On Monday, we had dinner at Crystal Jade Chinese Restaurant at Gardens, Mid Valley City. I had wanted to try Fong Lye Taiwanese Restaurant but hubby said that the food isn’t fantastic. He wanted to try the new Crystal Jade’s fine dine chinese restaurant since he loves the Crystal Jade’s fast-food outlet, especially the ‘lai mien’.
This is what we ordered :
Tofu noodles, i.e. tofu made in the shape of noodles.
3 types of roasted stuff – suckling pig, roasted pork (siew yoke) and roasted duck.
Special house tofu (made with spinach).
Seafood fried rice which the gals enjoyed.
Stir-fried ‘sei kwai tau’ or four-season bean.
My favorite ‘sing lei kai’ or crispy roast chicken.
Also ordered a fried vermicelli which was tasteless and looked ‘white’ and unappetizing. Even my maid can cook a better fried vermicelli. Thus, I did not post the pic of the fried vermicelli here.
Verdict : Food wise – satisfactory but nothing to shout about, run-of-the-mill classy chinese restaurant food.
Ambience : typical fine dine chinese restaurant setting with a good view of KL.
What I don’t like is that we were being stared at throughout dinner… by the supposed-to-be hospitable and service-at-your-demand waiters….. who were standing everywhere, eyes fixated on us, which made me a tad uneasy. We couldn’t even talk what we wanted to talk about loudly as we felt we were being eavesdropped by the no-intention-to-listen-to-your conversation waiters who were standing just a few feet away from our table.
Just when the food arrived, my little princess cried for her milkie as expected. My mum had to call the lady captain over and politely ask her to tell the waiters to walk away as I had to nurse Baby C. I went to a corner and quickly nursed my little princess who choked till she puked on me and on the floor, but thankfully, only very little puke.
Total bill came up to around RM230, which was really expensive.
I don’t think there will be a second visit to this restaurant, unless someone gives us a treat there. I should have gone to my favorite Purple Cane Chinese Restaurant or Din Tai Fung at Gardens or Dragon-I at Mid Valley Megamall.

Haha, Jeff&I went there during our last trip back in June. I was strongly craving for crab when we were at Gardens and he didn’t know where to bring me except to Crystal Jade. I got very annoyed with the waiters who were hovering nearby. No privacy at all!
I havent tried Crystal jade. I surely wont feel comfortable with waiters staring at me. I think they must be so free nothing better to do! 😀
