Oriental Star EkoCheras Review: RM9.90 Dim Sum Promotion

Oriental Star EkoCheras Mall Review: Affordable Dim Sum at RM9.90 Each

Looking for an affordable dim sum meal in Kuala Lumpur without spending too much? I recently visited Oriental Star at EkoCheras Mall to check out its dim sum promotion, which offers selected delicacies for dine-in customers at RM9.90 each.

What caught my attention was the chance to enjoy a selection of dim sum at a price point that suits diners looking for a more affordable Chinese dining experience. The promotion features a variety of items, including steamed dumplings, crispy prawn rolls, sweet corn cakes and a refreshing aloe vera dessert.

Oriental Star is part of the Oriental Group of Restaurants, which specialises in Cantonese cuisine, Hong Kong-style dim sum and roasted dishes. Its EkoCheras Mall outlet is located on the second floor, making it a convenient option for shoppers and residents around Cheras.

For me, the main attraction of this promotion is its straightforward value proposition: the food is delicious, and the experience matches the price. Rather than expecting an extravagant dining experience at every turn, diners can approach this promotion as an opportunity to enjoy selected dim sum delicacies at a reasonable price.
