Private Christmas Dinner!

Sincere apologies, here's another blog that is late for a reason. I don't like to idea of revealing my friends/ love ones or my own travel plans in cyberspace before the event itself for safety reasons. Thank you for understanding.

Mr Funshine and Mr Benzu were leaving town for a year end trip last year, so I treated them a meal before they get too busy prepping for their holiday. We were loitering around Bishan Juction 8 and craving for Chinese cuisine, thus we happily settled with Crystal Jade!

The entrance

The serviette, I just like the color+ finish of the wrapper

Our order slips, the dish will be strike off once it's served

One of the all-time dish I'll always order, 3-Eggs Spinach. They have normal egg, Salted egg and Century egg cooked with "oh-so-tender" spinach in light but flavorful broth

Deep Fried Prawn Wanton with Salad dip

This is the kind of wanton wrap I love, it's super light & crispy

I munched on the succulent prawn, yum yum... Did you know, I super love prawns?

Tasty Deep Fried Prawns in Salt Egg Batter, see... I love prawns

Aww... how I wish you were there too

This is "Main Attraction" dish for the meal.

The restaurant is renown for their Meat Platter (normally run out of it if you drop in too late). In the above picture (from left to right) is Poached Chicken (油鸡), Roast Duck and Roast Pork.

The dip is a mix of finely diced spring onion, ginger in oil

Roasted pork which I ate with chili

Roast Duck which & ate with the dip provided, so well-marinated and tender

Fried Rice served in a stone bowl

I can taste Chinese fermented black beans (黑豆豆豉) in this rice dish, I did not know they go together so well. Simply delicious!

We washed our wonderful meal down with a few glasses of Chinese Tea


After the meal, as per our routine, we decided to chill over a drink before heading home. There's a nice little Olio Dome nestled in the nearby community centre where we do visit once in awhile. At that point of time, the place was "all dressed up" for Christmas. In my personal point of view, this quite a romantic place... it's make me feel as if I'm no longer in Singapore. Pity that the photos I took does not show how cosy the place is.

Something happened that day and I pondered, and this is what I derived at:

Don't fight over trivial matters, but I understand that transparency's between a couple is a double bladed sword. It can either make a relationship stronger or completely destroy one. However, I do envy people who can make the best out of their love for each other through all difficulties, I just never came across one who is strong enough to treasure me this way.
