About Dak Mai Rice Roll

Dak Mai Rice Roll, located in Crystal Mall's busy food court, serves freshly made to order rice rolls. The rice rolls are pretty soft and slippery, very thin in a good way, and come with a variety of flavours like beef. There is quite a bit of filling. Some find them above average and delicious, while others feel the texture isn't as smooth and silky as hoped. The sauce is quite limited, available self-serve with options like sesame, chili, and bean paste, which some feel makes the overall flavor a bit bland.

The Chinese donut isn't the traditional Cantonese style; it's more like a piece of fried bread, a bit more doughy than some would like. The youtiao and century egg congee are decent but fairly average. However, the egg and minced beef congee is a highlight—smooth, tasty, and well-balanced in flavor. The soy milk is aptly sweetened, best served cold. Prices are quite reasonable, making it a decent spot for a comforting bowl. Service is friendly, though the food court and parking lot are often overpacked.
