If you are looking for juicy Xiao long Bao, must go to Crystal jade! My all time favorite! The la main always come in a huge portion, and if you are a small eater, two person can actually share a bowl of la mian.The spicy cucumber did a great start as an appetizer!

The la main always come in a huge portion, and if you are a small eater, two person can actually share a bowl of la mian.
The spicy cucumber did a great start as an appetizer! Cucumber was very crunchy, and the chili oil blend well with it and was really refreshing. I ordered the spicy and sour thick soup la mian. And guess what, the soup was really thick, more like gravy. There were a lot of dried chili flakes in it, but taste was okay, not too spicy. My friend ordered the la mian soup with shrimp wanton! The wanton was big and shrimp were very fresh! And we ordered 2 set of the famous Xiao Long Bao,total 8 pieces! The Xiao long Bao were very juicy, and were bigger in size compare to the one in Ding Tai Fung! Dipping the Xiao Long Bao in the ginger and vinegar was the way to eat it! But beware of your bite while eating Xiao long Bao, as the soup will gush out and might burn your tongue ! Then, we ordered another 8 pieces of pork dumplings with spicy chili sauce. Dumplings skin was just nice, soft and smooth! It was a perfect la mian dinner!

Though it was quite a hurried dinner, the food was served very promptly and having the opportunity to order endlessly whilst cooking your own food with unlimited XLBs was a joy to behold!!Waning! The Spicy soup was really really spicy. Choice of soup was at the beginning and changing soups partway through was not an option. Nevertheless, it was certainly a chance to eat and stuff!!

eating at this place is a luxury.

because queueing is a nightmare.

calling in for reservations should be done a week in advance.

not because it's that hard to get seats.

but because it's that hard to get them to pick up calls.

you can try going in to drop in to make reservations.

i really think that's more efficient if you're asking me.

the hotpot is amazing.

free flow xiao long baos.

i really think i'm happy with just the xlbs.

Crystal jade has always served consistently good food at affordable prices. The noodles are one reason I keep coming back. I had the spicy and sour soup la mian which was quite good. The soup was robust and tasty without being overly spicy. While the noodles were freshly made and cooked to just the right texture. We also enjoyed other sharing dishes such as spring rolls

Hmm. It wasn't as satisfying a crunch I would have liked from the skin.
But the meat was well, all that. PORK yum.

And I loved the side of peanuts.

I remembered the first time I had Xiao Long Bao, it was in this particular Crystal Jade restaurant and till today, the vivid memory of my awkward fumbling of these delicate art pieces still haunts me. Due to my virgin experience and ignorance, I didn't knew the existence of a small pouch of soup wrapped beneath the thin, delicate dumpling skin. At that time, I sucked at using chopsticks and the way I picked things up - it's to poke them. Things happened and my lovely Xiao Long Bao was ruined.Rec

I remembered the first time I had Xiao Long Bao, it was in this particular Crystal Jade restaurant and till today, the vivid memory of my awkward fumbling of these delicate art pieces still haunts me. Due to my virgin experience and ignorance, I didn't knew the existence of a small pouch of soup wrapped beneath the thin, delicate dumpling skin. At that time, I sucked at using chopsticks and the way I picked things up - it's to poke them. Things happened and my lovely Xiao Long Bao was ruined.

Recently, dear Peiyi and I had the chance to visit this famous Shanghai-nese restaurant during the weekdays. And oh my, customers were already queueing up, but again, lucky us for we were seated within 15 minutes. Those with bigger groups had to wait up to almost an hour (and again I stressed - it was a weekday!)

Xiao Long Bao (S$4.80 for 4) was glorious. The dumpling skin was just right and the broth complemented the juicy minced pork meat. Mother Kook called me stupid for not eating it with vinegar (which I don't, I detest the smell), but let me tell you that this beauties go well without vinegar and shredded ginger too. Just do not make the same mistake as me.

Pan Fried Pork Bun (S$4.00 for 3) does not lose out. Sink your teeth into these soft fragrant bun and savour the succulent fillings. I thought this yummy buns look like the classic Meat Pao, but just pan fried and upgraded like four levels up.

Salted Nanjing Duck (S$8.50) was a tad hard for my liking. Nevertheless, these beautiful duck slices were luscious with a thin layer of fat. Just look at the soft pinkish-red meat! However, I always preferred eating duck drenched in Chinese braised sauce, so this does not appeal to me much.

Lastly, we had Crystal Jade speciality La Mian with Braised Beef (S$8.50). The beef was so tender and juicy, especially the tendons, which I totally love them. (while girlfriend finds them fross. Weird.) Their speciality noodles were definitely one of the best in Singapore, with the spot-on chewiness. But what I wanted to praise most is what holds this entire dish together - the broth. Thick brown soup made of long-simmered ingredients, it brings forth a subtle sweet and herbal aroma that makes you want to devour this dish.

Besides ala-carte, Crystal Jade (Holland Village) also presents a South-Northern buffet experience which includes steamboat and a huge variety of appetizers, meat, drinks and dim-sum. The best part is that you get all the Xiao Long Bao you can eat!

A very useful tip - do your reservations! Walking in for the buffet guarantees near 0% you can get a table at dinner hours.

The overall dining experience is ok; no wow factor. The ingredients are fresh and up to quality; well they have to be of quality at the slightly hefty price charged. The place is quite small and some seats are already torn – replacement of seats is in urgent need. The meat are generally tender and well-marinated ~ pork belly is the best among all ... Kimchi soup is ok too ~ I have tasted better ones elsewhere ~

This version of fried rice from Crystal jade is really colourful and filled with lots of delicious ingredients in it. The ham meat and chicken meat are very fresh and chewy. The mini shrimps inside are also very crunchy and sweet in flavour. Added beaten eggs have also added that extra fragrant to the fried rice too. The rice is also not too salty and with the right amount of seasoning in it. Simply delicious!

Crystal Jade restaurant at Holland Village serves up very nice Chinese food. Mrupupup had congee (porridge), soya sauce chicken and water cress with pork ribs soup (attached picture). The Crystal Jade porridge is one of the best Mrupupup had tried and just enjoy the smooth texture of the porridge. The chicken was nicely roasted and delicious.

So we grabbed a lot of dishes (the way you order is to tick off a menu and pass off to the waiters/waitresses). We get the very ShangHai/China feel because the crew are mainly from mainland or city China, so you can expect some fiercer tone when they're speaking to you loudly. Anyway, what can we say about buffet? JUST TAKE AND TRY EVERYTHING!!!

But if you are a small eater (thankfully I don't think I am), then go for the best food to fill your stomach. And that's right! XIao Long Bao is definitely the only thing you should fill your tummy with since it cost about $10.80 in other restaurants for 10 xiao long bao. Eat unlimitedly please. Oh don't be so crazy to order 10 cages (shi long in chinese), you'd be sick of it and surely will never touch xiao long bao again. Order the la mian off the buffet menu, that is really good!

They really are up to their standard and reputation, this delicate work of making the icy soup stay within the xiao long bao and the very thin pieces of skin clasped together makes your mouth simply.. remember the taste forever.

If you ask me if they need any further improvements, I'd say about the drinks. Honestly I think it'd be better to have more variety of tea, Chinese tea or green tea rather than soft drinks. In fact they could even strip off all the soft drinks the menu! And also to add some fragrance in the restaurant since it's super squeezy on the second level.. and also very difficult to walk when you are in a big group with friends.


All in all, there is sooo much more dishes that you can try here but it also depends on your cooking skills. If you talk too much to your friends, the marinate on the meat will surely drain away into the soup, so if you are confident in your 'steamboat' buffet skills, GO for it!

Went to eat the famous crystal jade free flow xiao long bao yesterday with colleagues. Food was good as it's a steamboat dinner with quite a number of varieties to order. But it seem that the standard of the xiao long bao has dropped as when we try to pick up the xiao long bao all the soup was dripping and it seem that it did not fold properly. But nevertheless it was kinda nice to eat over there with your friends and colleagues.

(: as you can see from the photos on my blog, besides an unlimited supply of xiao long baos....

...a complimentary serving of 100g of tiger prawns per guest...

...a whole lot of MEAT! beautiful thin slices pork and beef, which cooked really fast and were wonderfully fresh and yummy. they were full of fats though, but that was what made them so yummy i guess?

other stuff we had were a whole lot of mushrooms, different kinds of balls (like fishballs and salmon balls - loved the salmon balls!), dumplings (the guo tie kind), and just lots and lots of meat xD i really loved it! apparently the chicken is not so good though. so we didn't order it. there are also the intestines and pig skin kind of stuff which we didn't really order. we also tried a couple of the appetizers - the cucumber with garlic tasted like something you would have with chicken rice, and we also had the preserved egg with japanese tofu which i thought was not bad!
