Unveiling Exquisite Additions to the Crystal Jade Menu at One Galle Face!.

Written by Shamrina C

We were taken aback by this stunning restaurant, a global chain, a distinguished establishment with a rich accolade history. 

Boasting a prestigious Michelin Star in the Singapore Michelin Guide (2016-2018) and a coveted Bib Gourmand in Shanghai (2017) and Hong Kong & Macau (2005-2016), this restaurant has left an indelible mark on the gastronomic scene. Recognised as a Recommended Chinese Restaurant in Seoul and Shanghai Michelin Guide (2017-2018), Hong Kong Cuisine continues to captivate discerning palates. 

Crystal Jade-Sri Lanka, provides a 5-star ala-carte and an exclusive dining experience with privacy. The interior captures the essence of elite Asian culinary experiences, surrounded by warm and comfortable lighting. The individual and private dining capsules could be significant service characteristics that might entice you to try out Crystal Jade.

In this review, we delve into their renowned Michelin-starred offerings and explore the latest additions to their menu, providing a comprehensive taste of both regular items and the new delicacies.

What’s new on their menu?

Appetizers:

Crispy Charcoal Beancurd Cube

Serving this dish hot is essential for the best experience. The distinctive charcoal-infused texture perfectly complements the Beancurd, resulting in a delightful contrast of a soft, crispy exterior and a tender interior. While the cube may be perceived as somewhat bland, it might simply not align with everyone’s palate preferences.

Price: LKR 1,250

Deep-Fried Mango Roll with Prawn

Every bite we took of this exceptional roll, brought out a delightful array of surprising flavours. The roll itself boasts a perfect blend of crispiness and heat, enveloped in a flavourful batter. Inside, you’ll find subtly grilled prawns, a velvety sauce harmoniously mixed with freshly cut mango pieces. Undoubtedly, this appetizer became a favourite, leaving us yearning for additional servings.

Price: LKR 1,500

Roasted Duck with Crispy Rice in Chef’s Special Sauce

The Crispy Rice complements impeccably with a balanced saltiness for the meat. Unveiling a tender, BBQ-infused juiciness, each piece of Roasted Duck boasts a delightful crisp-roast flavor, creating the perfect lasting savoury impression for meat lovers. 

Price: LKR 8,000

Mains:

Crab with Spinach & Corn Thick Soup

As a sweet corn soup addict, the crab added a new delightful taste to our palate. Smooth, creamy and flavourful. The perfect Asian appetizer experience. 

Price: LKR 2,600

Claypot Rice with Chinese Sausage, Mushroom & Chicken

For those craving a simple main dish, indulge in our Chinese-style clay pot rice. Deep-fried sausage, mushrooms, and chicken are expertly sautéed in a soy sauce mixture. Mix and match with other mains to cater to your taste.

Price: LKR 3,200

Wok-fried Seafood Hor Fun with Black Bean Gravy

A new experience of trying out handmade Chinese-style pasta—fresh, hot, creamy, and saucy, with just the right spice, blending pretty well with subtle Asian flavors. The unique addition of black kidney beans is a bonus to this delicious asta experience.

Price: LKR 2,900

Desserts:

Coconut Milk Pudding

Absolutely delectable! This dessert is delightfully soft, wobbly, and intensely coconutty. If you appreciate the essence of tropical coconut flavour, this is a must-try. The desiccated coconut adds an extra touch of razzle and dazzle.

Price: LKR 1,200

Chilled Mango Puree with Sago

Irresistible! This dessert is both cooling and addictive. Fresh mango blended with sago creates a simple yet sophisticated treat, satisfying the perfect Asian sweet tooth. Highly recommended for a delightful indulgence.

Price: LKR 1,200

Regulars

Appetizers:

Deep-Fried Chicken & Dried Shrimp Dumpling (Xian Shui Jiao)

In terms of visual appeal, this appetizer delivered a cute and petite outlook, a roll curated in the form of a carrot. On the contrary, the contents of the stuffing did not fit quite well with our palate. This could be the blend of the dumpling dough along with the content. Except for that comment, you could give this dumpling a try.

Price: LKR 1,550

Steamed BBQ Pork Bun (Chao Shao Bao)

If you’re open to a sweet and spicy mix, the bao bun is perfect. We recommend you to try this delightful blend of decadent BBQ pork meat, catering to your palate even if you weren’t initially a fan.

Price: LKR 1,550

Steamed Pork Dumpling (Xiao Long Bao)

If you love dumplings and meat, don’t forget to try this appetizer! The texture of the dumplings are exquisitely steamed and delivers a reasonable portion, satisfying your cravings for more with each delightful bite.

Price: LKR 1,400

Crisp-fried Prawn with Mayonnaise

A top favourite for seafood lovers! Treat yourself to a generous portion of prawn appetizer—crisp exterior, grilled tenderness within, and overall creaminess complemented by in-house prepared mayonnaise. 

Price: LKR 2,900

Mains:

Stir-Fry Guilin Style Pork

A curry dish that you can accompany with rice or noodles. There is nothing extraordinary in this delicacy as such, but you can enjoy a deliciously cooked pork as suited to your taste buds. 

Price: LKR 2,800

Plain Egg Noodle (Dry)

Delicious while eating plain or you can mix your choice of curries from the mains. 

Price: LKR 1,600
