We had a Chap Goh Mei dinner at the new Canton Paradise Restaurant. It serves a different branch of Cantonese’s Cuisine which is Shunde. As it is the last day of Chinese New Year, we ordered Yu Shang. The medley of colourful shredded vegetables and ingredients gives it a cheerful start to the dinner. We toss the vegetables high with each Auspicious phrases to wish each other for the year. The final result is the right balance of different taste of sweetness and tangy taste.They serve 3 daily so

They serve 3 daily soups from the soup sections of the menu. We love the double-boiled soup which is clear and its nourishing property.
We finally get to taste the Steam Lingzhi tofu which was recommended in the previous newspaper review. I find this dish bland compared to all the other sharp taste dishes we order. The grey colour tofu look dull but cannot fault the smooth like silk tofu.
The Char Sui is a different version which is BBQ Pork with Honey. It is closer to the Malaysian style black char sui except that is uses Belly Pork. Surprisely it is very tasty with the honey coating and does not feel fattening. I highly recommended this dish.Below is the 2 items we tried when the Restaurant first open. We were there for dinner on the 2nd day of their opening around 8.30pm and most of their recommended dishes were sold out. Luckily this time we managed to try it.
The wok-fried mustard green with cube of duck. It goes well with rice or porridge as the chopped mustard green has a crunchy texture.
The custard glutinous rice ball with grated oats was different from the usual rice ball served with grated peanut. It was served warm with the liquid custard oozing out when you bite into it.I gave a lower score for Service as they make 2 mistakes on my order but corrected it without any fuss. The 1st mistake was that I ordered the big pot of soup to be shared but they brought 2 individual bowls of soup. Another was that we ordered the BBQ Pork but they serve us roast duck. At least the bill was correct.
