Dim Sum Day

Taste Paradise, ION Orchard


My friends, in a hurry to tick our dimsum orders, because the manager told us it's already time for them to take 'last orders', and we just arrived! (345pm)
3:45pm


Jasmine tea
Pickled don't-know-what, but it's good.

First one that came out- Xiao long bao with foie gras. This is soooo goood. It's fragrant and has a delicate taste.


Fried beancurd with egg white salad. Yummy.


Ho fan. Also very good.

Cute custard bun. Soo good that we ordered another one.

Crab meat dumpling. Too bland. Skippable dim sum.

That's taro puff behind. Taro puff was quite soft and easy to eat, but for me, the taste wasn't spectacular.


The round one behind was the mushroom and olive dumpling (okay), and the dumpling-shaped one was prawn with spinach something (also okay).

Oozing with the custard and eggyolk mixture. Ahh, so so good.


Pan fried xiao long bao. The dough was too thick and taste was just so-so. Skip this as well.
Scallop ho-fan, and behind was the prawn ho-fan and siumai. They were okay, but not extraordinary. My siumai crumbled when I tried to get it with my chopsticks.

My friends had the urge to eat dim sum , and since they weren't able to book us for the dim sum buffet at Mandarin hotel, they suggested Taste Paradise instead.
We sort of had a buffet as well, because we ordered quite a lot. Everything tasted heavenly at first, but by the time we finished, everything tasted the same. That's how much we ordered. It had the same effect as having a buffet. So much food in the stomach that the last few bites were already forced.
Just the same, I had great memories of the first few heavenly bites. Mmmm.. I'll definitely go back to try the other dim sum selections.
Total bill was SGD87 for 3 people.
