Crystal Jade Golden Palace Description:
Enter this lofty split-level restaurant, tucked away on the fifth floor of the swanky Paragon Shopping Mall, through a dimly lit catwalk, past the private rooms and a well-stocked wine cellar. The interior of the dining hall is elegant with gray-colored, textured walls, a timber ceiling and towering wooden columns. The cuisine here is undisputedly Teochew, originating from Chaoshan in China, though Cantonese offerings are available too. Start with the crispy suckling pig, its skin sliced paper thin and served with Chinese-style pancakes while the remainder is chopped and fried to specifications. From the extensive shark's fin menu, "braised superior" is a consommé-style dish with a sprinkling of bean sprouts, while the golden-hued "braised shark's fin" comes with crab roe. From the poultry menu, we recommend the braised Japanese sea cucumber with goose web, though it is not for the faint-hearted. Meat lovers will also enjoy the crispy chicken with mango and goose liver as well as the generous portion of fork-tender stewed beef short rib. Next, try the braised seasonal vegetables served adrift a fragrant pool of savory stock laced with Chinese ham. Crystal Jade Golden Palace has an impressive array of labels from major wine regions. French wines dominate the menu but new-world wines are available as well. While not entirely exciting, the desserts here are reliably good, perhaps a taro paste or almond cream?
