Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao (Ngee Ann City)

We were craving for the usual seafood xo sauce one but seems like they changed their menu to this. Rice was fragrant and did not get stuck to each other. Generous amount of egg that almost went with each grain of fried rice!

If you have teochew tastebuds you will like this Cos the preserved vege taste is strong (and the serving inside is pretty generous too)! The peppercorn isn’t over empowering but provides a kick without the soup actually being soaked in chilli oil, quite a good change to the usual meeting of peppercorns in only Mala soup.

Generous serving of sliced pork that was tender. soup was quite addictive!

Sweet, savoury and spicy at the same time, this carrot cake with XO sauce was pretty bombz 💯 craving for dimsum at this hour, ahhh damn this late night hunger pangs ⁣⁣

And now i can have my 4 favourite Xiaolongbaos (Original, Salted Egg, Chilli crab & Truffle) in a single serving!!! Well, if their redbean pancake is your favourite dessert, then you also gotta try their redbean banana pancake!

Last 2 days of 1-for-1 PROMO on selected signatures at all @crystaljadesg La Mian XLB outlets (except Changi Airport T1) during lunchtime till 3pm! (LO. 2.30pm). Only applicable for dine-in today and tomorrow. Now you know where to lunch!

Perhaps the more interesting new item in the menu has got to be the Signature Assorted Xiao Long Bao ($9.30) which has been given a modern interpretation by having unique flavours such as Salted Egg, Chilli Crab and Truffle, besides the Original.

The other new dishes in this new extensive selection include the Wuxi deep-fried white bait in a sweet tangy sauce ($8.80), braised eggplant in a special sauce that’s very “mala-ish” due to the Szechuan pepper ($8.30) and a sautéed colourful vegetable assortment dish ($15.80) that has black fungus, honey beans, cashew nuts, celery and ginkgo nuts; and this particular dish is very similar to your yam ring minus the yam. For a much filling main, you can get the fried mixed white and brown grain rice in claypot ($14.80) before finishing with a pan-fried red bean banana pancake ($6.80)

They had the usual fish roe version but I opted for this. Very delicious indeed. The truffle taste was distinct but not overwhelming. Prawns n meat were fresh. Very impressed. Plus the 30% weekday 3-5pm discount, this was awesome.
