Restaurant Dining
While this was cheaper than the one with crab meat, I felt that this did not taste as nice. That being said, the xiao long bao was still amazing and wonderful. The soup in the dumpling had its flavour and eating it with vinegar gave it the extra oomph!
6 for $10. I prefer this over the pork xiao long bao because of the additional crab meat inside. One of the best xiao long baos that I have tasted, it was hot when served and tasted really amazing. Definitely lived up to my expectations!!
$7+. The texture of the noodle was amazing and the consistency and quality of the preparation of their noodles makes it top notch. While I did not feel that there was anything special in the special sauce, it definitely made the noodles more tasty. I would suggest eating the noodles with the chilli, certainly enhanced the flavour!
Very expensive for rather average food. However, certain food like the red bean dessert that they have was good. The fried rice tasted fantastic as well. The shark fin was not good because of the fish roe and the duck tasted terrible. Still a good place for family dinners but I wouldn't recommend it if you are looking for excellent food and service.
Very affordable for a set menu like this for 4 people but I didn't think that the food was particularly excellent. Most of the food were rather basic and there was nothing special, however the dessert was really nice and not too sweet. Wouldn't really go to Crystal Jade unless it's for dim sum though. Special mention to their soup which was very tasty and I'm sure a lot of effort was put into brewing it.
Coming from a famous restaurant, the quality of the shrimp wanton noodles was really disappointing. While the wanton had loads of prawn and pork, the noodles were dry and difficult to eat. The only good thing in the dish was honestly the vegetable. Expected much more from Crystal Jade in terms of cooking a dish that is an integral part of Hong Kong food.
