My Food Trail

Ended our meal with the classic Italian dessert - Tiramisu ($10++)! It appears that rheir rendition of this mascarpone cheese cake had an infusion of sea salt which was intriguing to me 🤣 I would have preferred it with a stronger touch of coffee ☕️ as it was faint, and addition of booze as there was probably none? Haha personal preference! 😉

They do serve some awesome pastas here as well! I enjoyed their Fettuccine Salsiccia E Tartufo ($26++) 🍝, featuring homemade pasta with Italian sausage & truffles 🍄. Super rich & creamy; I really liked the al dente texture of the fettuccine! 🤤

As a bread lover, I enjoyed their Sicilian Boat (shaped like a 🛶 indeed)! Had their Barca SiciIiana Con Bufala E Prosciutto ($26++) & really liked the balance of flavours of this pizza boat! 😋 Earthinesss of the soft chewy dough paired with the natural sweetness of tomato 🍅, creamy buffalo mozzarella 🧀 & savoury parma ham 🍖, this was a hit for me. ✔️

We just had to try their signature oven-baked white pizza - Pizza Bella Pizza ($26++)! Featuring mozzarella 🧀, ricotta, salami 🍖 & sautéed spinach 🥬, in nicely-charred crust, this is a classic!

End off your meal on a sweet note at Crystal Jade Palace with this 🆕️ Chilled Beancurd with Ginger Osmanthus Syrup ($8.80++)! 😍
.
Really enjoyed the silky-smooth homemade soymilk beancurd 🤍! It is topped with grated ginger for some slight spice 🔥 but if you are not a fan of ginger like me, you can easily remove it 🤭. Drizzle some of the molasses-like syrup tinged with the slight heat of ginger & floral fragrance of osmanthus flower 🌼.
.
Served with a bed of ice 🧊, the dessert is kept chilled - definitely a treat!

Sandwiched between 2 huge crispy chicken chops 🐔 slathered with 4Fingers’ signature hand-brushed soy garlic or hot sauce is cheddar cheese 🧀, creamy egg mayo 🥚, tangy kimslaw 🇰🇷 (kimchi coleslaw), lettuce 🥬, tomato 🍅 & fluffy burger bun! What monstrosity is this! But I can guarantee you that this is really indulgent! 💯
.
Their Megasaurus Combo (comes with a side 🍟 & a drink 🥤) is going at $12.95. I shared it with my mum & it filled both of us up so I think it is pretty good value!

For carb lovers, their 雪菜肉丝米粉 Rice Vermicelli stir-fried with preserved vegetables & duck meat 🦆 makes the perfect comfort food! It is rather light-tasting & isn't oily so you can always go for more! 🤤

I love my greens 💚 so their 海味什菜煲 Claypot Mixed Vegetables with dried scallops, dried shrimps 🦐 & mushrooms 🍄 was good for me! Quite light-tasting and healthy dish, will be perfect with rice.

If you are fan of seafood, go for their 凉瓜豆鼓焖龙虎癍 Sea Grouper ($10/100g) 🐟 braised with bittergourd & black beans! The fish was fresh with a soft texture. Pretty nice, even though I wished the flavours can be stronger as it is not as flavourful/salty as I thought it would be.

Another of my favourite was their 鲨鱼骨炖花胶汤 Double-boiled Fish Maw and Shark Cartilage Soup ($40) 🥣! Super rich & creamy without feeling heavy, this soup boasting of essence in every drop really warms the belly & the heart! ✨️

The highlight was their signature 北京鸭 Peking Duck ($78; to pre-order) 🦆 which was brilliantly executed! ❤️ The crisp of the thin duck skin with some juicy fats beneath, sweet-savoury sauce 🤎, soft steamed pancake, julienned cucumber & spring onion, everything just blended harmoniously. What a treat! 😋

We started the meal with the appetising 凉拌红海蜇头 Marinated Cold Jellyfish Head with Shallot Oil ($16) ❄️, where I enjoyed the crunch & tangy notes, paired with cucumbers 🥒. Very refreshing, though I would say that it is quite expensive.
