Paradise Dynasty & TWG Tea Salon

Paradise Dynasty is a new establishment by the Paradise Group, which focuses on Shanghainese cuisine, and serves renowned dishes like 拉面,小笼包 and various appetisers.



 Signature Dynasty Xiao Long Bao

油焖竹笋

Stir-fried la mian with pork and fungus

Their signature xiao long bao supposedly consists of 8 different flavours, namely original, szechuan, cheese, foie gras, truffle, ginseng, garlic and crab roe. Honestly, the individual flavours are so subtle, that i cant really tell the difference, except for the szechuan, which is distinctly spicy. If you like your xiao long bao soupy, i don't recommend you order the cheese one, because theres very little soup left in it as it is mostly absorbed by the cheese. Overall, just a gimmicky way of serving xiao long bao. The bamboo shoots and the fried la mian are a little too oily, but pretty flavourful. maybe their steamed items might be worth another try.



Lemon Bush tea macaron

Raspberry yoghurt cake

Very nice ambience, very comfortable to sit with a group of friends, and mull over their endless choice of teas. I think even if you were to come here every week, u can only finish sampling all their tea flavours after at least a year. Didn't try the macaron, but the raspberry cake is not too bad, with the sourness of the raspberries and yoghurt frosting balancing with the creaminess of the cream cheese. Not too bad to pair with teas. Will definitely come back again.
