Crystal Jade restaurants are headed to Myanmar after a franchise agreement signed between Singapore Myanmar Investco (SMI) and Crystal Jade Management Vietnam.

Crystal Jade Group has more than 100 outlets in 20 cities in the Asia Pacific region and the US.

Under the terms of the agreement, SMI will have the exclusive right to develop, manage and run the Crystal Jade Kitchen, Crystal Jade Palace Restaurant and Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao restaurants in Myanmar for 10 years, with the option to extend for a further 10 years.
