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 BaoI love this dish the most!

Signature Dynasty Xiao Long BaoI 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 MianThe 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 DumplingsThere 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 EggsI 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 SoupThe vinegar and spiciness in this was very well-balanced, which was commendable. The ingredients were also generous. Delicious!
