Went to Canton Paradise (乐天小香港) at Junction 8 after praying at the temple. We were seated at two different tables, so each ordered their dishes separately. This Braised Peanut & Chestnut was the appetizer they placed on the table. Whole savoury peanuts with sweet chestnuts perked up the tastebuds as we poured ourselves the Glutinous Rice Pu-Erh Tea (糯米沱普洱茶).

We started off with the classic dim sum Siew Mai or Steamed Pork Dumpling (鱼子蒸烧卖皇). The pork and prawn filling with sprinkling of flying fish roe adding specks of colour is both meaty and wholesome tasting. Then came the Har Gow or Steamed Prawn Dumpling (笋尖鲜虾饺) with chunky succulent and crunchy prawn enclosed inside the translucent skin.

The Steamed Xiao Long Bao (上海小笼包) or soup dumpling is also another must order item. Pick it up gently with chopsticks into a soup spoon. Take a small bite in the dumpling skin and proceed to suck out the soup (beware, it's hot) then popped the whole thing into the mouth.

Week 29.4/52: July 17th- July 23rd 2023 | Din Tai Fung 🥟

Long time no eat (been 5 years since having it in Shanghai) and DTF never disappoints. I love the 红油抄手 and the XLBs hehehehe. Super filling and worth the wait (had to wait an hour inside Westfiled Century City Mall... good thing they had wifi RIP). Noticed that a lot of places in LA need to wait in order to sit down and eat. Even fast food places have a long wait usually. Too many people living here... not my favourite lol.

[小龙包 / xiao long bao]

A parting gift from 小龙, the soup dumpling dragon, but it is not a goodbye forever! I hear there is a certain dim sum shop in the city, that accepts these coins as payment. The characters on the coin read "these nuts".

paradise dynasty 乐天皇朝, bangsar village ii.

this chinese restaurant is famous for their signature 8 colors xiao long bao (soup dumplings), and each of them has a different flavor. finally got to try this and the experience is really enjoyable.

in one steam basket, the colorful xiao long bao are arranged very beautifully, great food presentation to increase appetite. they also gave a small sheet of paper explaining the flavors inside and the recommended order to enjoy them.

each dumpling has quite a lot of soup inside, so picking them up requires some patience and skills, the soup is very flavorful and distinct between each dumpling. i do love all of the flavors, foie gras, crab meat and truffle ones stood out the most.

it’s a good option to try all the flavors in one, but they also do allow you to order any flavor you like in 6 sor 12s as well, so it’s pretty flexible. definitely recommended for xiao long bao lovers.
