Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao, Lot 10, KL

Right after a few weeks on the unsatisfactory meal @ Jade-express, myself n my friend explore more on the Crystal Jade branch. This time is the Xiao Long Bao concept.. located at Lot 10, KL

Look @ the picture! There were 3 chef which was not concentrate in their work! So BZBD looking at me when i take picture!

The Menu
Let's start with some cold dish ... and my friend ordered the Drunken Pig Knuckle (RM 12). I didnt try out this because im not a fans of pork knuckle especially if they cook by only blanching.

Chicken Marinated with wine (RM 14)... Ohh..this was a good one with a strong flavour of "fa diu wine" The chicken was nicely marinated but the portion was very less..


Fried Rice with shrimp and vege (RM 16) - The rice was fluffy and u can even feel every single rice in yr mouth! Thumbs up!
We also ordered another version or fried rice - Fried Rice with Chicken, prawn and ham (RM 16) If just now was thumbs up, this was 2 thumbs up! i love fried rice with lots of egg and ham

Pork Dumpling in CHilli Oil (RM 10) - This was something good too. the dumpling skin was not too think and the taste of pork goes so well with the die hard chilli oil.

Shanghai La Mian with pork ribs (RM 14) - Well, i can't differentiate much on this La Mian with those in Dragon - I. I feel the taste was almost the same.. in term of fried pork ribs, i think Dragon - I better.

Dried La mian with chicken shredded and black fungus (RM 14) - err... this is just a normal fried noodle..


Pan Fried Shanghai Pork Bun (RM 16) - Ohh.. i kinda love this! The filing was so fresh and the bao was so soft and the base was a bit crisp..... yum yum!!


Crispy Eel RM 14 - This is also another must order dish! The crispy eel with sweet honey taste really is what i love!!

Shanghai Xiao Long Bao RM 8 - Eerrr.... xiao long bao wise....just normal..


Snow Egg White, Scallop and fish RM 16 - The combination of the half cooked eggie, scallop n fish was really good! It's soft and melt in yr mouth!


Since i love hot n sour dish, i also ordered the Sze Chuan Hot and Sour La Mian soup priced at RM 12. It's really hot and sour with lots of black fungus, mushroom and shredded chichekn



Look @ the whole table of food!

It's time for dessert!!We ordered the almond and lychee pudding, longan and "shuet ye" hot dessert and also....( err...can't remember what is that coz i didnt taste on it)

Precious Pea said...

"Joe" who is constantly craving said...

u leng chai mah look at u..haha
the food here is virtually a copy n paste from dragon i or vice versa.. the snow white is a classic shanghai dish which is just absolutely gorgeous eventhough its just basically egg white

MeiyeN said...

goodness... so much of food! oh... i've yet to visit this place... next time when i am @ lot 10 then.. :D

Jackson said...

xiu long bao : I agree with you. A lot fo bloggers still think that food from Dragon - I is so bad but for me is acceptable. end of the day, they still making tons of money coz they cater to mass market, but not the niche bloggers market.

jason : not 2 person. I guess its around 10ppl. The food was just enough only.

precious pea : Hahaha... i guess HK must have better food rite? Can't wait to see yr HK review!

joe : I dunno which is the pioneer but they both ( In fact a lot such as Shanghai 10, Nan Xiang...) served acceptable Shanghai food. Most of the real Shnaghai food i tried in SHanghai was just average.. All the dish here already modified to suit local taste which i kinda like.

Big Boys Oven : Haha..let u do the write up coz im totally not good in that area. I just love to eat around!!! Definately we can share the passion towards food together or even hang out for great food!

meiyen : Hehehe... let me cover the chinese cuisine n u explore more on high end authentic food! hehehe
