Signature Dynasty Xiao Long Bao Smile May 22, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Shanghainese | Restaurant | Dim Sum | Noodles

I had one of the most unforgettable meals in my life here in Paradise Dynasty. The food was superb, and I really love their creativity with their Signature Dynasty Xiao Long Bao!

 
Signature Dynasty Xiao Long Bao

I love this dish the most! Some might think this is a gimmick, but to me it is as creative and authentic as can be, and I can go back again and again just to eat this over and over again.

Each colour of the Xiao Long Bao distinguishes what flavour it holds:
1) White - original
2) Grey - garlic
3) Orange - crab roe
4) Yellow - cheese
5) Black - black truffle
6) Beige - foie gas
7) Green - ginseng
8) Pink - sze chuan

I had fun guessing the flavours when I picked them up according to my favourite colours, and each time I bit into it, I was able to accurately guess what flavour the colour held. This is because the flavours were rather intense - if it promises cheese, you get a strong cheese flavour infused in the meat; if it promises crab roe, you get a strong seafood crab fragrance infused in the meat, and etc. The taste is rather authentic, and this is definitely a creative re-invention of Xiao Long Bao. I was so glad my friend and I each ordered a tray for ourselves, so that we could taste every single flavour. The Xiao Long Bao was also really juicy, full of broth, and the meat was succulent and tasty.

 
Seafood La Mian

The handmade la mian was silky and good. Don't underestimate the looks of it by its white-coloured broth. Every sip was full of taste. Topped with crunchy and sweet prawns.

 
Spicy Pork Dumplings

There is clearly alot of ingredients wrapped in each dumpling! No corner-cutting; very luxurious. I like the spiciness and saltiness of the chilli, which added that extra kick to its meaty taste.

 
Lava Eggs

I find the taste and texture of this to be mediocre, and this would be the only dish I wouldn't order the next time I return. I guess I've been too spoilt by the Japanese's version of lava eggs, which is always soaked in sauce till it turns brown on the outside, with its yolk still runny. I don't particularly like over-done yolks (almost hard-boiled) because of the powdery and starchy bite.

 
Sour and Spicy Soup

The vinegar and spiciness in this was very well-balanced, which was commendable. The ingredients were also generous. Delicious!

Soya Beancurd with Han Tien Jelly Smile May 22, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Desserts and Cakes

The first time I tried So-Yea, I ordered a soyabean grassjelly drink, and was rather impressed. This time I was tempted to try their beancurd.

 
Beancurd with Han Tien Caramel

It was good! The beancurd was very smooth and light. I thought the Han Tien topping went quite well with the beancurd. Han Tien jelly is a kind of crunchy-textured jelly but softer than konjac jelly. The brown colour comes from caramel, but tasted more like brown sugar. It added a tinge of sweetness to the jelly, which was nice yet unique, because it tastes rather different from the traditional beancurd whereby a clear sugar solution is added.

Char Siew Bao Smile May 22, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Cantonese/Hong Kong | Restaurant | Dim Sum

There's a takeaway counter at the entrance of this Canton Paradise in Compasspoint. Everytime I walk past I'd be tempted by this delicious crispy-looking char siew bao staring back at me.

 

 
I can't help but compare this char siew bao with that of Tim Ho Wan's, with the recent hype of their award-winning char siew bao which is part of their four-heavenly kings, due to the similarity in looks and the pastry skin. I'd say each has its own strong points.

 
$1.60 each

There are plenty of ingredients inside this char siew bao - no corner cutting, and is it rather delicious - more fragrant than sweet. I like it that there're lots of chunks of meat inside this. The pastry skin is not as crispy as Tim Ho Wan's but still good, and it crumbles when you bite into it.

Awesome Asian Buffet Smile May 21, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Asian Variety | Hotel | Halal | Buffet

I have to say I was rather impressed with this place.

It is now certified halal, so it's a good destination for gatherings. The variety of food served here is really luxurious although it's mostly restricted to asian. If you love fresh seafood, this is heaven for you.

 
Lots of fresh crustaceans - prawns, crayfish, mussels, oysters.

I love the prawns because they are so fresh, juicy, chewy and sweet. There are lots of lemon slices and sauces on the sides so you can help yourselves. The mango salad was also awesome, with sweetness, sourness, spiciness all intertwined together. There is just too much going on here!

 
Oysters

Everytime the oysters get topped up, a group of enthusiastic dinners will swamp over the counter. The speed at which these oysters disappear, usually within 2 minutes, is amazing. My friend who was lucky managed to snag 3 for us to share. It's really fresh and cold! I like mine with a twist of lemon.

 
Roast meat section

The food selection here is so vast that the roast meats section seems to have been overlooked. Nonetheless I took 1 small piece of each meat to try. It tasted good; well roasted! But sadly I didn't have much space in my stomach for more.

 
Sashimi

One of my favourite sections! The sashimi here is fresh and chunky - good quality! I can't emphasize how luxurious it is to be able to enjoy an endless supply of awesome fresh sashimi in this meal.

 
Kebab

Over here you can DIY your own kebab. I didn't do it because I thought that would be quite filling for me, so I only tasted some of the meat. Juicy and fragrant!

 
Cooked food section

In particular, the cooked seafood section. I went crazy over here because I simply couldn't resist the giant-sized chilli crabs and the humongous juicy slabs of sambal sting ray. Both were really impressive with lots of meat. They don't stinge on any quality or quantity. (See the crab pincers sticking out?) In fact, chilli crab is one of the star dishes in this entire restaurant, so it's really not-to-be-missed! If you like mantou, you can help yourselves to more chilli crab sauce and drown your crispy mantou in them.

 
Desserts

This is only 1 portion of the choices of dessert. I didn't help myself to any pastries because I was too full, but there is an ice-kachang machine that diners can help themselves to, for their own DIY ice-kachang. Another famous to-die-for dessert here is the durian pudding. The texture is like real durian flesh being blended with lots of other secret ingredients for that very intense bite. Served chilled, the taste is simply heavenly. I witnessed so many diners going back for 2nd/3rd/4th helpings, and each time they would fill up their bowls over the brim (like a full mountain) before going back to their seats. Although I was extremely full, I just had to squeeze in 2 bowls.

 
Some of the food on my plate. The satay was tender and succulent too!

The above only showed the food selection in half the restaurant. There were still many choices, like laksa station, etc, but I was too full for those. Next time..! I'll sure be back soon..!

Lobster Bisque Smile May 21, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Multi-Cuisine | Restaurant

I like the environment of this TCC branch. It feels like a hideout for me whereby I can watch the rest of city life pass by hastily, yet feel really relaxed in here, especially if I just plop myself against their soft sofa seats.

 
Lobster Bisque

It's an even bigger bonus when the food is good.

The tomato soup base has been infused with some lobster seafood flavour - really tasty! There are lots of ingredients in the soup too. The best part, surprisingly, has got to be the pastry. Served on butter-toasted french loaf, there are chunks of to-die-for lobster meat and fish roe all over. Love it!
