Paradise Dynasty @ ION Orchard

Yet another ‘Xiao Long Bao‘ post.

Only that this time, it’s completely out of the norm.

Colourful soup dumplings that comes in eight unique flavours!

There was actually a recommended flow to which flavour you should attack first (from the mildest to strongest) so that you don’t break the taste. Shall run through this with a few comments.

1. Original (white) – the skin was surprisingly soft and the soup stock was perfect!
2. Garlic (gray) – very fragrant, I like this!
3. Ginseng (green) – too overpowering for me.
4. Foie Gras (brown) – couldn’t taste the Foie Gras at all.
5. Black Truffle (black) – most intimidating in terms of looks, but it turned out to be a favourite!
6. Cheesy (yellow) – just nice.
7. Crab Roe (orange) – kinda weird.
8. Szechuan (pink) – spicy and a little oily, but was rather special.

Being able to try every single flavour was a brilliant idea indeed. Now I know what I’m going to order in bulk for my next visit.
