"Paradise Dynasty" is the latest addition to the Paradise Group of Restaurants in Singapore. The entrance to the restaurant is small but the interior is wide and comfy. They even offer alfresco dining with nice view of Tangs and Orchard Road. The LED lights on the exterior of ION Orchard also sparkles into the restaurant, creating quite a visual feast for diners.The xiao loong paos come in eight sumptuous flavours - black truffle, foie gras, garlic, ginseng, cheese, Szechuan, crab roe and, of
The xiao loong paos come in eight sumptuous flavours - black truffle, foie gras, garlic, ginseng, cheese, Szechuan, crab roe and, of course, traditional. Patrons can choose their favourite flavour which comes in 6 or 10. Alternatively, they can also choose to have 1 of each flavour. After trying, I still prefer ginseng or traditional. Xiao loong pao skin is thin, the meat is well-marinated and the soup in the pao is flavourful.

We had 'la mien' with braised pork belly. The pork belly literally melts in our mouths!!! Soup base is thick pork broth which is very flavourful. The noodles are handmade and done al dente. It is a perfect combination. We also had the dumpling noodles, but dumpling was a little bland for us.
The crispy garlic pork ribs is fragrant and crispy - a perfect snack after the hot and soupy dishes, may be too 'garlicky' for people who don't fancy garlic. Free-flow pu-erh tea was pretty decent at $1.20 per head. There is a tea-pouring expert, who pours the tea from a long spouted teapot. Service is alright, not as good as ding tai fung but better than qun zhong.
It was my second time there and I'll still patronise them for the good xiao loong pao and noodles. The ambience is 5 star, for good xiao loong pao!
