Steamed honeyed char siew pau at canton paradise by paradise group. A little too sweet but very fluffy buns.
We also tried the char siew baos at Canton Paradise as we were craving for more dim sum. The char siew baos here are different from those that are sold at your usual coffee shop drinks stalls, as the pork filling is encased within a bun that is baked, which makes the exterior really crispy.
We love the slight buttery taste in the crust, and the fact that the pork filling comprised quite a fair bit of fatty meat as well. Furthermore, the amount of meat served in each bun was pretty generous too! You pay around $6++ for three char siew baos, which I guess is a fairly reasonable price for dim sum in a Chinese restaurant.
The liushabao at Canton Paradise are so cute as they are decorated with the faces of pigs! Don't worry as the ears and noses of the pigs are perfectly edible and it's otherwise a standard liushabao, with egg and custard filling enclosed within. We like that they were served piping hot although you should probably be careful when biting into the hot filling!
However, we thought that the restaurant could be more generous with the filling, as the bao layer was much thicker than we expected. At $6++, the dish also doesn't come cheap although you may want to try it once as not many places serve liushabao decorated with the faces of pigs!
Ting Zai Zhou, or lychee boat congee, is one of our favourite porridge dishes at Canton Paradise because it comes with so many ingredients for a dish that is less than $10! The bowl of congee is served with crispy youtiao, five slices of fish, three strands of cuttlefish and garnished with spring onions, peanuts as well as coriander.
Our favourite ingredient by far was the youtiao, as it was fried to the point where it was really crispy! We would recommend eating it first to enjoy the crisp, although we know some of you may prefer dipping the youtiao into your porridge! The fish slices were soft and tender, and they were also not fishy.
The dish was pretty enjoyable on a rainy day and it was a rather generous serving that is guaranteed not to leave you hungry! That being said, Canton Paradise is pretty crowded (although Nex is always crowded) so do make a reservation to avoid having to queue for a long time.
Nice dim sum delivery from my sister!
super good tender beef slices well marinated in black pepper sauce but tends to be a bit oily. very well done beef that even my mum liked and she doesn’t eat beef!! no beefy taste at all
