It's been a while since our last visit to Crystal Jade and we were pleasantly surprised that their quality of food had improved significantly. We had their set dinner promotion at $38 nett which included 1 La mien, 1 basket of their new Multi-flavoured Xiao Long Bao (4 pcs), 1 appetizer and 1 side dish.Braised Beef La Mien (supplement of $5++)The Braised Beef La Mien was rich and tasty!

The Braised Beef La Mien was rich and tasty! The beef cubes were tender and flavourful while the noodles were springy and mouth-watering. Although we had to top up a supplement of $5++ as we didn't really fancy the options included in the set menu, it was money well spent!
Multi-flavoured Xiao Long BaoHaha, we knew Crystal Jade would definitely come up with their rendition of flavoured XLB and we must say theirs will indeed give Paradise Dynasty a run for their money! We love how succulent yet refined their XLBs are! The 4 flavours – Black Truffle, Spicy Chicken, Original and Vegetable were unique and flavorsome. We were glad Crystal Jade had maintained the quality of their signature "ultra-thin-yet-highly-resistant-skin" that never fails to protect the generous juicy fillings, well done!
Egg white with crab meat
A classic evergreen dish that can hardly go wrong. We love how the beautiful colours contrast with each other (visually appealing dishes = half the taste buds battle won) and how the textures complement each other.
Braised Duck SlicesThe Braised Duck Slices paled in comparison with the other dishes in terms of the quality and taste – we found it a little blend and a tad too oily. Thankfully the meat was relatively tender and easy on the palate though!
Ha Kau ($4.50++)Nice, juicy and fat Ha Kaus to satisfy our Dim Sum craving! As with their XLB, we were amazed how Crystal Jade managed to encapsulate the generous fillings using such thin opalescent wraps!
Siew Mai ($4.30++)Savoury, luscious and tempting Siew Mais to wrap up our delectable Cantonese dining affair that rekindled our flames for Crystal Jade!
