Dim Sum Cravings

A few weeks back, I was craving for dim sum and so I ask hubby to take me out to eat. Crystal Jade is good enough for me but hubby insists that I should try the dim sum at Canton Paradise at 112 Katong Mall. 
 Here's what we feast on...
We had the Sample Platter of their bestseller  Crackling Pork Belly & BBQ Pork Belly with Honey Sauce.   Heaven on a platter!  The Crackling Pork Belly just melts in your mouth & the skin is so crispy.  I have to stop and let it linger a bit on my palette.  The BBQ Pork Belly is just as good!  Caramelised smoky BBQ goodness.  
Of course we also had some of our favorites like Har Gau (Shrimp Dumplings).
My all time favorite Char Siew Sou did not disappoint.  The pastry is flaky, melts in your mouth while the BBQ Pork filling is moist, tasty & not overly sweet.  Just perfect!
These Baked Buns with BBQ Pork is their take on Tim Ho Wan's Baked BBQ Buns in Hong Kong which I have also tried.  Canton Paradise take on these famed buns are just okay to me, it taste good but Tim Ho Wan is still the best.   
I can't seem to recall the name of these pastries but I think its some sort of like a mini   Chicken Pie with mushrooms.  My hubby loved it but I'll remain loyal to my Char Siew Sou.
Another favorite of mine is the Fried Beancurd Skin Roll with Shrimp.  My hubby always say that I love the black vinegar dip more than the rolls itself!  
Now these Deep Fried Prawn with Mango Rolls are just delish!  The combination of prawn and the sweetness of mango is just wonderful!   
Another favorite of mine are Wontons in Hot & Spicy Sauce.  I can eat bowls of these!
Yet another favorite dim sum is the Steamed Rice in Lotus Leaf (Lo Ma Gai).  It was pretty good but kinda filling though the portion is just nice for one person.  


Didn't get the chance to try the sweet desserts because obviously we are stuffed to the gills!  Overall it was a satisfying visit...the answer to my dim sum cravings & I will definitely go back!
