Taste Paradise introduces its first menu change after its inaugural one had a successful nine-year run since its opening

 


Royal Touch

Asiatic Decor
The restaurant transports diners back into an age when ancient dynasties prospered. Life-sized paintings of Chinese emperors create the ambience, alongside wooden chairs styled after those from a bygone era and gilded slates swirling across the ceiling like a dragon slithering overhead. At the same time, sharp, clean lines keep the space looking contemporary. 


Meat Up


Essential Starter
Crackling pork belly and barbecued pork with honey sauce or char siew are perennial favourites at most Chinese restaurants. Here, they come as one order, united by their fatty, flavourful meat. The savoury skin of the pork belly has a satisfying crunch, while the char siew, slightly charred, entices with sweet and smoky flavours.


Liquid Gold


In A Husk
Boost your collagen levels with the shark’s cartilage soup. Fresh prawns, scallops and fish swim in its rich, milky broth, which has been simmered at low heat for six hours. It is served in a young Thai coconut and gains a slight sweetness from the fruit’s juicy white meat, which has been softened by the warmth of the broth.


Take The Cake


Signature Pick
Brought over from the old menu, the Taste Paradise XO Carrot Cake is a crowd favourite. Fluffy chunks of radish cake are fried with egg, shrimp bits and XO sauce until they have soaked up one another’s flavours, and the outsides of the cake are slightly crispy. Beansprouts and scallions complete the colour and crunch.


Herbal goodness


Melt In Your Mouth
A feel-good dish is the pan-seared Kurobuta pork with dang gui sauce in casserole. The meat almost melts in the mouth and its sweet sauce awakens the senses with a mild taste of the dang gui root, which is believed in TCM practice to tonify blood—nourishing and replenishing it—and improves immunity. Chopped bell peppers and spears of asparagus served alongside add their own light sweetness to the dish.
