Treasure Pot in Hakka Style Smile Mar 13, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Cantonese/Hong Kong | Restaurant | Dim Sum

Crystal Jade at Toa Payoh is now offering a range of Hong Kong street food on a separate menu, some of which look really yummy. I had the Hong Kong milk tea ($3.90), and they actually use a glass flask and shot glasses to serve it, how cool is that! Silky milky taste, i like it heaps.

 
The two of us ordered the Treasure Pot in Hakka Style ($38.80), which is supposed to serve up to 4 persons. The staff advised us not to order anymore dishes if we going for the treasure pot, and we were glad that we took the suggestion! The treasure pot contains lots of ingredients such as Chicken, duck, prawn, sea cucumber, pork belly, gluten, pig's skin, radish, fresh mushroom, duck web, deep-fried fish balls, yam ... and feeds the two of us just nicely. the gravy is flavourful and very nice to go with white rice.

Love the muffin! OK Mar 13, 2013

This is probably my first Kenny Roger in many many years! I'm quite surprise that they serve the complimentary squarish muffin to every diner. The muffin looks good, and it tastes very good indeed! It has a crispy texture on the outside, and fluffy moist inside. You can taste a hint of corn flavour with some corn kennel bits in the muffin too. Lovely! If you wish to have more of the muffin, simply order it from the menu.

 
I had the Chicken pot pie ($15.90), and shockingly realized how huge it is! It's loaded with chunks of roasted chicken and fresh vegetales in a creamy sauce, served in a bread bowl. It tastes Ok, but I reckon it's slightly over starchy, and I couldn't finish the bread.

 
With the order of the chicken pot pie, I get to choose two side dishes. One of which I chose the potato salad. It was kind of an disappointment as it didn't come with ingredients like egg slices and crispy bacon as normal potata salad would have.

It's my first visit to this Crystal Jade outlet, which hidden in the far end corner at the basement level. I ordered the Steamed soup xiao long bao (4 pieces for the price $5.20), and totally in love with the juiciness of the filling. Upon bursting the bun, the soup just oveflown and can't even hold by the soup spoon. Taste wise, very rich flavour. yummy.

 
Noodles in Sichuan style with pork and wanton ($10.80) is not a bad choice, but could be too thick and filling when you finish the whole bowl. The broth is rich in peanut taste, slightly spicy, yet I reckon it could have more minced meat to enhance the sweetness of it.

Laksa Smile Mar 13, 2013

Flavours is the only air-con canteen in Temasek Poly, hence the food here are selling at slightly higher price than the other canteen. Yong Tau Fu is one of the stall that always has constant long queue. One would need to pick a minimum of 6 pieces that costs $2.20. Noodles are sold at an additional cost of $0.50, laksa gravy costs an additional $0.50 as well. I have tried their laksa, and quite like the thickness of it. The aroma of spices is quite well-executed too. It's a good choice for sure.

Hearty meal Smile Jan 31, 2013

Old Hong Kong Legend is one of my favourite restaurant for dim sum! Their food are delicious, definitely well-presented and looks very appetizing. We started of with a bowl of Double-boiled shark's bone cartilage soup ($18 per person). The soup is very rich in collagen, the flavour is so good that I'm totally in love with it. It's served in whole 'shark's fin' melon that gives extra sweetness to the soup. One could also taste the yellow fungus and wolfberry in the soup. Overall speaking, two thumbs up!

 
Beancurd skin (2pcs) ($4.50) dim sum is always my favourite. This one here wrapped a handful of filling including steamed chicken, fish maw and mushrooms. Very well-seasoned and one would love how the ingredients come together so harmonily!

 

Seafood dumplings (2 pcs) ($6.80) is quite like Siu Mai, except for the fact that it has a big fresh prawn as well as fish roe on top. Very crunchy texture, nice.

 
Deep-fried dace fish valls (3 pcs) ($5.50) is something new to me. The taste is easily accepted, in fact, one will love it straightaway even if he/she not a big fans of fish. Because this is deep-fried, it doesn't have the fishy taste, but aromatic delicious. The chives did add on extra fragrant to it.

 
Steamed crystal dumplings with potherb mustard ($4.50) is probably my least favourite, not something I tried before. The filling tastes a bit like preserved vegetables.

 
Pan-fried flour rolls with X.O. chilli sauce ($5.50) is different from the steamed rice rolls that most restaurant serves. The rice rolls are first pan-fried to crisp, and then topped with the homemade XO chilli sauce. The fragrant of shrimp is strong and yummy.

 
Seared cod fish on egg white with trufle sauce ($14.80 per person) has won the best of the culinary awards for the restaurant, and of course it's highly recommended. The cod fish is so well-marinated, cooked at the perfect timing, maintaining the juiciness and fats in the flesh! The bottom layer is the egg white with trufle sauce. The rich flavours just burst in your mouth, delighting the palate pleasantly! It's a must try for sure!

 
Aloe vera with refreshing calamansi juice ($6.80) is a perfect dessert to end the meal. The sourness of the calamansi juice is very refreshing, and the aloe vera just gives it an extra chewy texture. Great combination!
