Lunch @ Crystal Jade Kitchen (Holland V)

We had lunch at Holland Village Crystal Jade Kitchen today for Shirlyn’s belated birthday and farewell lunch for Yingwei. I seldom visit CJ Kitchen as I’m not really into porridge and Chinese noodle but as Ghaya have not tried before we decided to head there.

We ordered the following:

  1. claypot tofu with diced chicken and salted fish (comparable with I.T)
  2. lemon chicken (I seriously don’t know why they ordered this as I’ll rather get their specialty - roasted duck/pork)
  3. shrimp rice roll (does not melt in the mouth like I.T)
  4. pan fried carrot cake (too mushy, prefer I.T)
  5. local spinach with oyster sauce (normal)
  6. char siew pastry (nice)
  7. glutinous rice chicken (pic says it all - below average. prefer I.T) you’)
  8. deep fried pork ribs (normal -with tinge of garlic taste)

*Imperial Treasure = I.T
*Crystal Jade = CJ

I guess I'll stick to their specality dishes like roasted duck, pork or porriege if I were to go CJ Kitchen again. Personally, I prefer some of I.T dim sum and dishes to CJ Kitchen. Speaking of CJ, nothing beats their CJ Palace's “palace fried rice” and fried fish fillet... *slurp*
