  "account": "Crystal Jade, a prominent Chinese restaurant chain in Singapore, announced the closure of its third outlet this year on September 1. The premises, which were previously located at The Great World mall, were subsequently reclaimed by the mall's operator, GWC Commercial. This decision is part of the company's ongoing review of its operations and outlet network, as it strives to align with changing market conditions and long-term business priorities, as stated in a Saturday statement cited by The Straits Times.\n\nFounded in 1991, Crystal Jade has evolved into one of Singapore's leading Chinese restaurant groups, offering a diverse portfolio of dining concepts across six brands in the city-state. These brands encompass Cantonese fine dining, casual noodle, dim sum, and various Chinese cuisine offerings. The Crystal Jade Golden Palace store at The Paragon mall held a Michelin star from 2016 to 2018, but lost the prestigious award in the 2019 guide. The recent closure of the Great World outlet marks the third shutdown for the chain in Singapore this year, following the closure of its Hillion Mall and Suntec City stores earlier this year, according to Channel News Asia.\n\nCurrently, Crystal Jade operates 15 outlets across its various brands in Singapore, continuing to serve the local market with its diverse range of Chinese culinary offerings.",
