Canton Paradise (Closed)

This restaurant serves Hong Kong cuisine such as dim sum, rice rolls, noodles, congee and etc. I like their BBQ Pork Belly with Honey Sauce ($16.80). Those who like fatty pork will definitely like this. I've ordered a few dim sum (crispy BBQ honey pork bun, steamed prawn dumplings "har Kao, steamed Shang Hai pork dumplings, steamed cheong-fun with honey BBQ pork filling, century egg and shredded pork congee). These are all OK, nothing very fantastic.I love the milk tea, which is in a bottle placed in a container filled with ice cube. the milk tea tastes superb as it will not be diluted by the ice.…Read More

Canton Paradise offers Hong Kong cuisine, ranging from DimSum, Wanton noodles, Congee to meat and vegetable dishes. Among all the usual common dishes in the menu, it is the Crispy BBQ Pork Buns which is actually the main reason why I like to frequent this place Headed to the branch at Jcube, the restaurant dining setting is very pleasant with comfortable cushion seats and spacious doing space.Ordered the Crispy BBQ Pork Buns ($4.80 for 3pcs), Seafood Hor Fun ($12.80), Fish Belly Congee and Taro with Chicken and Prawn Puff ($4.80 for 3pcs). The crispy buns were, in my opinion, comparable as those in Tim Ho Wan with its flaky crust and generous portion of Char Siew filling. The Taro puffs, on the other hand, were a total flop. When it was served, it was not hot but rather cold. It just failed to deliver the usual satisfaction which comes when one bites into a steaming hot puff. The filling was not flavourful with barely discernible amount of chicken and prawn meat inside. The Congee had a silky smooth texture but I think Crystal Jade has a better rendition of congee. The congee here tasted a tad too bland. The HorFun looked really appealing with its yellowish egg in the gravy. The noodles was slurpy smooth but gravy was not enough that some parts of the dish were dry. Some hits and misses but on the whole, food quality is average. Other dishes, except most of the DimSum items, are worth a try. But don't expect too much despite its slightly steep pricing. …Read More

Roast Duck NoodlesMango Prawn FrittersCarrot CakeCanton Paradise offers HK dishes as compared to the other restaurants in the Paradise group. We had a main dish and ordered a few fried dim sum as side dish. I didn't really like the mango prawn fritters as there was mayonnaise inside and I found it too overpowering. I like the roast duck noodles where the sauce and the duck meat was tender and complemented each other. It is a nice place to meet up and have a nice dinner. …Read More

I brought my family to Canton Paradise (CP) for dinner after my recent visit to this restaurant. CP is actually under the Paradise Group of restaurants and includes names like LÈ Restaurant & Bar, Paradise Dynasty and Kungfu Paradise. So it's like they have different restaurants serving different markets and groups of customers. For CP, they are trying to recreate the Hong Kong feel. Which i think. Hmm.. Back to the food. I recently visited Crystal Jade and comparing CP to Crystal Jade, I had to say I REALLY like the variety of side dishes that CP offers. They are more towards my taste buds, with har gao, custard buns, and some other fried stuffs. I like the wanton in chilli oil from my previous visit and ordered it again. The chilli oil helps to season the wanton and makes it very yummy. I also pair the chilli oil with other dishes for its flavour. I had say the custard buns were so-so, quite reasonably-tasting. The custard wasn't the oozing out kind but it was still nice with the fluffy bun. The har gao is steamed perfectly with its translucent skin and generous shrimp filling. I think the tofu with seafood paste is quite interesting. Since tofu by itself can be quite dull, though it is fried, it is soaked in the sauce and topped with seafood paste and this helps to add flavour and texture to the tofu. The xiao long baos is average-tasting. Not bad but also not the best i have tried.The horfun is quite nice since it came with egg. The texture is like really smooth and it is easy to chew. This time i steered clear of the fried rice and ordered the fried noodles. They were really generous with the meat, as you can see from the picture above.To end off the meal, I also ordered mango dessert, which would have been difficult to finish considering the amount of sides we ordered but it tastes so good that i finished every last drop. Its sweet and feels much like mango drink but with sago etc.Overall i had say if i am craving for more dim sum, i had go to CP cause of their variety of sides offered.…Read More

Baked bbq pork pastry $4.80 had a crust that was quite crumbly and the pork was juicy within but crust was a bit too thick. Prawn dumpling noodles $8.30 had juicy dumplings in it with springy noodles but noodles were a bit dry and stiff. Fried radish cake $3.90 were a bit mushy. The texture was quite soft and and sticky which was not to my liking. …Read More

Safood porridge $6.80. The porridge was very smooth and did not have a gooey texture. The seafood was also fresh and i really love the tiny fried dough fritters toppings on top which was fried till extremely crispy. Taro with chicken and prawn $4.80 was a little dry for me and the fillings inside resembled paste more. Crispy bbq polo bun $4.80 was a good try with its crumbly skin and juicy char siew fillings but tim ho wan's version is still nicer. …Read More

xiao long bao $4.80These buns were filled with piping hot broth and succulent meat fillings. However, I feel that Ding Tai Fung's version beats this still.tofu with seafood paste $4.80The tofu was soft and delicate but the seafood paste was mediocre.wanton with chilli oil $5.80I will order this again! The chilli oil appeared oily but did not feel oily in the mouth. It wasn't really spicy but was fragrant.chee cheong fun with scallop $5.80The chee cheong fun was smooth but scallop was very thinly sliced which wasn't well worth the price.…Read More

I am a fan of Chinese cuisine and I was keen to try out this restaurant. I went to the branch at JCube and in the afternoon. There weren’t much people so unless you are a fan of queuing, it’s best to head there in the afternoon. (I went once for dinner and I had to wait like 30 minutes or so.I ordered some dim sums (mini egg tart, dumplings) and main courses (fried rice and fried noodles). I find that the fried rice compared to the fried noodles were much tastier. Perhaps it is because the fried noodles just didn’t appeal to me as it was quite dry without much seasoning. The dim sums were much nicer.…Read More

Finally I get my hands on this Baked Honey Pork Bun after many times a miss and bought 6 buns in a go.The taste is just like Char Siew Bao but the difference between these two will be the skin. Here, the bun is sort of flaky and rough kind of texture, unlike the normal Char Siew Bao that is smooth. The bun has its bottom cooked a little longer to be seen like it is slightly burnt but it tastes good. A little crispy like biscuits which is love. So nice a combination. The fillings within are nice and you can really taste the pork meat in strips. And it is sweet. Worth the money.…Read More

It was very hard to find nice cantonese Beef Brisket Noodles nowadays.I chanced upon this Cantonese Restaurant at JCube that was frame for Cantonese Cuisine.I had ordered this Beef Brisket Noodles which caught my eyes in the menu.The apperance of the Beef Brisket Noodles looked very yummy with generous braised beef and vegetables.The beef brisket meat tasted well braised and heavy flavoured, meat was soft, fatty and tender and you can actually use your lips to bite off the meat. The noodles were typically cantonese type, crispy and springy, When eating with the beef brisket braised sauce, it was perfection.Overall, this Beef Brisket Noodles was much better in taste than Crystal Jade one, though the price was much higher.…Read More

Canton Paradise never fails for their affordable Chinese dishes, and of course the efficient service. I was told that I had to queue 45mins for a table of 4, so after getting my queue number, I waited outside and was looking through the menu and ticking what I want from the order form. To my surprise, just after 15mins, I got a table!! Ordered around 7 to 8 dishes but we were too hungry so here's some snapshots of what we ate and what I think is nice! The Xiao long bao ($4.80 per basket, 4 XLBs) were quite good, it came steaming hot! Make sure to eat it almost immediately for a nicer taste! Personally, I also like the Fried Beans with minced pork and olive ($11.80), the beans were crunchy and nicely fried with the pork. Looking for something spicy on the menu? Try wanton with chilli oil ($5.80)! It's actually a little spicy for a person like me who doesn't take much chilli. The chilli oil is inside the wanton, not in the sauce. Service was really efficient! Our food came after 5 mins of ordering. We ended up overeating because we ordered too much food. Initially we ordered egg tarts as well but thankfully they ran out of it (and it's just the start of dinner). Also ordered 4 bowls of rice plus 2 barleys and 2 watercress honey (if you like watercress, you must try!). Total bill came up to $90!…Read More

Went to get some desserts from Canton Paradise after dinner. I didn't think it was good. The packaging was sloppy and the dessert didn't tasted nice, it was bland and disappointing.I ordered the aloe vera and osmanthus jelly - $4.00For the price, I really expected more. It filled up only half of the container and had only 3 wolf-berries in it.. Seriously. Not the way to promote their business. I could taste the sugar more than the osmanthus taste itself and it was not really a jelly but a some honeyed water. Disappointing. I also bought the Red Bean and Yam Pastry - $3.90 It wasn't as bad as the jelly but it was still quite bad. Perhaps I was a little bias towards the negative viewpoint of the desserts. The redeeming quality was that it had bits of red bean that could be taken out so you would know that its made of real red bean. I couldn't really taste the yam. I would definitely not go and order the desserts from here as it is pricey and not worth it at all. I will still try their other main dishes which they are probably more well-known for. …Read More

Having tried Canton Paradise many times, the taste never fails me! Canton Paradise is my definite choice for dim sum because of affordable prices and fresh ingredients used in their food.Sliced Fish CongeeThey have a variety of congee to choose from and to try something new, we had sliced fish congee. I suppose their congee is the best. Smooth and is like drinking congee with every mouthful. One thing good is their sliced fish are fresh. Quite a generous serving for the fish. Egg Noodles in Superior Soya SauceI wonder why they sprinkle sesame seeds on top on the noodles but this plate of egg noodles is so savoury that I suggested to my boyfriend that we should have it the Hong Kong style as seen in drama where they serve congee and noodles for breakfast. This combination is awesome. Best part, the noodles are not very oily. It makes you feel fuller towards the end.Cheongfun with PrawnThe reason why I choose prawn fillings rather than char siew or plain ones is because I can't get enough of their fresh prawn. So fresh and springy. And yes their cheongfun is smooth and you can just slurp in easily. But remember to dip some of the sauce. It further enhances the taste.Prawn Dumpling aka Ha GaoYou see! I just can't have enough of their food that have prawns. The whole peeled prawn is within the thin skin. You definitely enjoy your every bite. So springy. 4 is just not enough.Xiao Long BaoWhat I look for in Xiao Long Bao mostly is on their skin, the fillings within are good enough and of course the soup inside too. But the thickness of the skin is very important. You won't want to have thick skin that taste hard and no matter how good the fillings within are, the first impression or bite spoil everything. But here, they meet my requirement. Texture is just right. So everything is perfect.Siew MaiI don't really like it because it tastes weird. My boyfriend said maybe because of the caviar on top but I think is not. The first bite, it tastes a little sour and I had a hard time swallowing the next bite.Glutinous Rice with Chicken in Lotus LeafI recommend this. Although the chicken within is very minimal but this is definitely one good choice we made. The glutinous rice is so soft that you may have a hard time picking up with your chopsticks. We can't say that it is too watery because it is not. I think it might be the rice they used and the amount of water they used in steaming. But after that, please have more tea for digestion purpose.Prawn Dumpling SoupA bad choice because the skin tastes weird. I guess is sour. Like they have put for days. The fillings are good but the skin spoil everything. Definitely will not choose this again. Had one dumpling and that's it. Overall this meal we spend about $60++ and because I have joined their membership program previously, I have $13 discount from the bill plus if you are an OCBC cardmember, you can get rebates too. …Read More

Just went to Canto Paradise to buy some Honey Char Siew BunIt sure doesn't look as pretty as the ones served at Tim Ho Wan, and it's slightly burnt at the bottom. It was rather cold when I eat, but when I took a bite into it, it sure tasted better! The filling is not too sweet, not too wet. The char siew bites was just to the right size and it can taste the sweetness of the char siew bites.Will definitely go again for more take-away! …Read More
