Dim Sum Craving

Every few weeks I wake up with a Dim Sum craving, when nothing else will do, and last Saturday was one of those days. We had a spot of shopping to do on Orchard Road so chose Crystal Jade Nan Jiang Cuisine at Ngee Ann City. Last time we came here we had to wait for half an hour for a table, so today we booked ahead and what to you know? It was half empty… Well who cares, we had a table in a nice restaurant and a veritable feast to enjoy.

We started with a chicken and noodle salad with a spicy peanut sauce, which was quite strange – it basically tasted like cold noodles and chicken mixed in with some peanut butter and chilli – but hey, I like noodles, chicken, chilli and peanut butter, so it was ok by me…

We also pigged out on Crispy Beancurd Rolls with Shrimp, a true winner:

Ha Kau Shrimp Dumpling, as good as ever

Xiao Long Bao (and those damn dumplings stuck to the lettuce leaf so the soup disappeared into the steamer before it reached my mouth, but the remaining dumplings was still pretty good)

Siew Mai

And our favourite dish from our last visit: Pork Wanton in a Spicy Sauce – unfortunately they just didn’t live up to our memories though, today’s were decidedly tasteless and oily.

All in all though, a tasty lunch… and a craving satisfied… ah how I love living in Asia…
