Went to the Crystal Jade Korean Ginseng Chicken and BBQ in Centrepoint. My first impression of the place was pretty good. The waitress were dressed in “hanboks” and greeted us warmly with "Welcome" in Korean. Looking at the menu, there are a lots of dishes to choose from makes me ponder which dishes to order because i am not really into Korean food. Eventually decided on having the set dinner for two person.
First came the appetiser consisting of a few cold vegetables mini dishes including the Kimchi. The rice dish is one of the best rice dishes i have ever tried, although i have forgotten the name of it. I am guessing it to be Kimchi fried rice, because its abit reddish and there are bits of kimchi inside. The rice is sticky and it is abit similar to claypot rice with crispy charred bits inside. So tasty!
Next we had their "Samgyetang", the Korean Ginseng Chicken Soup which is the specialty of the place. Afterall this place named itself after this dish, but was left abit dissapointed. It is'nt bad, nor was it very good. The Samgyetang taste the best when it is hot, however we were too busy with the other dishes. When we tried it, it was already cold and it wasnt really that nice. The soup has an entire chicken inside and it seems that they stewed it for quite sometime because the meat is so tender.
Dining here is not really cheap, cost us around $40 per person. We had a difficult time trying to finish the food, because the portion for the two person dinner was too big for us.
