“This is a convenient option for guests who don’t want to fight traffic before heading home, or those who live close by and want to pick up dinner for the family without having to cook after a long day,” says Jade Dynasty owner Sylvia Ho.

The six-course lineup features a mouthwatering arrangement of appetizers.

A delicious place to start is the Ham Har Chicken Wing, which was served primarily at lunch prior to the introduction of this menu. The wings are marinated overnight in a fermented shrimp paste to offer an enhanced layer of flavor before being fried to crispy golden-brown perfection.

Guests also receive Honey Garlic Ribs that are marinated in a housemade sauce infused with multiple varieties of vinegar and coupled with invigorating honey notes.
