crystal jade steamboat buffet @ holland village went for a crystal jade steamboat buffet at holland village that day with my family. there were three seatings, we had to take the first one 5.30-7.30pm because the second one, which was cheaper by $3, was fully booked--on a Monday! just in cause you're wondering about the price difference, there's nothing different in the amount of food they served. so what did we get for $22.80++? 1. free flow of drinks  we had a choice among barley (they only had cold ones), chinese tea and one more i can't remember. had so many refills for the barley! 2. two types of soup  from previous posts, it's obvious that my preference is a no brainer! so other than ma la, we had century egg and coriander soup. while the latter sounds dubious, it was actually delicious! the soup went with everything. on the other hand, the ma la soup was quite disappointing. 3. 100g of prawns per person  that was equivalent to 3 (medium-large sized) prawns per person. 4. free flow of uncooked food  one thing you have to remember about ordering which is to order lots in advance. they take really long to serve, so by the time the food comes you would have waited 15-20 minutes. for us, most of the time we spent there was waiting. so we learnt after the second time and ordered 3 servings of meat at one time. 5. dim sum and xiao long bao  last but not least, the namesake of the restaurant--xiao long bao. fantabulous, even better than that of din tai fung! soft, tender and just bursts in your mouth! you should also try the char siew bao. just the right amount of bao and lots of filling! |
