We are big fans of Ji Xian's juicy and tender steamed bamboo clams and were disappointed to learn that they were out of season. The folks at Ji Xian therefore suggested that we check out their mini bamboo clams prepared the same way.
Unfortunately, everyone felt that the mini version fell short of our expectations. They were noticeably smaller and tougher with a 'stringy' texture.
Not a fan of the ingredient itself tbh.
The pork chop came with bones, which made it more tricky to eat than I’d like. The noodles were alright, nice and chewy, but the sauce felt too mild and lacked the rich, punchy flavour I was expecting. Overall, it just didn’t come together as I thought it would 》$9.20
Was hoping for more from this. The wanton skin was way too thick, making each bite feel heavy and doughy. The vinegar and chilli oil were there, but the flavours still felt muted. Without that punch of heat and tang, the whole dish ended up feeling pretty underwhelming 》$8.60
Crispy on the outside, bursting with flavour on the inside. The pan-fried bun platter features two signature pan-fried crispy pork soup buns and two prawn pan-fried buns.
The pork soup buns are bursting with rich, delicious broth (bite carefully to catch every drop). The prawn buns offer a lighter, subtly sweet contrast, still juicy but with a bouncy bite. Both deliver that golden, crackly base that makes pan-fried buns so irresistible. Best enjoyed fresh and piping hot 》$8.60
At the low end, ImpTreas’ Treasures is not as good as Crystal Jade’s HK Kitchen - much shorter menu. Quality is ok, but if they’re in same location, Treasures would lose. At the high end, they’re much better.
