xiaolongbao 小笼包
went with friends to watch captain america – civil war at shaw lido yesterday.
after the movie we adjourned to paradise dynasty at level 4 ion orchard for dinner on 28.4.2016. ^^.
another friend join us after his day seminar, so we had 4pax.
captain america – civil war was very enjoyable movie, the best comics movie for me, better than x-men etc which i like, and 1 of the best movies i have seen…
great story-telling, great dialogue, good humour… friendship…chemistry…so many good actors…super fun…
peanut & chestnuts starters – S$2.50
we asked the price of the peanut & chestnut starter. it was just S$2.50 so we took it. it was really good, there were lots of chestnuts.
paradise dynasty
the place was well patronised but not yet full at 8pm.
paradise dynasty
paradise dynasty was having 30% discounts on 5 dishes.
the service by the chinese server was very good. it was difficult for us to identify the 5 dishes as they appear in totally different parts of the ordering chit. she took us through, explained the dishes & ordered for us.
xiaolongbao 小笼包 – S$7.80
we started with 2trays x 6 xiaolongbao 小笼包. so 3 pieces each for 4pax.
xiaolongbao 小笼包 was good. the soup inside was very tasty. however dough skin at top slightly thicker, also the meat filling not as tasty.
later we greedy lot added another 2 trays, so in total each of us took 6 pieces. haha! 🙂
drunken chicken醉鸡 – S$9.50
drunken chicken was good too.
drunken chicken醉鸡 – S$9.50
chicken was tender. presentation was good. the 绍兴酒fragrance very good. 🙂
(for comparison see the photo for peach garden miramar, tasted good looked odd).
minced pork soup 狮子头 – S$9.80
the minced pork soup 狮子头 quite a ok soup.
minced pork soup 狮子头 – S$9.80
soup below S$7 after discount so ok.
but really pales in comparison with a good lie tong 例汤say at tunglok signature orchard parade.
omelette 赛螃蟹 – S$13.80
the omelette 赛螃蟹 quite a meaningless dish for me, forgettable & it’s not cheap for egg whites with supposedly conpoy in it.
romaine lettuce油麦菜 – S$10.80
the romaine lettuce油麦菜 was quite misleading. it looked like a very tiny serving so i thought it was expensive at S$10 (this dish no discounts).
actually it was quite a decent helping, so not really more ex say c/w kok sen, a zi char stall.
fried rice – S$11.80
the fried rice was pretty good too. reasonably tasty & a good helping for 4pax.
fried rice – S$11.80
not the best of course.
no comparison with crystal jade lamian xiaolongbao’s spicy seafood fried rice.
fried ramen – S$11.80
we ordered a fried ramen. i guess we could eat a lot if we want too.
fried ramen – S$11.80
it was ok, but really no different from any breakfast fried noodles or the hong kong style street sweet soy sauce noodles.
dinner came to S$108nett for 4pax.
a friend has his birthday next week so we bought him dinner. ^^
very enjoyable movie & a great dinner chat & time together with good friends.
price wise, if we kept to the 5 items with discount which was quite enough for 4pax, price would be S$70nett, so very reasonabe for the food.
we added of course the veg, the noodles & 2 more xiaolongbao. 🙂
