Crystal Jade Kitchen @ Isetan Scotts

It was one of the days we were walking where the ladies were shopping and the guys were window shop. After walking around 4 or 5 hours, your legs grow tired and weary. You also get hungry and angry. LOL

We just wanted to have a quick dinner and be done with dinner. LOL

I am sure you all have this feeling every now and then. After walking around, our last stop was at Isetan Scotts. As it was dinner time, we thought we would just eat at the same building.

We decided on Chinese food, so we end up at Crystal Jade Kitchen. Wow, this place seems to be popular, it's quite packed!

*** Veggies and Tofu ***

Just a simple tofu and veggies dish.

*** Claypot Fish Head ***

We had ordered this first because the service staff said it will take some time to prepare. It was nice. Fish was fresh and if you like saucy things like this, you would love it. Eat it with all the rice you want!

But we noted that it had lots of tofu. The lady should have told us, so that we would order a different veggie dish. We had tofu overdose.

If you are wondering where is the fish? It's probably still swimming in the gravy.
We love the thick pieces of sio bak on it.

Guess what? Before dinner, we had some snacks bought from the Isetan supermarket. They had a German fair and we bought some German Grilled Pork. It looks exactly like the Chinese Sio Bak! It taste the same too!

*** Minced Meat with Brinjal ***

Another of the veggie dish. It's a bit small today though.

*** Stir Fried Pork Liver ***

The whole table loves pork liver except me. I did not try it at all.  ;-)

Crystal Jade Kitchen @ Isetan Scotts

This was a quick dinner few weeks ago. (I am digging out old photos that I have not posted. haha) Sis, Momo and I were shopping (the girls) / window shopping (me) at Isetan. There was some sale going on and when it was time for dinner, we ate upstairs at Crystal Jade.

We chose CJ because we though it was of the healthier options compared to the other restaurants beside it. We were there before 7 so the crowds were not there yet which means everything was really fast! The food was served quickly, which was good for the hungry people like us. :-)

This is the bittergourd and pork claypot dish. Sis and I are bittergourd fans. Do you believe that we juice raw bittergourd for breakfast almost daily? haha...

We like cooked bittergourd for a change. This dish was nice.



This is the '3 Cups Chicken'. (San Pei Ji).
I like the sauce of this dish and I ate up my sis' rice so that I can finish this sauce. LOL



The green dish for the night was the Triple Egg and Veg dish.
Do you realise something? Like Sesame Street, today's post is brought to you by the Number THREE.

3 dishes - 3 Eggs Veg Dish - 3 Cup Chicken Dish - 3 Diners.



Nice quick dinner.
Anyone who are bittergourd fans out there? You should do an online search about benefits of bittergourd and you might just want to try it out :-)

Tonkichi @ Shaw House / Isetan Scotts

Met with "Can Do" and "Gorilla" for dinner last weekend. Momo arranged it, and sis chose the place to eat. I just need to show up and eat! ;-)

We met at Isetan Scotts because there was some items that we are getting from the Isetan Sale. After getting them, we ate at Tonkichi.

At Tonkichi, the grinding and mixing the sesame seeds with the Tonkatsu sauce is always fun.



This sauce is tasty with the meats. It smells good too!

12 June Update:
A note of thanks to "Spiderx" who emailed. He taught me that I should not use the wooden stick to mix the sauce. Oops! Putting this note here, so that others won't be ignorant and do the wrong thing too :-)

The wooden stick/pestle is for pounding the sesame seeds only. We are suppose to use our chopsticks to stir the tonkatsu sauce with the pounded sesame seeds. (Not with the wooden stick).




Sis wanted something healthier, so she had the Udon Soup with Pork.



It still comes with something fried, but it's potato croquette.



Plus salads.



Gorilla had the Father's Day Set. It has almost everything! Comes with Japanese beer.
Yes, the Father's Day set are available now!



"Can Do" had the Hire Katsu Set.



I had the Cold Ramen set. I think it's delicious as I like cold noodles ;-)



You can choose any katsu on the menu to go with it for the set. I also had another side that comes with my set. I took the chicken karaage.



All of ended our meals with very sweet watermelon. ;-)



It seems every Tonkichi serves a slightly different menu. We saw a notice saying that their new branch at Orchard Central is now opened. Took a peek on another day and see that the Orchard Central branch looks very nice!

Galatissimo @ Shaw House

I have always wanted to try the gelato at Shaw House but never got a chance too. Last week, i just had to eat that and promptly walked over there after dinner with friends.

I choose the passion fruit one. It was very passion-fruity and yummy. You could bite into the seeds too ;)



Try it! Some people say you never try gelato until you have tried this one.
