First Stop, Paradise Dynasty.
Paradise Dynasty started from a "Tze char" stall. Within few years, they had turn the "Tze Char" stall to a Chinese restaurant and opened not just in Singapore, they even brought it over to Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Japan and China.
The skin was perfectly done, it wasn't that thick and the color of the XLB wasn't by artificial colorings, it was made from the natural ingredients. The pork meat was tender and fresh. The broth taste depend on what flavor of XLB you ate.

Canton Paradise is pretty good for family and group dining. Price wise was reasonable. Service was good but food came was a bit slow.
Third Stop, Imperial Treasure Noodle & Congee House.
The unassuming appearance of the humble noodle belies the expertise required to perfect this staple of Chinese cuisine. Be it the classic you mian, traditional hand-pulled la mian or fried ho fun, there’s nothing like the simple sustenance of a plate of noodles.

An assortment of authentic Dim Sum is available daily as well. These refined small bites are exquisitely crafted by our Hong Kong chefs that never fail to deliver consistent and great quality.
Fourth Stop, Luk Yu Tea House.
Luk Yu Teahouse offer dim sum of a wide variety. From the classic dim sum like siew mai to uniquely crafted dishes like wasabi mango prawns, there is a little something for every palate at affordable prices.
Fifth Stop, Victor's Kitchen.
Tucked in a cosy corner in Singapore's bustling Orchard district, Victor's Kitchen serves exquisite Hong Kong-style dimsum in a friendly kopitiam setting. The chief chef, a Hong Kong transplant, moved to Singapore over 10 years ago with the intention of bringing authentic dimsum to the shores. He was previously a chef in Victoria Hotel, a five-star hotel in Hong Kong.
Was listed one of the best "Liu Sa Pau" 流沙包 in Singapore. It was really good that you will be back just for their "Liu sa pau". The custard was pretty flowy and you can taste the salted egg york in the pau.
The rice roll was pretty average. The char siew just an ordinary char siew, nothing special about it.
The siew mai was a bit disappointing as it was a little bit salty but it was meaty enough.
Food: 2/5
Ambience: 2.5/5
Service: 2.5
Food was just so so, but the Liu Sa Pau was really good. I don;t mind going back just for their Liu Sa Pau. Price wise, it was reasonable.
