Known for serving quality Cantonese comfort food like congee, roast meat and dim sum at pocket-friendly prices, Crystal Jade Hong Kong Kitchen is one of the places that immediately comes to mind when searching for a casual meal. The establishment underwent a revamp last year, revealing a new interior and an updated menu. Popular selections from the dim sum menu include black and white har kao boasting succulent prawns encased within soft and chewy skin; baked crispy honey barbecued pork buns; and truffle siew mai, consisting of minced pork, shiitake mushrooms and truffle paté and oil.

A must-try is the signature pork belly from the roasted meats menu—the meat, marinated with the restaurant’s proprietary barbecue sauce is both tender and flavoursome. Other equally tempting offerings from the main menu include soy sauce chicken with osmanthus; fried brown rice with black bean dace fish and egg whites; sweet and spicy minced meat noodles with prawn; and premium seafood congee with Japanese seaweed.

End off on a sweet note with deep-fried sesame ball with lava salted egg yolk, offering a delightful mochi-like texture.
