Crystal Jade Palace Restaurant Takashimaya





Tim Sum, originally from China, then improved by other Chinese especially the Cantonese and now its everywhere. Nearly everywhere. One such everywhere is Takashimaya. And more specifically, Crystal Jade Palace restaurant.

Service was excellent. Food was average. The picture taken should have been 1 complete table with all the dishes ordered BUT we were too hungry and I had been plagued by a case of bad taxi drivers who don't know how to get to my destinations - I was in a bad mood.

I had been here several times before but they were just for lunch meetings. So this time, as a lunch outing with my wife I have to say that the food isn't as good as it is during the weekday. Maybe because I'm not concentrating on the food during office hours but I was disappointed.

What really blew me away was that we ordered glutinous rice wrapped in banana leaf, and that took forever because we were informed that the item was frozen and needed a longer time to thaw and steam. I don't want to knit pick but I think this about sums up what I think about the place.

Seriously average.

Give me my long lines and bad service at Yan Palace any day.
