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.

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.
