Visit to Crystal Jade Xiao Long Bao Outlet

These photos are taken a very long time back. Some of the dishes shown below seems to have been modified by the restaurant recently.

Anyway the below dishes are some of my favourites when I last visited the restaurant.

The first dish shown below is the fried eel.
It is fried to a crisp and it is coated with a sweet sauce. The combination of the sweet sauce and the crisp texture is a wonderful combination. Usually I will order this dish if I visit the outlet.


The next dish is the jelly fish appetizer. Unlike majority of places where usually the jelly fish is prepared in a sweet sauce, the preparation for this dish is to tossed in the jelly fish in a slightly salty sauce. It is quite nice.

The next dish is the sliced fish cooked with black fungus and spring onion. The fish meat is very tender and has a melt in your mouth sensation. The sauce is also very good to go with rice.

However in my recent visit, I do not seem to be able to find this dish in the menu. Maybe they change the name of the dish.

The next dish is a Sichuan dish. It is called 回鍋肉 in mandarin. In English, it can be termed as a twice cooked pork dish. This is because the pork will be cooked firsly by boiling and after which it will then be cut and stirred fried with some vege as shown below.

They also served some pancake to go with the dish. However personally prefer the dish to go with steaming hot white rice.

The last dish is also another Sichuan dish. It is Ma Po Tofu. It is tofu which is cooked in a spicy gravy with mince pork in it. The version offered here is not so authentic as it is supposed to have a numbing effect when you consumed it but i do not felt it :(.

However it is a great dish to go with rice. The silky texture of the tofu with the rich flavor of the gravy with the mince pork in it is really wonderful.

As can be seen, I am a rice lover hence the dishes I recommended are best to go with rice.
