Crystal Jade Golden Palace

This was our second time at Crystal Jade. This time we sat at the bar because we didnt make a reservation but the staff here as usual were super friendly and nice they always make me feel welcome. The bar area was actually quite comfortable. I ordered a few things such as the duck egg fish skin, soup dumplings, custard buns, pork belly and foie gras. However, minutes after there was some kind of alarm and apparently one area of the kitchen had water sprinkler going off and it was the area that made the pork belly and foie gras so were not able to get our dishes. The fish skin was delicious it was light and not too heavy with the egg yolk. The soup dumplings unfortunately all explored and we lost the broth in the dumpling. The custard buns were great!

Dim Sum Lunch
Best was the service from Ms Goh Chai Hong who helped me with a bag all the way to the entrance as I was in crutches. So kind of her.
Ms Goh also offered my Friend and I shawls if we felt cold.
White bait — lovely; light and crispy and not oily — very good.
Teochew crystal skin dumplings with chives — good but I don’t like the taste of chives, can be a little green.
Meatballs — not bad although I am not into meatballs
Pomfret fillet porridge — good
Dried Chilli shrimps on rice rolls — very nice
XO sauce carrot cake with egg and bean sprouts — good

Unnecessarily cold: Four stars for food but the temperature of the restaurant make it virtually unsuitable for children and most adults (we brought a three-​month old and a toddler). I asked two staff members to see if they could raise the temp but one said it wasn’t possible and the other said «oh we just got the air con serviced so it’s much colder now… I can’t adjust it». I’ll assume he’s speaking factually and CJ should assume I am too when I say we won’t be back.

I remember coming here with my cousin, the food was really and the service was good as well. I would recommend coming here if you visit Singapore!

It has been a few years since I revisited this place, and I was glad I did. The dimsum still maintained their usual standard, and I just generally find their décor very tasteful, and it is a great place to catch up with friends. I can’t think of a single dish that stood out as being outstanding, but the general caliber of the dim sum is pretty damn good. I like the good service here as well, and that it’s not too loud compared to other dim sum joints.

very good chinese food. ridiculously expensive.
the bbq duck is excellent. our friends enjoyed their winter melon soup. cereal prawns are excellent. service was also quite attentive. the reason it doesn’t score higher is the price. maybe i’m used to prices in southern california or vancouver where you can also get world class chinese food

For a foreigner this was a great experience. Good authentic Chinese food. Didnt know what I was eating but all goiod.

It’s probably best if I didn’t tell you how often I was at this restaurant for Sunday dim sum brunch. Yeah, it’s pretty ridiculous.
I manage to con different friends to get my dim sum fix at this place week in and week out. Because their dim sum is just.that.damn.good.
What’s not to love about little pillows of shrimpy/​porky goodness???
There’s nothing happier to life than baskets of dumplings flowing towards your table to be consumed.
Each of this little morsels are crying out EAT ME.
So I do.
Shrimp dumplings, xiao long bao, teochew crystal dumplings, cute little jumbo shaped dumplings, XO fried carrot cake, shrimp rice rolls, beancurd rolls, etc. etc. You just can’t go wrong.
Ask for the (doubanjiang) for dipping and you’re good to go. Because everything tastes better with a little chili kick.
–1 star for service because they never seem to get it quite right.

Another one of my favorite Teochew restaurant, the other being East Ocean. Great service good food but n the pricier side

Mixed-​menu — this restaurant serves Cantonese and Teochew food.
I would recommend the Teochew goose, cold crab, bamboo clams and their daily soup.
The pig’s stomach soup is also excellent — I highly recommend that — the soup is peppery, and the texture of the stomach is done to a precise consistency — not too soft or tough and very palatable.
Great ambience and great food makes this a perfect place for family dinners. The service at this Paragon restaurant is also excellent, I couldn’t recommend it enough. The waiters are attentive and professional.
