Lunch at Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao! We went there for the obvious reason - XIAO LONG BAO But besides XLB we needed some other dishes which are Zha Jiang Mian, har gao and scallion pancake.XLB ($4.80) : Well, flavorsome broth, tender and moist meat. They were yummy, though I hoped that the skin should be thinner.Zha Jiang Mian($11.50): The noodles were springy and the sauces and the meat was full of flavor, a bit salty though. But overall is a bowl of zha jiang mian, I couldn't expect it
We went there for the obvious reason - XIAO LONG BAO But besides XLB we needed some other dishes which are Zha Jiang Mian, har gao and scallion pancake.
XLB ($4.80) : Well, flavorsome broth, tender and moist meat. They were yummy, though I hoped that the skin should be thinner.
Zha Jiang Mian($11.50): The noodles were springy and the sauces and the meat was full of flavor, a bit salty though. But overall is a bowl of zha jiang mian, I couldn't expect it to be bland and tasteless. Another point was that the serving was quite huge, even though my friend and I were sharing 1 bowl we couldn't finish it. Value for money I say, without the other side dishes.
Har gor($4.50): My friend made a statement "all har gao are yummy" YES. I totally agree with her, I love the idea of fresh prawn wrapped inside a skin. When I bit into it, all I could taste was the succulent and springy prawn, freshness of the prawn. DELICIOUS
Scallion pancake($3.50): I have no idea why we would order this I guess we were too hungry and can't wait to eat. The scallion pancake tasted like roti prata but of course we smell of scallions. It was average. No raves about it.
