Best Thai Pineapple Fried Rice Ever - only at Yishensu, 1Utama
As you may or may not know, One Utama's old wing is nearing the end of its facelift and is expected to reopen to shoppers soon, with some shops already upgraded and resumed operations. I do not know the exact reopening date, but if you are thinking to visit and get a sneak preview of what's coming but is having trouble finding the motivation to do so, worry not, as here's a good reason for you to visit this very weekend!
Yishensu, the vegetarian connoisseur, serves the BEST pineapple fried rice in town. Do opt for the "special" as you get extra toppings like macadamias, cashews, raisins, mock fish flakes from the ordinary version. It has a "curry" and tangy kick to it, making it a very appetising meal indeed.
Emperor Tofu (RM 16)
I liked the presentation of this dish and it was a perfect dish to go with steaming hot white rice
Fried Oat Prawn (RM 18)
I loved the generous serving of crunchy oats that coated the spongy mock prawn. I don't really fancy mock prawns a lot, and would actually prefer if they used something else instead, like something tofu based.
Then there is the not-so-special Char Kway Teow. I have to admit, nothing beats the Char Kway Teow served at Blue Boy Mansion. Read it here Blue Boy Mansion

One Utama is the only shopping mall with 2 dedicated vegetarian restaurants and I really hope they stay open!
However, we consumers are often spoilt for choice and this time we decided to re patronize New York New York Deli over at the new wing after we were being brushed off at Yishensu and were we happy that we changed our venue to this place?Most definitely as the service is so much better.
Actually our first stop was actually to Yishensu, but the waiter was so rude and unattentive, so we decided to take the business somewhere else and that was why we ended up in New York New York. At Yishensu, what happened was that we had politely asked about the lunch set and whether it was available on weekends. The waiter scowled at us, dumped the menu on our table and stormed off to another table. This is not the first time we have received bad service from this restaurant and I hope they can improve on that.

Portion is not something that this restaurant should boast about as what you get is not really worth your money, oh well, beggars can't be choosers! How I wish Malaysia would have as many vegetarian restaurants as Hong Kong and Singapore, so the veggie restaurants would not monopolize the market! Anyway, we do dine here once in awhile, not because it's delicious, but because it's one of the two vegetarian restaurant available at 1U.
This is not free soup, unlike Kuan Yin Chai. Nice, but quite oily though.
Char Kway Teow it came chunky. i wouldn't recommend it.
Very common dish, nothing special.
What a bland visit to YiShenSu. We actually ordered another dish, the kung po pork, but it came so late that we decided to cancel it. So yea, slow service, so-so tasting food, won't be returning to this restaurant anytime soon!

Lunch time set meal at RM 21.60 comes with a bowl of soup of the day with a main dish plus also drink of your choice which is either a green tea or a soya drink. Food is delicious and portion is just enough for lunch.

Was wondering around 1Utama about lunch time and had wanted to go for 'Lui Cha" at Arena Food Court near Jaya Jusco. Was so disappointed to find out that it has already closed down due to very poor response. So headed to Yishensu instead as they have interesting set lunch menu. I chose the curry rendang rice set today which comes with the soup of the day - Fun Kot boiled with gei ji and vege meat and a glass of soya milk drink. It was very satisfying and I was really full as there was so much to eat and drink. The taste was very good as well and the soup was sweet and tasty. The set came to RM 11.90

Hopefully, through this site, the lives of some animals can be spared. Always remember, animals have feelings too, they are our friends not our meal.
