Crystal Jade Pavilion

Pitched between Crystal Jade Group’s fine-dining “palace” concepts and the more casual “kitchens” is Crystal Jade Pavilion, offering sweeping views of the harbourfront in a light-filled dining room. The restaurant focuses on Cantonese delicacies from the south of the Yangtze River with contemporary touches. Its repertoire spans the full gamut of Cantonese classics, from delicate steamed dim sum and roasts to wok-fried specialities, with seafood taking centre stage. Start your meal with the savoury fresh lily bulb with cordyceps flowers, whose name belies the flavour explosion in the mouth. For an elevated take on Peking Duck, the restaurant’s version features pan-seared foie gras alongside the crispy skin, adding textural contrast. The double-boiled fish maw soup is given a refreshing lift with coconut water, while Scottish razor clams with vermicelli are always a crowd pleaser. Round off the meal with braised ee-fu noodles in truffle sauce—a blend of Cantonese tradition and contemporary flair.
