My third time visiting Eric's Deli. Yar, you got it right, the infamous restaurant run by the popular Hong Kong celebrity, Mr Eric. Despite all the bad reviews and comments bout his food, I still love to frequent this place just for the desserts.
Mr. Eric and his frensFYI, this restaurant has a separate dessert bar which prepares quite an extensive range of hot 'tongsui', puddings and icy cold shaved ice. I tried their Mango sai mai loh (Mango shaved ice) which was really good! I think they first iced the mango juice, which is then finely shaved and serve with sago and mango chunks. Absolutely my fave refreshing dessert!
This time round I tried their Mix Fruit shaved ice (around RM5-6) which came with loads of mango chunks, honeydew, watermelon and papaya pieces, the ice were thinly shaved with intense milky flavour...yummy!
Char siew bao tried their Mango Pomelo dessert (around Rm5) which looked abit sad. It came with mango juice (?), sago and pomelo. We should just stick to their shaved ice desserts on our next visit.
Felt abit gluttony though we just had our dinner so we ordered the onion pancake (RM8) recommended by the funny Hongkie waitress. The verdit: Totally not worth the price. They only served us 2 little palm size pancakes. Crispy but too greasy to my liking.

Just wondering if anyone of you have tried Eric's hot food? Any good recommendations?Location: Ground Floor, Hartamas Shopping Centre.

Their dim sums are not bad, although a tad too pricey for me. But you MUST try their Steamed Pork Ribs. I luv it very very much! ;-)
Been hearing about it but have no idea where it is
Yeah, their dim sum is nice but only available during lunchtime. Heard that they have steamboat or hotpot at night.
tankiasu: Ok noted! I wanted to try their dimsums too that nite not knowing that they only serve dimsums till 5pm. I tot u like chicken only?
jason: hmm...hartamas area might sound abit alien to you? there are alot of good eateries though abit far from cheras. Nvrmind, can always go for food hunt during weekends mar.
boo_licious: Yup, read from their menu that a seafood hotpot for 2 person is priced at RM75...@_@ so expensive. But i noticed that most of the patrons ordered hotpot for dinner.
Found their food okay only....went once and never got round to going back again...that was 2 years ago.
xiu long bao,
Maciam not very appealing leh the food. Hmm...
wmw:hmm...the hot food that i had before were so-so only. But boo and tankiasu luv their dimsums so i guess it is triable.
kok:U mean the onion pancake ah? yalor, got deceived by the nice pix in the menu. But the shaved ice desserts are good!
Haha... I don't even know where's hartamas :P Bangsar area? I wan the Alberto's gelatos!
the dim sum is decent when they 1st opened..but ever since i went twice and was quite disappointed..dinnerwise i heard the lai mien is not bad..but other then that they are just riding onto mr eric name to make a quick buck..
Oh i saw b4 someone review about the pomelo mango...Lazy Chef...she say good wor...
still i like my childhood fav, mut kua sai mai lo (honeydew) : )
jason:10 mins from bangsar. Sad to tell u dat Alberto just closed down *ooohoooo...* Biz not sustainable. haiz, no more yummy gelatos oledi :(
joe:huh? dat bad? I can tell that their biz is not 'really' good. maybe becus of the location too. Imagine if it opens in 1 U or ss2..whoaa...

Mango Dessert post

Hmm...I guess must make a trip there for dimsum during lunch time. If not mistaken, their hotpot is szechuan type.
jian:
huh? i followed cook book one leh. Cook sago and santan first, and then add in honeydew chunks. Yummy! Ur honeydew lou version also sounds interesting, never heard of this before...haha
OMG, ur doc sure faint when u go for medical checkup...LoL at all the high cholestrol food.
precious pea:
We also wan to go! Can tag along?
You can choose to have 2 soups in one pot, herbal and spicy szechuan.Heard dat it is not bad.
Wow, based on the comments, I just might go for the shaved ice desserts and not the main courses...
Sometimes it's good to find out what's good in a place which may have a bad reputation overall but have a couple of gems here and there...
haha my version honeydew lou is much easier and less fattening : P lolz...so far haven't been for a medical check up. Got also is last years story ady....hahaha...i tot got other place selling shaved ice desserts...like the one near times square wan...every nite pack with ppl.
kenny mah: Hope you luv the desserts! Gonna revisit for the shaved ice too...slurrrppp!
jian:There are alot of good places that sell finely shaved ice desserts in KL and PJ. wat is the name of the shop in times sqaure? sounds interesting!
Its not exactly in time square. I had to walk down from Times Square to a row of shop houses (about 5 minutes walk). Its at the corner wan. lolz sorry lar kenot remember the name.
hahaha but still i still like classic ais kacang and PG chendol. Unbeatable in taste,price and heritage. lolz....
Eric should reseach more before open this business. He named it Deli and this place is no a Deli. Deli is cooked food that is low cost and serve over the counter for to eat in or takeaway. Price is too high also and workers is so untrain.
Return business is not to be.
i have been visit there quite a few times.. like to hang around there with my family n friends on weekdays.. recently there have promote new dim sum n steamboat menu.. price reasonable n have new items.. u should try the "lou sha pao" very nice! n my mum very like it!
