fei chui service is not good. once, i had to order my tea, twice (since they don’t serve plain water). to make things worse, it never came, and to make things even worst, i was even charged for it in the final bill!!!!! i didn’t bother to strike it out as it was only a few dollars.

Whoa the long queue sounds pretty bad. That’s why I always make a reservation in advance before I head down to such popular places.

I’m okay with cold dishes so long as they are good! The sauce was like what you said, unique and tasty. But they were quite stingy with their food portion and that’s a real shame.

The service at the Crystal Jade Xiao Long Bao in Holland Village can be terrible on a Saturday night (was there two Sats ago)…

The queue was very long, they started giving out numbers only halfway through our wait, *almost* cutting out those who had been queueing, and the waitstaff we encountered could hardly be called “ever willing”. The food, however, was very good. We tried that crazy expensive $16.80 (iirc) chicken with preserved egg plus other stuff… huge dish! Was it worth it, though? Hmm… depends if you like cold dishes or not. I think the one you ordered is the ‘normal’ sized version, but the sauce used was still very unique and tasty.
