I really love this barbecue sauce. Pour the sauce slowly through a fine sieve into a large bowl and get rid of any larger bits left behind in the sieve
The Baked Bo Lo BBQ Pork Bun (P 180/ 3 pcs) arrived next, delicately braised barbecue pork with a sweet rich glaze served with soft, warm buns. The Braised Pork with Special Sauce (P 350/person) came next, another round of pure pork bliss. And lastly, Sauteed Scallops and Prawns with Chicken and Assorted Mushrooms Served in Pumpkin (P 680/small) rounded up the epic feast at Crystal Jade Dining IN. We were also served a Chilled Avocado Pudding and Pomelo (P 180/portion), topped with fresh mango cream and pomelo, which was another winner and another must try (unfortunately, my camera battery sputtered out, but trust me, it's seriously good)
