[EVENT] DISCOVER NEW SHOPPING DESTINATION AT PALAIS RENAISSANCE

Located at the premium shopping district of Orchard Road, Palais Renaissance has established itself as an exclusive shopping destination providing intimate respite amidst the hustle and bustle of the city. With 32 shops and a retail space of about 50,000 square feet, Palais Renaissance is a treasure trove for the local as well as expatriate community. Palais Renaissance is owned and managed by leading property developer - City Developments Limited.


I'm pretty sure it's not just me who have walked pass Palais Renaissance countless time but have never been inside before. If this is the first time you've heard about Palais Renaissance, you should also check out my previous post for the 10 little known facts about Palais Renaissance. A small group of bloggers were invited to discover more about Palais Renaissance by a short tour of 4 of the shops inside. Thanks Jessie for extending her invite. Out of the 4 shops, I'm only able to visit 3 of them, skipping the fashion session due to work.

DeFRED Jewellers 
(#01-02)

Established since 1984, DeFRED is a brand name synonymous with precious pieces of fine jewellery. DeFRED caters personalized and educational service, customized designs and impeccable quality.


The Fall/Winter selection focuses on its gentle and graceful elements, sparking off the Autumn and Winter vibe with the fancy intense colourless diamonds. We were told that the whole boutique was designed by the owner himself. I love the designs of the jewelleries as well as how they are being showcased. Price tags are stated clearly at a glance and not hidden behind or underneath.

We ended off with a jewellery care and cleaning tips from the expert that everyone can try at home.

Jing Hua Xiao Chi
#B1-04/05
Tel: 6733 8231
Operating Hours:  11.30am to 3.30pm (Lunch) 5.30pm to 10pm (Dinner)

Jing Hua was founded in 1989 by Mr and Mrs Han who are both Singaporean. Now in their 70s, the couple recalls Jing Hua as one of the first occupants of the shophouses along Singapore's Neil Road that were refurbished in the late 1980s. This branch at Palais Renaissance is actually their third branch in Singapore. They have also set up international branches in Japan and Italy.


The appetizer to begin with.


Zha Jiang Noodle

The Han family's special minced pork & soya bean sauce with fresh sprouts and cucumbers over light yet thick noodles. I felt that the sauce does not suit my taste-bud. However, the noodle is quite special.


Soup and Fried Spring Roll 

The soup is appetizing and the fried spring roll is delicious.


Vegetables 

Vegetables will never go wrong.


Little Juicy Steamed Pork Dumpling

This dish is their signature dish. Better known as Xiao Long Bao, this soup dumplings with a lightly flavoured pork broth. For me, I would prefer a more flavourful broth.


Boiled Dumpling

This is more to my preference as it's more tasty.


Pan-fried Mixed Seafood & Pork Dumpling

Served straight out the pan, it's crispy hot on the bottom and juice on the top. This dumpling leaves a deep impression for it's one-of-a-kind unique open-ended appearance.


Crispy Red Bean Pancake

This is a perfect sweet dish to end the meal. I love the smooth and sweet red bean filling that is covered with a thin mochi-like layer beneath the hot and crispy exterior.


It was definitely an enjoyable evening spent together with my friends. I will definitely go back to Palaris Renaissance to try out other dining places as well as to shop. Thank you.

XOXO

[PRESS RELEASE] 10 LITTLE KNOWN FACTS ABOUT PALAIS RENAISSANCE


Since establishment, Palais Renaissance seems to have made a name for itself as an exclusive shopping destination that may only be suitable for the trendsetters and well-heeled. Beyond this facade, however, the mall offers a varied mix of food and beverage options, as well promotions that cater to all types of shoppers. 

Apart from deluxe lifestyle offerings, selected shops at Palais Renaissance have also gone above and beyond to provide not only quality products but a unique shopping experience that can be found only at Palais.

Although located in the modern Orchard area, Jing Hua Xiao Chi at Palais Renaissance has preserved its traditional heritage, retaining traditional elements like the bold red and bright emerald colour palette, chinese couplets stencilled on mirrors, and the 'Qun Zhong' dragon mosaic motif; all of which are presented through a modern perspective. 

6. Careful Attention in a Fast-Paced World

In this fast-paced world, many details are often overlooked, but not at Mouawad, a world leader in crafting magnificent jewels and intricate timepieces. Mouawad has established its own Diamond Cutting Factory to ensure that all diamonds are thoroughly cared for at every manufacturing step, and it is this devotion to detail that gives rise to the one-of-a-kind jewel-studded works of art that Mouawad is renowned for.

At fashion label Maria Grachvogel, one can wear a piece of art with the label's famed digital ' Artwork Print'. With each individual garment's design hand painted by Maria to ensure a sculpted silhouette, before being cut and made individually, each garment created is essentially a wearable piece of art.
