My favourite 'ex-dinner' ...

It's been a busy week and I am glad it's weekend, finally. This will be a short post where I re-visited this delicious chicken soup ramen at Crystal Jade La Mian in Bugis Junction.  It seems many years since I last had my favourite dinner (before I started on my bento and Japanese ramens) where there was a branch near my place then. It closed down and I seldom frequent the restaurant at other places , till I was at Bugis Junction with my family, who were here for a day trip.

It came with a chicken soup which I love it very much. Tasted like those chicken essence but its lighter and it came with a plain ramen. This used to be my favourite dinner many years ago!! It's nice to have it again after a long time!

Oh yeah, I also ordered a Xiao Long Bao to share with my wifey and kid. I didn't took their food pixs but it was nice enough to have dinner with them in SG before going back to JB together. Had a great time shopping around !!

Have a good weekend!! :)

  6. Crystal Jade, hmmm do we have it here and have I dined in a Crystal Jade before?? can't really remember clearly.. oooh, the ramen looks really plain and quite interesting it's in soup and then you got another bowl of soup to go with it, I expect the ramen to be dry when I see the soup, haha..
