Crsytal Jade Golden Palace

Sometimes we just get really amazed how individuals can click and have so much to share even if it's just seeing and knowing the person for just a while.
And that was what Vel, Brad and I talked and agreed on when we three decided to go for a lunch date together one afternoon last week at Paragon.
It's a pity qiuting couldn't join cuz i'm sure it will be even more fun with her around!

I wore a semi corporate dress from flymetoparis, and i always have a thing for similar looking tops like that – the button area on the shoulder design,
but this time, they incorporated into a dress which gives us more reason to get it cuz it's readily matched and good to go!
Loving the colour, fit and cut for this dress, and i received compliments about this dress too!

Brad (i suppose you know who he is -  ladyironchef) and i are great fans of dimsum and are constantly on the lookout for new places to try.
We finally made some time out to arrange for a dimsum luncheon at a place we have both longed to try – Crystal Jade Golden Palace @ Paragon Level 5.

You couldn't see much of the restaurant from the entrance but I bet you will be blown off just like us when you enter inside.
This has gotta be one of the nicest and coziest ambiences I have ever experience,
and everything inside the restaurant is fine and exquisite looking.


The restaurant.


my dimsum khakis! Vel dear and brad (check out that camera!! spell workaholic)

And here comes the food.

egg tarts


deep fried prawn rolls with stuffed mango


custurd buns


har gao- steamed prawn dumplings


chicken feet


baked pork pastries

We were pretty food after ordering the above to share between us three,
and prices were on par as the other restaurants (eg. taste paradise, royal china),
cost us about S$44 after GST for the above.

But for taste wise, i still prefer taste paradise/royal china though i'm not sure if i should discount the fact that we were busy taking photos when the food came,
and it turned cold by the time we ate it! heh
For my favourite dishes which i'm particular like the custurd buns, prawn dumplings and pork pastries,
i would still think these two restaurants do it slightly better.

We three are looking out for the next dimsum place to try out,
and if you do have any that you are not sure if its good, but heard before and hope to get some reviews,
drop me a comment/email at and let me know!! We will try them for you first and make some recommendations! ;D

Here are some outfits of the week to share and you might like them..


A structured skirt from Dandzelia which goes well with just a basic top.
i like the structured-ness of the skirt which actually helps on giving the flare shape design and quality is good too. ;)


Another versatile piece from dandzelia, and the ruffles, pleats, and draw strings make the top pretty unique,
and it can be either glam up or casual in this comfortable material.


To those who are worrying about what to wear for upcoming dinners and functions, fret not ;)
This dainty dress from flymetoparis in one of the loveliest colours ever might be a perfect one.
Comes with the removable satin sash and the details at one of the shoulders definitely make it a special piece.

Hope you enjoyed the outfits of the week!

    Hi Beatrice,

    I really enjoy looking at your blog posts! I have seen you’ve been wearing this pair of black flats with golden buckle(pardon me if I am wrong, not sure what the golden thingy is) lately. I guess it must be comfortable as you have been wearing it in many of your photos. May I ask where did you buy it and the brand of it? I am dying to look for a comfortable pumps!!!
    Thanks a lot!!

    Melissa

    Hey beatrice, u sld try the dimsum at jade restaurant at fullerton. Its a weekend dimsum at 38 nett after gst. 54 items to choose from. It tastes very good and they cook while you order so the dimsum are hot. However, it requires more time to prepare but the service is very good. I tasted the one at taste paradise and find that jade is better. You should give it a try and share your reviews with your blog fans. :) ) cheers n have a good day babe

    hey beatrice! this is pretty out of the blue, but of all the thai eateries that you’ve visited in singapore, which few would you say were the best and most affordable? love the effort you put into doing weekbits by the way! (:
