Crystal Jade - Jiang Nan
Crystal Jade has been one of my favourite restaurants for a long time. I used to frequent the one at Suntec City and Takashimaya. They are good with many dishes but my favourites are the simple Xiao Long Pao and La Mian, especially their previous version of the spicy beef la mian. Not only were they my favourites, they were absolutely the best! They have since spawned many versions of restaurants for Tim Sum, Korean, etc. and now "Jiang Nan". To run a restaurant is one thing but so many of them takes something. Service-wise, they have been consistently good. Sometimes with interesting presentation such as these ice milk tea. The flask came with a built-in hole for a dry ice to create effect. I think a great difficulty for many eateries and restaurants must be about maintaining quality and taste. Can all of the outlet's food taste quite the same or at least close? If you can bring this gaps close together, you have a winner. Coming back to simple fare...
