The Chinese restaurant Sea Palace in Amsterdam, awarded a Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2024, is launching a strategic partnership with the digital marketplace platform Crisp, allowing consumers to order local specialties directly from home. The partnership provides access to the classic dim sum range prepared by Sea Palace chefs, extending the distribution of traditional plates beyond the iconic building located on the canal in central Amsterdam.

The restaurant's distinctive landmark, an imposing floating palace visible from Amsterdam Centraal Station, remains the preferred destination for traditional gastronomic experiences, but delivery access is expanding for customers outside the immediate vicinity. [1]
The establishment was founded in 1984 by the owner family and is today run by Kaji But, son of the founders, who continues the culinary traditions established by his parents. Kwai Tai, Kaji But's mother and co-founder of the business, still works behind the scenes at the age of 72, symbolizing the family dedication that led to international recognition of the restaurant through a prestigious Michelin mention in 2024.

The official Instagram post from @seapalace announces the availability of the menu, highlighting the location's visual symbol, a floating vessel reminiscent of palace-like buildings in Southeast Asia. Dim sum remains the highlight of the repertoire, reflecting the restaurant's specialization in authentic Cantonese cuisine, known for its diversity of steamed dishes. The concept of 'yum cha', translated as the ritual of drinking tea together while sharing small plates, is championed by owner Kaji But, who describes this cultural practice as an unbridled way of focusing on community. The term 'dim sum' literally means 'touching the heart', and the warm atmosphere offered by the restaurant in Amsterdam has become a memorable place for many locals, which the Crisp platform intends to bring into customers' homes. The synergy between both brands enables home delivery of fine dishes, eliminating the need to travel to the central neighborhood to taste the house's signature products. The available commercial package includes bao buns as well as three varieties of dumplings filled with pork, chicken, fish, and vegetables; purchasing the set completes the experience with a specialized steamer basket, jasmine tea, and the restaurant's own beer. This constitutes Crisp's third major project, following previous collaborations with the Italian restaurant Toscanini, the bakery Fort Negen, and the chef teams from Oos Kesbeke and Tobias Camman for appetizer products. Additional detailed information is available by subscribing to the digital newsletters of the LINDA platform, but the temporary offer remains strictly focused on product launches. [1]
