Jade Palace Seafood Restaurant

Jade Palace Seafood Restaurant is a Cantonese restaurant in the basement of Forum The Shopping Mall on Orchard Road. Since 1998 it has been known for live seafood, claypot rice, roast meats and dim sum. The restaurant seats about 150 people and has six private dining rooms.

The Michelin Guide Singapore lists Jade Palace in its 2026 edition. Its inspectors note a strong Hong Kong feel in the room and on the menu. They also say seafood and vegetables arrive from Hong Kong twice a week. The restaurant also holds one Diamond in the Black Pearl Restaurant Guide for 2025-2026.

What to order

The Michelin Guide picks out two dishes. One is sautéed white eel with chives in black bean sauce. The other is braised lobster with ginger and scallion in a claypot. Both are praised for strong wok hei, the smoky taste of food cooked in a very hot wok.

You can choose how your live seafood is cooked, and staff will suggest a style if you are unsure. Chef's recommendations on the menu include:

• Steamed Crab Roe Xiao Long Bao
• Home Made Shark's Bone Soup with Chicken and Fish Maw
• Crispy You Tiao Stuffed with Mashed Prawns in Salted Egg Yolk Sauce
• Braised Australian Lobster and Noodle with Ginger and Spring Onion
• Baked Kagoshima Kurobuta Pork

Dim sum is served at lunch. For groups, there are set menus for four, six and ten people, plus a Peking duck set menu.

The wine list

Wine is what the restaurant says sets it apart. Its cellar holds more than 3,000 bottles from around the world, and the list is updated often. Jade Palace won awards at The Peak Selections, including Best Wine List (Asian), four years in a row from 2010.

You may bring your own bottle for a corkage fee. The fee is waived for each bottle you buy from the restaurant's list, so ask staff for details when you book.
