Crystal Jade Palace Restaurant

Our food escapade continues to its next destination: Crystal Jade Palace Restaurant for a hearty & healthy dim sum. Some fast facts:
  • Located at the far & top-most end of Grand Indonesia East Mall, right above Paulaner Brauhaus.
  • NO credit card promotion as of the day of our last visit (31 August 2011)
  • Private rooms available (not sure if there's minimum spending required, feel free to enquire the helpful staff)
  • Regularly voted as Indonesia's Best Restaurants by Indonesia Tatler since 2009
Upon entering the labyrinthine restaurant, the most striking feature of this place is the elaborate attention to the interior design. Caution, you might get lost inside if unguided, or are very bad with bearings LOL. My descriptions simply won't do this place any justice, so I shall just let the photos do the talking:

Food wise, here are some of the items we ordered:
Clockwise from top left: Cong Fun with Kerapu Fish Fillet; Fried Herring Fish; Prawn Ha Kao; Fried Radish Cake
Prawn Siomay
Lor Ma Kai
And, nothing like wrapping up a hearty meal with dessert! Simply delish...
Fried Glutinous Ball With Green Tea-Walnut Paste Filling

Gui Lin Gao Jelly served with Honey (served cold)
and
Cream of Almond with Black Sesame Mochi (served hot)
Cream of Mango and Pomelo Bits (served cold)
The highlight of my meal was the mochi ball floating in the Cream of Almond Soup! When my teeth sank through its chewy layer, the black sesame paste came oozing out. It tasted really great, I reckon they roasted the black sesame before making it into paste. Caution: highly ADDICTIVE!

Apologize for the lack of price information, I lost the receipt...But for certain this costs a (well-spent) fortune =) So, overall the dim sum at Crystal Jade Palace Restaurant earns 3.5 out of 5, way to go!

    Hati-hati kalau pesan lobster. Tadi siang(3/2) saya makan disana dan karena lagi ingin makan Lobster saya pesan Lobster superior ala Crystal Jade. Saat pesan kami menanyakan harganya dan kata captain per ons harganya 170 ribu. Kami minta yang tidak terlalu besar dan menurut Captain yang paling kecil adalah 1,2.
    Ternyata pas bayar saya dicharge sbb: 1,2 kg x Rp170,000. coba aja dihitung berapa.
    Jadi orang yang take order kami kurang memberikan penjelasan yang benar. Kalau saya tahu dari awal bahwa ukuran lobster paling kecil 1,2 kg, pasti kami tidak akan pesan.
    Seharusnya yang terima order memberikan keterangan yang jelas mengenai harga dan ukuran.
    Biasanya kalau makan steak Lobster di Angus paling mahal 500 ribu per porsi. Terus terang saya kapok makan di Crystal Jade.

    Makanannya enak, tapi hati2 dengan pelayannya yang tidak memberikan penjelasan mengenai harga dan quantity dengan jelas. Tgl 19 agustus 2012 saya makan malam bersama keluarga di Crystal jade PS. Saat semua sedang asik2 memilih pesanan, Tiba2 entah dari mana keluar rekomendasi satu menu ikan. Memang kita ingin ikan dalam salah satu menu. Tapi Tanpa Ba bi bu pelayannya memasukan menu ikan kerapu yang satu porsinya Rp1.000.000. Padahal tidak ada diantara kami menspecify mau ikan apa dan sebanyak apa. Ikan kerapunya sih wajar dihargai sejuta, tapi kalau dijelaskan harga dan ukurannya yang besar kita jadi bisa menyusun menu dengan lebih baik.
