xiaolongbao 小笼包

son is back for short break. 3 of u swent to hollandv for lunch on 12.8.2016.

daughter wanted nakhon but shutter not up yet at 11.45am & people were sitting outside.

son didn’t think much of nakhon so we went to crystal jade lamian xiaolongbao for lunch.

last time i made a post on crystal jade lamian xiaolongbao was on 11.1.2015.

didn’t think i was here much if at all since.

anyway the xiaolongbao 小笼包 today (we had 2 trays) was substandard, way below par. people were saying since L Capital Asia, LVMH’s private equity arm took over, food standard going south? don’t know but today’s xiaolongbao 小笼包 was very different from one of the best i had always enjoyed here, soup was still sweet but not as much, & skin & fillings were not good as many others i had, just very mediocre la…

saliva chicken 口水鸡

saliva chicken 口水鸡 still tasted good..

beef brisket lamian 牛腩拉面

beef brisket lamian 牛腩拉面 my daughter’s favourite. she still liked it today.

i tasted a bit but i think that sicc’s version was still much better, both the soup & the briskets/tendons.

spicy xo seafood fried rice – S$14.80

the best here for me was the seafood fried rice in spicy xo sauce.

spicy xo seafood fried rice – S$14.80

rice was so fragrant, individual grain. we say “tio tio” in teochew. good amount of ingredients. quantity seemed to have shrink quite a bit for S$14.80.

price for lunch was not cheap at S$61 for 3pax for the quality of food.
