I’ll be featuring Crystal Jade @ Lot 10 for my part II of Lamiens and Xiao Long Baos. I brought along my roomie Suyen and some new makan kaki – my classmate Mr. S and his cousin Mr. A who had just came back from Cambridge. It’s quite ridiculous if feed Mr. A with western food upon his arrival right? So we opt for something Chinese, and I hope that he’s craving for Chinese food.
Yeah, in terms of interior, Dragon I wins with all the grand statues of Qin terra cotta warriors and the black and red themes that feels so oriental. Crystal Jade is more to simplicity with wooden tables and chairs, transparent glasses that let customers oversee the buzz of Bukit Bintang.
Some dried shrimps chillies? Please correct me if I’m wrong. It goes well with the lamiens if you prefer a hint of spiciness.
Raddish Puffs that came pippingly hot. The pastry is so light and airy and puffy. Hmmmm good stuff! The savoury taste of the sengkuang (turnips) is just nice too.
Tadah~! The long awaited Xiao Long Baos! I think that the making of Xiao Long Baos is an art, some of the Sifus are even particular about the number of folds on each Xiao Long Bao.
Its best to be eaten with some shredded gingers and dips of vinegar. As I’d told you guys before, the right way of eating is to take a small bite of the skin and suck out the broth inside. Orelse, you’ll ended up with burning tongue.
Sze Chuan Beef La Mien ordered by Mr. A. The broth is spicy, the beef is tender, and the lamien is springy.
The rest of us had choosen this one as it looks tempting in the menu. Needless to say, the deep fried pork ribs are yummy~!
i personally prefer crystal jade. haha their portion is so huge as compared with the pic shown in the menu.

Yum! I also had siu loong baos that day but at Shanghai, Marriott. Expensive i.e. 3 for RM9 but worth it as it was melt in the mouth quality.
