Just returned from dinner at Jade Palace in celebration of Father's Day. My father had 2 main criteria for the night: good Chinese food and no corkage charge. Thank goodness for HGW (so yes yes all of you are so crever) - spurred on by the positive reviews I was happy to find out that they did not charge corkage so proceeded to make a booking for this evening.

We had the lobster & seafood set menu ($55/pax) which included:

- Roasted duck and jelly fish combination - the duck was very good

- Shark's fin soup w/ seafood - no complaints here - although we've had better

- Sauteed scallop & honshimeji mushroom w/ shrimps egg sauce - excellent wok hei going here - mushrooms were lovely

- Crispy sea bass fillet w/ garlic & pepper - a real winner, this one - the batter was very tasty and crispy, and the fish tender and fresh

- Stewed lobster & noodle w/ ginger & spring onion - very good, comparable to Peach Garden's version

- Dessert of the day - here you get to choose from an array. We had the ice cream with black glutious rice and mango sago w/ pomelo. All good.

To be honest I'd never heard of Jade Palace before running the search on HGW but the place was packed (and I hear this is on any given weekend - not just because of Father's Day). An excellent find, and I look forward to trying their claypot rice next which had a section dedicated to it on Jade Palace's menus (noticed that many had ordered it and also highlighted as a must try in HGW reviews).
