Tom Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao is the latest food option that we’ve tried under the Priority Pass access. Having tried the other food options by Priority Pass at Changi Airport such as Terrace Chinese Kitchen, Chutney Mary, Kaveri Indian Vegetarian and Crystal Jade Go, it was time for us to try out Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao located on the airside of Terminal 1 Changi Airport Singapore.

Our Experience of Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao Priority Pass access at Changi Airport Terminal 1
As we visited at 7:30am in the morning prior to our departure to KL, we were able to check out the Priority Pass breakfast menu at Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao, which includes the following options:
Combo A
Signature SzeChuan DanDan La Mian *Spicy
(Peanut Sauce & Chili Oil)
Combo B
La Mian with Braised Beef Brisket
Combo C
La Mian with Pork and Vegetable Dumpling
All options come with steamed shrimp dumpling (har kau) as well as Chinese Tea/Soya Milk.
This time, we went with Combo B and Combo C…
All in all, we were actually quite disappointed with the breakfast offerings at Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao (via Priority Pass). This was because the noodles were not as tasty as it was supposed to be (lumpy at some bits and not taong/chewy). As for the soup, it was tasteless. The har kau was also so-so. We thought that since the noodles were quite meh, the har kau could help “save-the-day”, but only to our dismay. In the end, we didn’t finish both the noodles nor the har kau – showing how bad the offerings really were.

We might return to try out the lunch/dinner menu. However, for the Priority Pass breakfast menu at Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao, we’d pretty much recommend not to try out. In fact, our experience at Crystal Jade Go (T4 airside), also with Priority Pass, was so much better. Read all about our Crystal Jade Go experience here.
