![]() With over a hundred years of historical development, mainstream Taiwanese cuisine has been influenced by Hakka cuisine, the cuisines of the waishengren (people of other provinces), Japanese cuisine, and American cuisine, with southern Fujian cuisine having had the most profound impact. Paradise Dynasty is planning on expanding to LA next year, so I look forward to trying that location as well when it opens.Taiwanese cuisine ( 臺灣 料理 Táiwān liàolǐ Tâi-oân liāu-lí, Bopomofo: ㄊㄞˊㄨㄢˉㄌㄧㄠˋㄌㄧˇ, or Chinese: 臺灣菜 pinyin: Táiwāncài Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Tâi-oân-chhài, Bopomofo: ㄊㄞˊㄨㄢˉㄘㄞˋ) is a popular style of food with several variations, including Chinese and that of Taiwanese Indigenous peoples, with the earliest cuisines known of being the indigenous ones. Next time, I want to have a full meal here so I can sample more dim sum items and I definitely want to eat more of their signature eight flavors xiao long bao. Overall, we really enjoyed our visit here. It was the only item we had that was disappointing. While these looked very cool, we found the buns to be a little bit dry. ![]() What made these unique were the charcoal buns, a stark contrast to the traditional pristine white buns. Salted yolk buns are one of my favorite things to order at dim sum because I love the lava custard center. The radish pastry was full of thin, crispy layers. Radish cakes are a dim sum staple and this was a delicious and beautiful twist on the original. The soupy dumplings even had rice in them. The two-toned dumplings managed to capture the flavors of the classic Taiwanese dish in one perfect bite. Lu rou fan is a Taiwanese classic and I found this flavor to be incredibly creative and not a flavor I have yet seen anywhere in Taiwan.

And each one had just enough soup contained in them. I am always comparing every xiao long bao I eat to the ones served at Din Tai Fung and I thought the skins on these dumplings were just as delicate, thin and pliable. The colorful dumplings are colored with natural ingredients and were so plump and beautiful. Each one really tasted just like the flavor it was supposed to. I was thoroughly impressed with these dumplings. The colorful dumplings are quite popular and have spawned many copycats, but this is the chain that originally came up with the idea.Īfter you order the dumplings, you are given a sheet that tells you the flavors of the dumplings and the order they should be eaten in: starting with the mildest flavor and ending with the strongest flavor. ![]() I wished we had been able to try more, but this was the final stop on our dumpling tour that day, so we only saved enough room for their signature xiao long bao. The dim sum menu is extensive, with many unique dishes I’ve never seen before. The restaurant is spacious with a lovely interior. During my visit to Taiwan earlier this year, I was able to try the Taiwan branch of this chain and it was one of the highlights of my trip. Paradise Dynasty is a Singapore based chain famous for their signature eight flavors of xiao long bao, a delicate Chinese dumpling filled with pork and soup.
