I remember seeing the name in the Michelin Guide and I always wanted to try it. I heard that from friends this restaurnat is always busy with line up for lunch and dinner; when we get to the restaurant at 6:30pm there is already around 20-30 people waiting for table!!But it must be our lucky day everyone is waiting for the table that sit 2-4 and we have 6 people so they actually gave us the biggest table that can seat 10 and dont have share the table either.

But it must be our lucky day everyone is waiting for the table that sit 2-4 and we have 6 people so they actually gave us the biggest table that can seat 10 and dont have share the table either. The waitress adviced us we have to give the table back at 7:45 but never once they have put pressure on us during the dinner. Service is excellent I have no complain at all. The waitress is always there when we try to order (we keep adding on while we were eating as the dishes are quite small), she also make sure there is always tea in our cup & offered to cut the noodle in small peices when I requested it to come first as it was for my baby daughter. I didn't get a chance to take pitures of all the dishes as I was busy feeding my daughter so unfortunately I won't have proper translation for the dishes's name. However their menu does have english and japanese translation which is a bonus for tourists.
Noodle with steamed beef broth
The broth has longan in it so it is quite sweet and the broth is very clear. The noodle is not bad and not much MSG in the broth my daughter love it!!
Deep Fried "SIlver line" Bun
It is my favourite dish when I was a kid but I have alot of bad one from other dim sum restaurant. This one here is for sure authentic I can't complain!
Stir Fried spinach with garlic
it has lots of garlic to enhance the favour and it is prefectly cooked
look and tasted like Roti I am not sure this is authentic Shanghai food but it need some sauce to go with it which we didnt have...
Shanghai style fried thick noodle
The noodle is the thickest I had ever seen but it is one of the best dish on the table! the thick noodle accomandate the heavy favour very well. Very Authentic is a must try dish
Other dishes that I tried without picutre:
Steam Pork Dumplings - prefectly executed dish, the dumpling is juicy with lots of broth in it - We end up ordering more!
stir fried Yellow eel with chives - The sauce is good it has the authentic heavy favour but the eel must been frozen so not much "EEL" taste in it and also missing is the minced garlic in broiled Oil.
We had a couple more dishes but I did not get a chance to try but overall it was a good experience will come back for sure. Unlike some of the new style Shanghai food that went with the lighter favour; Crystal Jade stick with the authentic old style heavy favour - hope next time we dont have to wait for table again!!
P.S: Big thrumb up for the open kitchen concern it show the kitchen is clean and looking at the chef making all the noodles fresh give u a better appetite!!
