* 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.

Got pulled in by the headline and stayed because the content actually delivered on the promise, and a stop at woodharborcommercegallery kept that trust intact, when a site lives up to its own framing it earns the right to keep showing up in my browser tabs going forward indefinitely from here on out really.
Now adjusting my expectations upward for the topic based on this post, and a stop at globalgoodsarena continued that bar raising effect, content that resets what I think is possible on a subject is doing real work in shaping my standards and this site is providing those bar raising experiences at a notable rate during sessions.
Worth recognising that the post handled a familiar topic without reaching for any of the obvious hot takes, and a stop at walnutcoveartisanexchange continued that fresh treatment, sites that find new angles on subjects others have exhausted are sites worth following carefully and this one has clearly developed that exploratory instinct through patient practice.
Now feeling the post has earned a proper recommendation rather than a casual mention, and a stop at jewelbrooktradehall reinforced the recommendation strength, the difference between mentioning and recommending is a small editorial distinction I observe in my own conversations and this site has earned the upgraded recommendation level from me confidently today.
Liked that the post landed without needing to manufacture controversy or take a contrarian stance for attention, and a stop at canyonharborartisanexchange continued that grounded approach, content that earns attention through quality rather than provocation is the kind that builds long term trust rather than burning it on quick wins.
A piece that read as if the writer was thinking carefully rather than just typing fluently, and a look at goodscarthub continued that considered quality, the difference between fluent typing and careful thinking shows up in writing and this site reads as the product of thought rather than just the product of language fluency apparently.
Strong recommendation from me, anyone curious about the topic should make time for this, and a look at cloudcovegoodsgallery only sharpens that recommendation further, the kind of resource that holds up against careful scrutiny rather than crumbling at the first critical question is rare and worth pointing other people toward when the topic comes up.
Thanks for the honest framing without exaggerated claims that the topic will change my life, and a stop at galafactor kept the same modest tone, restraint in marketing language signals trustworthiness and the writers here are clearly playing the long game by building credibility rather than chasing immediate clicks through hyperbole.
Decided not to comment because the post said what needed saying, and a stop at goldmanors continued that complete feel, content that does not invite obvious additions or corrections from readers is content that has been carefully considered and this site appears to consistently produce pieces that satisfy rather than provoke unnecessary follow ups.
A memorable post for me on a topic I had thought I was tired of, and a look at pineharbortradehall suggested the same site can refresh other tired topics, sites that can revive my interest in subjects I had written off as exhausted are doing rare work and this one is clearly doing that for me today.
Now leaving a small mental note to recommend this when the topic comes up in conversation, and a look at auroracovegoodsroom extended that recommend ready feeling, content that arms me with shareable references for likely future conversations is content with social value and this site is providing that conversational ammunition consistently for me lately.
A well calibrated piece that knew its scope and stayed inside it, and a look at lemonlarkvendorparlor maintained the same scope discipline, scope creep is one of the failure modes of long blog posts and this site has clearly invested in the editorial discipline to prevent it which shows up in tightly contained pieces.
Solid little post, the kind that does not need to be flashy because the substance is doing the work, and a look at birchharborvendorroom 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.
Came away with some new perspectives I had not considered before, and after suncoveartisanexchange those ideas felt more complete, the kind of content that stays with you a little while after reading rather than slipping out the moment you switch tabs and move on with your day to whatever comes next.
Reading this confirmed a small detail I had been uncertain about, and a stop at canyoncovecommerceatelier provided the source for further checking, content that supports verification through citations or links rather than just asserting facts is more trustworthy and this site has clearly built its credibility through that kind of verifiable approach consistently.
Honestly impressed, did not expect to find this level of care on the topic, and a stop at skyharborcommercegallery cemented the impression, you can tell within the first few paragraphs whether a site is going to be worth the time and this one delivered on that early promise nicely throughout the rest of what I read.
Now feeling slightly more optimistic about the state of independent writing online, and a stop at dunecovevendoratelier extended that quiet optimism, sites like this one are the reason I have not given up on the open web entirely and finding them occasionally renews the case for paying attention to non algorithmic content sources today.
