Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao
112 E Coast Rd, #02-21, i12, 428802
One of the dishes I really missed after giving up meat was Xiao Long Bao and I’ve finally found a delicious plant-based version at Crystal Jade. I believe it’s only available at their i12 Katong outlet. The soup in this dumpling is just chef’s kiss!
Not the best XLB I’ve had. The skin is too thick and the filling is so so. Won’t order again.
Update: (Feb 2023) I ordered this again and it is really very good. Skin is not too thick even at the folds I think it’s acceptable. And I love the soup in their dumplings. 😋🌱🫶🏻 When I devoured them, it’s already cold.. yet it is belly delicious. There’s soup in the dumpling with yummy impossible fillings. For this xlb vinegar and ginger is not recommended cos it is really good on its own. 🌱
