After a horrible lunch at Dome, and being stuck in a horrible one-and-a-half hour Friday evening jam, I was ravenous and looking forward to trying out C-Jade Express @ Midvalley Megamall. We arrived there close to 9pm, and immediately headed to the Lower Ground floor where the restaurant was located. C-Jade Express opened quite recently, and it serves Chinese fast food like Roast Pork, BBQ Pork, Roast Duck, Honey Pork, Steamed/Roasted Chicken, Suckling Pig (mmmm…), etc.
We queued up at the counter and placed our orders after perusing the extensive menu (the dinner menu had close to 90 varieties and combinations of their meat with noodle/rice, rice with soup, soup by itself, etc…). Hubby choose the Roasted Duck with Noodles and Watercress Soup, while I had the Wintermelon Soup Rice, and we both decided to share a plate of BBQ Pork and Roasted Chicken.
Our orders arrived within 10 minutes, and I eagerly dug in. Hubby’s noodles looked good…it’s the thin type of wantan noodles that I like.
My rice with soup looked very colourful with sweet corn, carrots and vege galore. The soup was very light and the vege was cooked just the right amount without being too soggy. And they added dried scallops in too…yummy! I’ve always loved eating soup with rice (there’s a feel-good factor to it…hehe…), and this one didn’t disappoint. Just the thing to fill up a hungry tummy.
Hubby’s Watercress Soup however, was a big letdown. It was rather oily, and the soup was not boiled long enough for it to absorb fully the flavour of the pork ribs and watercress. It’s a pity, cause we both really love watercress soup…=(
Moving on…I liked the BBQ Pork and Chicken…the Roast Pork has just the right amount of fat in it (to digress a little…we had dinner at Overseas Restaurant @ Armada Hotel last weekend and tried their BBQ Pork…it was superb! Absolutely, positively superb!), and the sauce they used was nice and sweet.
I’m looking forward to going back to try more dishes…I’ve got my eye on the Suckling Pig…*grin* Oh, one thing though…the drink that hubby ordered (Hong Kong milk tea…or something along those lines…) was nauseatingly sweet…not even adding ice helped…
