History
Founded in 1991, the first Crystal Jade restaurant operated at the now defunct Cairnhill Hotel. From a single restaurant founded over 25 years ago on culinary expertise and a commitment to quality, MICHELIN one star and multiple MICHELIN Bib Gourmand awarded Crystal Jade has since grown and has been spreading the meaning of Chinese food and culture through its specialty dining concepts ranging from fine dining restaurants, casual dining restaurants to specialty bakeries.
The group serves up a diverse menu of well-loved items such as Lanzhou La Mian and Shanghai favourites, such as Xiao Long Bao, Cantonese barbecue meats, noodles and congee, Hong Kong dim sum, as well as quality pastries and bread.
Founded on the core principles of Chinese cuisine whilst drawing influence from modern gastronomy, Crystal Jade provides only the most wholesome food – food that nourishes, food that inspires and food that helps restore your soul and nurture your relationships.
Today – and for many more generations to come.
