The Famous Xiao Long Bao

Xiao Long Bao is a type of soupy dumpling, inside is filled with pork meat, the soup all held by a thin layer of skin. This is best to be eaten in whole, ensuring that the soup, meat and the skin is consumed at the same time! With the endless flow of Xiao Long Baos, customers can be assured to order at least 5-7 baskets of it without feeling the hole in the pocket!

Conclusion
Reservations are highly recommended here. If you are thinking of walk-in for steamboat buffet, you are not getting those xiao long baos in your stomach today. Call the number at the end of our post to make your booking today! (At least 2-3 days, bookings are filling up fast!)

The overall service and standards were quite acceptable, just that the serving of food is slower.
The freshness and preparation of food served is applauding. The sliced beef is done nicely, ensuring the thin layer of meat for ease of cooking. The tiger prawns are skewed properly, allowing the guest to consume it easily.

Regardless of which seating you paid for, I personally think it is very worthwhile. Xiao Long Baos you find outside is priced quite high invidividually. Here at Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao is unlimited supply? Whats more to say?
