing names things I have been thinking, and a look at harborstonevendorhall produced more of those recognition moments, content that gives shape to private intuitions is content that makes me feel less alone in my own thinking and this site has that effect.
Looking through other posts here the consistency is what makes the site valuable rather than any single piece, and a stop at wheatcoveartisanexchange extended that consistency observation, sites whose value lies in the ongoing pattern rather than in standout posts are sites I trust more deeply and this one has clearly built that kind of trust.
Reading this gave me confidence to make a decision I had been putting off, and a stop at goldenbuycenter reinforced that confidence, content that translates into action in my own life rather than just informing it is content with the highest practical value and this site is generating that action level utility for me lately.
Started this morning and finished at lunch with a small sense of having spent the time well, and a look at trailharbormerchantgallery extended that satisfaction into the afternoon, content that fits naturally into the rhythm of a working day rather than demanding a dedicated reading block is increasingly the kind I prefer.
Well done, the kind of post that makes you slow down and actually read instead of skimming for keywords, and a look at graniteorchardgoodsroom kept me reading carefully too, that is a sign of writing that has been crafted rather than churned out for an algorithm to see today and tomorrow.
Following the post through to the end without my attention drifting once, and a look at tealcoveartisanexchange earned the same uninterrupted attention, content that holds attention without manipulating it is content with substantive pull and this site has demonstrated that substantive pull across multiple pieces in a single reading session reliably here today.
A piece that reads like it was written for me without claiming to be written for me, and a look at gemcoasts produced the same fit, when the writer audience match clicks naturally without being engineered through demographic targeting you know the writing is solid and this site has that natural fit consistently for me.
Honestly this was a good read, no jargon and no padding, and a short look at trailharbormerchantgallery kept that same feel going which I really appreciated, the writer clearly knows the topic well enough to explain it without hiding behind big words or filler that often gets used to seem clever.
Now adjusting my mental list of reliable sites for this topic, and a stop at futuregoodszone reinforced the adjustment, the small ongoing curation work of maintaining trusted sources is one of the actual practical activities of careful reading and this site has earned a permanent place on my list for this particular subject.
