Multi-Colored Xiao Long Bao 18Aug11

Chee Hong and me were shopping in town this fine day and decided to have dinner at Paradise Dynasty as we wanted to try the signature multi-colored Xiao Long Bao. Well, the eight different flavors of XLB cost us $13.80 (quite expensive but to consider the unique tastes they enhance in, it sounds reasonable too).

The eight flavors description after tasting:
Normal: The usual taste which most people can accept and I liked it best.
Cheese: Salty cheese taste with a little bit of melted cheese in between the filling.
Szechuan: The juice was totally like having Spicy "Ma la" Steamboat.
Black Truffle: Normal XLB with some small bits of truffles which you could chew on.
Foie Gras: Had the awful clam taste and I didn't like that.
Ginseng: Felt very nourishing but light (quoted by chee hong).
Crab Roe: A bit salty of the normal XLB (quoted by chee hong).
Garlic: Super garlic taste! (quoted from chee hong).

We also had ramen which I was very pleased with the soup base as it tastes fantastic. The overall bill wasn't too expensive too, judging from what we ordered. 3.5 stars out of 5 is my review for it.

Happily posting with the unique multi-colored XLB

Ramen and "Guo Tie" both tastes good
