We went on the opening day, and waited for close to 3 hours! Crazy.. but we had nothing much to do so we waited while we shopped. If you are pushing for time, don't bother to wait, just go Crystal Jade.. . why do I say that? Read on.. In all, we tried: Char Siew Bao, steamed pork ribs, carrot cake, pork liver cheong fun, shrimp cheong fun, crab meat spring rolls, mushroom chicken and sausage chicken rice and dessert Guai hua gao (Osmanthus cake). Only the Char Siew Bao and carrot cake were worth

Only the Char Siew Bao and carrot cake were worth the wait, the others you can forget it.. not worth it at all. . :

Char Siew Bao - Soft pastry with juicy, BBQ pork that melts in your mouth. Have not tasted such nice Char Siew Bao before really.
Carrot cakes - melts in your mouth, definitely worth a try
Pork liver cheong fun -- weird taste combination .. can't taste that it's pork liver
Shrimp cheong fun -- flour skinning was too, too thick
Crab meat spring rolls - can't tasted the crab meat inside, although overall it was ok, hot and nice.
Mushroom and sausage chicken rice - this was the worst of the lot, we wait like one hour from the time we sat down, and the result was so disappointing. The rice has no taste, the mushroom and sausages does not taste like mushrooms / sausages.
Pork ribs - so, so only. have tasted better ones in Singapore.
Dessert Osmanthus cake - didn't disappoint, didn't excite.

Won't be going back again unless there is no choice.
