Finally a trip to Paradise Dynasty !

Both of us took leave to give ourselves a break and final preparations for our photo shoot tomorrow. Since gal previously had purchase the Groupon vouchers for the Paradise Dynasty's signature 8 Flavors Xiao Long Bao, we decided to drop by here.

It was nice to shop or walk in Orchard in the weekdays. There was no crowd at all and it was so peaceful.

The interior of the restaurant is very cool and grand.
The ambience is good.

gal ordering the must-try Xiao Long Bao !!

The Legendary Xiao Long Bao from Paradise Dynasty. And one must eat it in a recommended sequence to be able to savor each individual flavor fully.

1) The original flavor - Perhaps the best xiao long bao (XLB) that we have tried so far. Fresh pork filling filled with sweet soup broth
2) Ginseng flavor (Green) - This was quite bitter to me as the ginseng taste was quite strong. Not my type of XLB.
3) Foie Gras (Brown) - Though both of us love Foie Gras, it was quite weird to have a Foie Gras flavored XLB. Taste rather bland
4) Black Truffle (Black) - This was one of best other than the original flavor. A luxury treat !
5) Cheese (Yellow) - Not too bad, but it will be better if the cheese is thicker.
6) Crab Roe (Orange) - This was quite sweet and nice too.
7)Garlic (Grey) - Pretty decent
8) Szechuan (Pink) - Gal's favorite flavor among the 8. Unique flavor and it's spicy.

Other than the XLB, we also ordered 2 other dishes to go with the XLB. One of them is the mouth-drooling Chong You Bing, or Onion Pancake. It was very cripsy, fried but did not seem to be oily at all.

We also ordered a bowl of La Mian to share. The soup was sweet and nice, and the noodles was QQ. Read from somewhere that Japanese Ramen originated from Chinese La Mian, but La Mian was much cheaper ! Y is this so??

The La Mian also had an egg which is similar to the Ramen!! The egg here is simply much better than what most Ramen shops serve in Singapore.

Had a little shopping after our meal before heading home early to have a good rest for our bridal shoot tomorrow. It was shock to laze around the whole day ! =p
