Family Lunch at Paradise Dynasty, Ion Orchard.

Awhile ago (In March or April, I think... Super backlogged post mann~), my family had our Sunday lunch at Paradise Dynasty located in Ion Orchard, which is one of the Chinese restaurant brands under the Paradise Group. It was my first time dining at this place.

One of their specialty dishes is the multi-colored dumplings,
or also known as Xiao Long Baos.

When I knew that we were heading to Paradise Dynasty for lunch, I was very excited as I heard so much about the colorful dumplings that come in various interesting fillings (including my favorite foie gras!), that I was looking forward to try! We ordered two basket trays of it and boy, the taste was amazing~~~

Different xiao long bao color means different fillings in it...
So let me share with you what they are:

Pink: Steamed Shanghai Sze Chuan Pork Dumpling: Original xiao long bao taste.
Yellow – Steamed Shanghai Cheesy Pork Dumpling: Strong taste of the cheese filling, iLike.
Green – Steamed Shanghai Ginseng Pork Dumpling: I didn't want to try this.
Black – Steamed Shanghai Black Truffle Pork Dumpling: Difficult to taste the black truffle, but strong pleasant aroma though!
Brown – Steamed Shanghai Foie Gras Pork Dumpling : A subtle hint of the goose liver. Nothing beats eating one piece of foie gras by itself. And I SHALL have foie gras soon!
Grey – Steamed Shanghai Garlic Pork Dumpling : Didn't try this too, as the dull color was enough to turn me off HAHA!
White – Steamed Shanghai Pork Dumpling : Rich pork taste in it. iLike.
Orange – Steamed Shanghai Crab Roe Pork Dumpling : Crab roe in pork dumpling was brilliant! iLike!

This was the one with crab roe filling.

While waiting for the rest of the dishes to arrive, I took pics! Btw, I love the chairs!
They have such a high back which make the whole place look posh. Agree?
And I can lean my head back and it would be so well-supported! :p

That's my Dad and Bro, while waiting for the food to arrive...
And that's me with Bbb!~ :)

What I ordered: La Mian in Signature Pork Bone Soup with Pan Fried Chicken Chop

I like the smoothness of the La Mian, especially felt when I 'sucked' in the noodles to eat. :p Although it was supposed to be pan-fried (means minimal oil used in cooking), the chicken was too oily for me that I didn't finish them but gave it to Bbb to eat instead. The bowl was really big, and I do like the intricate designs of it. The serving size was just nice for me (But please take note that I have a hearty appetite, so it may be too much for some of the ladies.).

Also, I learnt that their signature soup was made using ingredients like pork bone, pork ribs and whole chicken, which is simmered over slow fire for 12 hours before being served.

Bbb and bro had the La Mian with Sliced Pork in Signature Pork Bone Soup

La Mian with Sliced Beef (Non-spicy).

Sis had the Shanghai Rice Flour Cake with Shredded Pork & Baby Cabbage Soup

We also ordered some sides... Stewed Sliced Fish with Chinese Wine Sauce.
The fish slices were fresh and flavorful. The Chinese Wine sauce was suitably strong for the taste buds.
