The Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao @ Jurong Point has relocated to a new location.
It's now located at the newly renovated Hong Kong street with lots of new food stalls liks Hot Star, 7" Pizza and many more! For those who are more familar with Jurong Point, it's near the 24 hours NTUC Xtra .
I'm pretty much excited about the new stores opening because I can finally try something new :)
Anyway, back to Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao, their business have been blooming since they relocate. I thought I'm the only 贪吃猫 (Greedy cat) around because I'm drooling whenever I walk pass, the aroma from the restaurant can be smell even 50 metres away. When Derp pass by to get his dinner the other day, he told me he's tempted too lol!
And so, we make time to go there for dinner on one of the Friday date nights :):) There was still a long queue even though it was 8++pm when we started joining the queue. It has already opened for a week plus and the queue is still so long! Seems like they have been neglected all this time while they were being hidden in a small corner.
Hereby presenting to you, the newly renovated Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao @ Jurong Point.
It's a open concept restaurant. In the past, they were hidden in a dark corner and no one can see what's happening inside lol.
They even have a 'fish tank' to show how xiao long baos is being made. I think that sort of serves as a plus point for them because everyone tend to kpo what's going on in there.
I went upfront to take a look while waiting for my queue number to be called.
We usually ordered the 'usuals' hence we didn't take long to decide. We did flipped around their menu to see if there's any changes and I found out that they have so many types of noodles for you to choose from.
That's like 8 different types of noodles! O.O, there's even a 'triangle' la mian. Won't it be difficult to kiap? haha!
We settled on 'flat face' la mian because it somewhat looks like ang moh pasta linguine noodles. Btw, that's our favourite noodles.
When asked by the waiter do we want our noodles to be cut, Derp immediately say 'no'. We sort of regretted it after that because it's really not easy to eat especially when the noodles kept slipping out of your chopsticks easily.
I ordered the 'zha jiang mian'.
My 'flat' noodles zha jiang mian!
What's the point of going to Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao without ordering their signature xiao long bao? :)
Derp ordered their sour and spicy la mian. His 'usual' main at Crystal Jade :)
I saw the couple next to us ordering their spicy chicken la mian which looks really good! I shall try it the next time round :)
Our meal costs us a total of $30 after gst. Really very worth it!

On 10 Jun 2015, I brought my son and mother to Jade Restaurant. We ordered a few dishes and my son had the beef brisket soup noodle. However, to our disappointment, the amount of noodle was cut down by more than half the portion we used to have in the past. We are regulars here. Its so little and pathetic. My son did not have enough. We wont come back again.
