Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao at Takashimaya Orchard

As the restaurant name mentions, this Crystal Jade outlet focuses mainly on Chinese la mian and xiao long bao dishes with many items similar to Din Tai Fung and Paradise Dynasty. We were at their Takashimaya branch for New Year Eve dinner. The restaurant isn't big, only housing at most 40 to 50 customers. Ordering is done manually on the order paper. 

We ordered 2 appetizers and 4 mains.

1. Jellyfish with vinegar chilli ($9.80) - springy jellyfish so delicious and appetizing. We love the crunchiness of the jellyfish. Rating: 4.2/5

2. Chilli crab xiao long bao ($13.80) - 6pcs of extremely juicy baos very much to our taste. The soup has a chilli crab gravy taste and its indeed one of the best. Rating: 4.2/5

4. Eggplant with shredded pork ($14.80) - piping hot claypot with generous portion of braised eggplant and shredded pork. The gravy is just nice in taste and goes awesomely well with a bowl of rice.
