Paradise Dynasty at SM Aura Premier

by - November 01, 2018


My third time at Paradise Dynasty. I love how each visit is so memorable that I sometime wish I can have lunch here every day. As Paradise Dynasty opened its newest branch at SM Aura Premier, expect that we will have the same superb flavor of Chinese dishes we come to love and some. Plus, i'ts lovely setting of a long-gone era mixed with modern setup is a come-hither for you to try their refreshing take on Chinese delicacies.




We started off with the world famous and the restaurant’s signature Xiao Long Bao in eight distinctive flavors which is, Original, Ginseng, Foie Gras, Black Truffle, Cheese, Crab Roe, Garlic, and Szechuan.

Of course, dining here isn’t complete without this. By now, you should know the steps to enjoying the Xiao Long Bao by doing it in the following manner: lift what you prefer out of the steamer by its strongest part which is the topknot, you can use your spoon for support if needed. Then, nibble a small hole to let out the steam, sip the tasty soup from the spoon. Dip it gently into the dish of vinegar and add some ginger for that full flavor… enjoy!

Even after sampling it thrice, I still prefer the Cheese flavor.

In this latest Paradise Dynasty food jaunt, there’s something new in their menu and found out that it is only available in this new branch, it’s Singapore’s favorite Chili Crab Xiao Long Bao! I love how it looks and upon tasting, the first taste will remind you of the juice pouring out of the freshly cooked cracked crabs, that’s how scrumptious it is. It kicks where it supposed to hit you and that is right thru your palate. It’s so savory that we can’t help but order a second serving.
