I absolutely love Dim Sum, but I try not to have it too often as I tend to overeat and regret it later. But, when Mrs. M said she was taking me to try the best dim sum she's ever had in Singapore, well I just couldn't reject her offer. We arrived at Paradise Dynasty at around 11am to beat the rush, also because we woke up too late and missed breakfast time anyway.
Like in New Ubin Seafood, I left the ordering to Mrs. M's capable and knowledgeable hands. Below are her favourite dishes, and now, they're mine too!
 |
| La Mian with Minced Meat and Mushroom Sauce (SGD$8.80) |
The first dish served was the la mian. What a thrill it was to have noodles for breakfast, when in Singapore right? Even though the mushroom sauce was a little spicy for me, I loved this dish. The noodles was my favourite thin and firm noodles and the sauce was thick and tasty. There was generous minced meat on top, actually there was a generous amount of everything in this dish.

| Kai Lan (SGD$7.80) |
Then came the kai lan, nothing too exciting, but made us feel a little healthier. This dish was certainly tasty, but there was way too much thick and tough stalk!
 |
| Pan Fried Shanghai Pork Bun (SGD$4.50) |
Next, I tried a dim sum dish I've never tried before, the pan fried buns. It's reminiscent of a gyoza or pot sticker, but the wrapping is a nice fluffy bun that's crispy on the outside. One little piggy bun went in my tummy, another little piggy bun when into Mrs. M's tummy and the last piggy bun was cut straight in the middle! I really enjoyed this dish, but there was a sour flavour in the filling that was unusual, but when eaten as a whole, it was very tasty and filling.
 |
| Specialty Dynasty Xiao Long Bao (SGD$14.80) |
Lastly, we enjoyed the eight different flavours of xiao long bao. My favourites were the black truffle (black), cheesy (yellow) and the foie gras (gold) xiao long baos. Overall, the xiao long baos had a very delicate and thin skin, which didn't break when we picked it up. This was definitely an experience in itself and it was like eating an eight course degustation!
I was so glad I got to taste such delicious dim sum in Singapore and it got us all excited for the day ahead! I'll be back Paradise Dynasty!
