Mummy would asked for a different pressie every year from us, HP, makeover photoshoot, jewelleries etc.. She will go choose her own gift, buy 1st and collect the money from us..This is the most practical way of giving her pressie or so she claimed..whahahah but we are used to it le, no need racked our brains over the pressie..
Last yr, she was due to fly to Europe during her bday and so she encashed her gift..Meaning to say, she dun wan gifts and asked for ang baos instead..whahah straight in my face she tell me can...I gave her a pretty big 1 as the things in Europe arent cheap..
This year, she is going back to her dad's hometown in China with her brothers n my brother to pay a visit to her relatives there..Again, she said she wan ang bao onli so that she got funding for the trip..Faintzzzz..Ya, and it is ang bao she gets..
Neverhteless, my elder bro asked to organised a meal for her and since he had exchanged for a crystal jade voucher from M1, we decided to eat there..I didnt manage to get a reservation as they do not accept, thus we went at 5pm to queue up for a place and if you think we are kiasu, there are oredi plp in queue can..whahah Went to the newly opened Clementi Mall, mum always have a soft spot for clementi as it is where we lived for many yrs before shifting to CCK...
I muz admit that I am deeply disappointed with the service. Order Barley drink for all 6 of us but after 5min, the waitress came n informed us that they ran out of Barley drink..HUH? I tot you juz opened for business? She onli came with 1 cup can?We told mummy to take the drink and the rest of us ordered Honey Lemon.
10min later, I got abit impatient and asked the team leader why our drinks are not served yet? You know what? She raised her voice at me!Telling me "在弄，要来了啦" I was damn pissed by her attitute, am I not entitled to even ask? If the food is served slow, I can understand, but how difficult is it to serve drinks 1st? Isnt the basic rule to serve drink 1st? Damn it, told my bro to keep a lookout for her name tag as I wanna lodge a complain towards her..She didnt dare to face me after that as I tink she senses my anger...
And oh, the food, was realli nothin fantastic, in fact, it was below my expectations. This is the 1st time we've been to Crystal Jade and I found the food disappointing.Below are what we ordered:
1). 四季豆炒虾酱
1stly, the serving seems abit like those in a rush and anyhow dump the veggies on the plate. Realli CMI. Liang Liang commented tat their 四季豆is abit on the nuah nuah side..I found it abit tasteless to be frank. 1st dish- FAILED!

I am not sure whether they under serve us or simply used too big a plate but this is their medium portion kk? This dish the best among we ordered. By the best, I dun mean the best of all 宫保鸡丁 I've eaten before. This is at most average onli, but it tastes better den the other dishes of the night. Not too spicy for my family member's liking, and quite an amount of cashew nuts thrown...

Up next is the fish, this is special can? The 1st time in my life I am served on the middle portion of the fish instead of 1 whole full fish..No wonder the waitress was asking whether I wan the middle part or the tail part. Turns out that they cut the fish up part by part n serve de..Win oredi..And it doesnt even look like fish when it was 1st presented to us..Looks like the tofu that they placed beside it.. The portion was miserable can even with the middle sized orderd..Each 1 of us took a mouthful onli..Lucky didnt ordered the small sized..I tink onli mummy gets to ea the fish with the rest of us eating the tofu or veggies..

This is the most classic of all dishes..Super salty lo!!!While I understand Cai-por is salty by nature but neber in my life I tasted such awful Cai Por egg..And they claimed for oysters inside..Of all pcs I ate, I didnt taste oyster leh, maybe I suay? Even my elder bro whu is an egg fan didnt wanna eat much of this dish..But we did finish it la, cuz not full ma..whahaha

This is most disappointing of all. The picture looks so tempting,so delicious but then when we it is 1st served, we were all sianzz lo..Look beri dry, and the prawn looks like being anyhow thrown onto the plate again.. Den the prawn aso dun haf the taste of the salted egg lo, in another words, the prawn is tasted bland, not favoured enuff..The prawn was aso not fresh, abit on the small side..I would anytime prefer the wasabi prawns from Zhou's Kitchen..

She asked for the pic to be retake saying that she dun like the angle of her head in the 1st photo..She claimed it look too high..whhahhaha...Den she told me to take the 1st photo tat she dun like..Faintzzz...
Our ice cream were served quite slow and by now, I am tired to find some 1 to scold..Ice cream was already melting when we were served...Sianz...It was a lousy nite but great company..It always feel great to have a meal with my love 1...Happie bday and Mother's day Mummy!!!
