As my friend is thinking of having Chinese for dinner, we decide on Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao for dinner before going for movie. As it is a weekday night, there is no much crowd in the restaurant. The restaurant is simply decorated with the tables quite near to each other. The booth seat is a bit worn out and I feel as if I am been sunk in. Of the 3 dishes which we have ordered, the Pork Dumpling with Spicy Chilli Sauce ($7.50++) is served first as the server remarks that it is dim sum dish so it will be faster. Not as spicy as expected and tastes quite juicy.Spinach sautéed with Minced Garlic ($11.80++)This is a quite well cooked dish.We ask again and again about our order. But it is when we have finished the 2 dishes, the Fried Rice with Prawn, Chicken & Ham ($12.80++) is finally served to us. The fried rice is a bit to dry and oily, as well as, lacking of wok hei. And it seem that we are not the only table with this problem. The table next to us, also have waited quite long for their last dish which is the pork trotter. It is served quite sometimes after they have finished everything. Look like they have to do something about timing in the kitchen.

Xiao long bao is one of the dishes I will order when I visit Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao. However I am not sure if I will continue to so so after this time. The standard used to be quite high and I enjoy myself a lot with the Xiao Long Bao but now I feel that the standard fell by quite a fair bit. The fillings inside are dry and what used to be dripping hot "soup" in the Xiao Long Bao has been replaced but a few drops of oil. The skin is not as thin as before and the meat is mushy and tasted stale. A very disappointing meal I must say.

I always patronize crystal jade for their consistently good la mian. I especially like their zha jiang mian and find it one of the best around. The noodles are really delicious and are the perfect texture without being neither too soft nor too hard. The sauce is really tasty too coming with a pretty generous amount of tofu and pork meat in it. Eat it while its hot!

Met my friends for a short gathering and we had ordered some food to share.. and I got myself the fried rice. The rice was served in a mini wok which made it really appealing but the taste was really quite normal. Something which I had eaten at any Cze char but tagged with a higher price.I prefer those fried rice which every grain of rice is coated with the egg. And I think it requires good skill but I failed to get it in this kitchen as of now.
