Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao 翡翠拉面小笼包 (i12 Katong)

A soothing plate of slurpworthy noodles, paired with chilled poached chicken and interestingly, century egg, which added a funky umami to the piquant chilli and vinegar sauce. Top up a few dollars more to swap chicken breast for succulent chicken thigh.

Conquered the limited-time Xiao Long Bao buffet ($29.80++) at Crystal Jade, ending this September. The buffet covered original Xiao Long Bao, 1 bowl of noodles per person, and 1 appetiser per table. Limited to 20 pieces per round and had to finish before ordering another round.

The Xiao Long Bao were piping hot, soupy, and delightful. Loved the juicy, flavourful fillings and the perfect skin. We devoured each round in under 5 minutes; that's how much we loved them!

As the rounds progressed, we noticed a change in quality during the 'late game'. The skin got slightly thicker, and the meat became richer, making us feel a bit overwhelmed or 'jelak', but it was still delicious. Perhaps we kept the chef busy and maybe pissed off by the speed we ate, but nevertheless, thank you for serving us the Xiao Long Bao.
