i had one S$50 groupon voucher left expiring on 30.6.2015, so not much choice than to go with sis for dinner on 28.6.2015.
the placed had 2 seatings 5.30pm & 7.30pm. it was quite packed and this was a monday. everyone was using the vouchers. i wonder how traffic be like if no vouchers, but groupon vouchers tend to keep reappearing anyway.
we ordered the saliva chicken口水鸡 – S$8.80. it was pretty good actually.
i would say crystal jade lamian xiaolongbao version had a lot more kick.
this one was a large helping. chicken was good, chilli was mild but still quite flavourful especially taking a little together with the chicken. maybe my own saliva chicken口水鸡 standard.
i had soup dumplings海味抄手the last time & it was good, so i ordered it again.^^
there were 6 dumplings. dumplings skin was smooth & meat filling was good.
soup lagi best!
this soup dumplings海味抄手, i think S$9.80 was very worth ordering.
we were deciding between braised beef & bamboo shoot & this dish. server said this dish was more popular. but it was a very average dish at S$13.80.
can’t really say the dish was not good. it was quite average if competent, nothing much to say about the tofu. & in comparison would be the worst dish we ordered.
dan dan noodles 担担面 S$9.80 was very good!
again the spiciness seemed to have been moderated, but it was still tasty & flavourful. i liked it!
the ice jelly was also something i had last time.
i did not actually remember it, but somehow i seemed to have gravitated to ordering the same item.
it was refreshing. a small dish at S$3.80, i guess not cheap or expensive in particular. 🙂
i find the pricing generally far more expensive than a good restaurant like crystal jade e.g. 小笼包 S$9.80 (i.e. w/o the groupon discounts). guess problem with such a place is always what dishes one orders. this time we ordered mostly good dishes we liked, except that we still had a lemon (the deep-fried tofu dish).
the dinner for 2pax came to S$30.80 using my groupon vouchers (S$25 for S$50 voucher value). at this price i would say the food was pretty good!^^
