Early last week Food POI was invited by a marketing communications company Arcis Communications Sdn Bhd for an exclusive blogger food tasting session. We were invited to dine at Crystal Jade Restaurant at The Gardens, Mid Valley City. I would like to thank Ms. I-Mae from Arcis Comm and Ms Stella To [Special Assistant to the Managing Director of Crystal Jade Concept Holdings]. Myself, Cindy and Silvester attend for this session. Basically Crystal Jade is a Singaporean based company which started back in 1991 and since then have been growing till today as one of the leading F&B company.
This is my first time dining at this restaurant. Before this, I visited their fine dining restaurant Crystal Jade Palace located at Takashimaya, Orchard Road in Singapore. That’s the best Chinese restaurant I had in Singapore. Back here, I am getting the same level of service and quality for their food especially their sharks fin soup.
The front entry of the restaurant didn’t give much impressive view of the overall restaurant. We need to walk through a small hall and then only you can see the whole restaurant. It is something like a treasure hunt concept where you walk into the cave and then the treasure is inside.
We were greeted with miniature Terracotta warriors which guarding the dining hall.
The whole restaurant design for this outlet is designed by a Taiwanese designer. They have different country designers for different outlet. It depends on the concept of that particular outlet determine how to design it.
This is actually the main hall with an open kitchen concept where you can see the kitchen from your dining table.
