Paradise Dynasty (south Coast Plaza)

Boy oh boy. Overall a nice experience. If we're focusing on their showcase item, the Xiao Long Bao, then you can get better XLB at the other wing of the mall at Din Tae Fung. The XLB here are just okay. Skins are nice, the meat is mediocre. It's nice they have so many variations, but they need to get the signature pork XLB right before thinking about other flavors like BBQ pulled pork... Service was ok. Other dishes were fine (the hot and sour soup was quite good). Overall decent experience but NOT worth the money.

Sleek Chinese modernist decor and tasty dumplings. The little steam basket dumplings have delicious broth and interesting flavors without being oily. The stir fried noodles and chili wonton also have good flavor. Skip the desserts as they tasted generic. The chocolate Panda is cute but nothing special.Vegetarian options: Several stir fried vegetable platters, vegetarian dumplings and noodles

For the price of dining here, I did not find the food exceptional. Even though we sat down at 7:30 for dinner, many dishes were sold out/unavailable. It was Singaporean cuisine, I was expecting more traditional Chinese fare.

Our favorite soup dumpling spot. Truffle, cheese, salted egg soup dumplings are usual picks and we try other options. Usually very good.

Enjoyed yummy Chinese food with family here. We love xiao long bao. The kids were so excited because the xiao long bao would be in a rainbow color. Very packed and seems like a popular place!
