Stopped by Crystal Jade for a late dinner on Sunday night, arriving around 8:30pm. As we don't eat meat, we didn't get the usual order here of 小籠包 steamed soup dumplings and 擔擔麵 dan dan noodles (even though there is a vegetarian option, it's really just noodles and broth). So instead, we ordered main dishes to eat with rice:四喜烤麩 Braised Gluten $58One of my fave Shanghainese style starter dishes! Thought the one here was a bit too oily, but was still flavourful and had nice big chunks in it too.

 One of my fave Shanghainese style starter dishes! Thought the one here was a bit too oily, but was still flavourful and had nice big chunks in it too. The mushrooms soaked up lots of flavour and there was a good amount of edamame too.

 Although we were disappointed that it wasn't amaranth leaves, the spinach still paired quite nicely in this dish. The broth was nice and the mix of eggs were great too. Overall quite a generous portion of vegetables considering the setting, but then again, it's over $80 (incl +10%) for a plate of veggies.

 Liked that this was nice and light, goes really well with rice too. Thought it was a great mix of egg white and scallop, and it tastes even better with a sprinkle of white pepper (which you can get tableside!)

 Thought this was quite yummy, I would recommend this. This dish can turn out quite bland sometimes, but this really wasn't and it also pairs really nicely with rice. Portion could be bigger. 


We each had bowl of rice for $15, and tea money per person is $9. 


Overall, a pretty decent meal but for $200 per person, it was definitely quite pricey (yes, I know we ordered seafood dishes, but those could be of higher quality too). Good to go for an easy meal out but don't expect anything too special. I appreciate the fact that they have a full page for vegetarian items at the back though, great to see restaurant chains do this! Especially meat heavy ones.
Other Info. : Tea money per person is $9
