Honestly speaking, HK Cafe has become an overwhelming phenomenon in Singapore. Just like bubble tea, some restaurants eagerly take off in the HK Cafe direction after seeing decent successes in the pioneering batches. Crystal Jade was the latest finding for us. Hmm.. deco wise seemed abit off - a combi of Tong Shi Cafe + Cafe Cartel. They were playing Taiwanese CNY songs with MTVs which probably even our parents wouldn't enjoy too much more than us!
Foodwise.. let's take a closer look.
A weak tummy day for me meant I wasn't so looking forward to the food until...
The 'Yuan Yang' came in a COOL conical flask that has a concaved portion containing dry ice. Well, taste wise was ok, but the presentation was innovative for sure with all the smoke surging out from the centre. It actually also helps to keep the flask cool too. It impressed Shirley more than me, but the next on the list that came certainly raised my eyebrows!!
Mixed Grill!! It looked fantastic! With a decent sized portion of lamb-chop, chicken, sausage egg, it reminded Shirley of her mixed grill meal in HK. It cost only around $13. Worth every penny if you are looking to fill up your tummy in Orchard area.

Ok. Got to admit, this green tea snow ice was disappointing. I know this sounds weird but it was suppose to be my staple food for a bad tummy day haha, but at the end it was the mixed grill (okok.. generously shared by Shirley) that help make up for the snow ice. The snow ice was more of green tea syrup than real green tea powder taste, mixed with red been and jelly. Can't really taste real green tea honestly.
A place you can visit when u are really hungry and do not want to suffer the long queues else where. Foodwise - stick to mixed grill.
