(Invited Tasting) I had not visited a @paradisegrpsg restaurant in more than a year, so the invitation to try the newly-reopened Pardise Teochew at Takashimaya (it’s on level 3, just below Kinokuniya) was timely. My parents, @huatkaliao and I were ushered to the private room upon arrival and settled in with little cups of “Nuo Mi Xiang Pu Erh” - it’s a welcome tea meant to help prepare the stomach for food. After we chose our condiments (I love that besides the usual chilli padi and pickled green chillies, they offer minced raw garlic and an umami dried shrimp sambal created by Executive Chef Cheng Fa Kwan), another tea was served. The “Ping Guo Hong Cha” (Apple Red Tea) with its delicate sweet fragrance, is a signature found at all #ParadiseTeochew outlets. I thought it paired very nicely with all the food we had that afternoon. The first of which was a selection of steaming hot #dimsum: - Steamed Dumplings in Teochew Style - Encased in a rather gelatinous skin was a mix of stirfried turnip, peanuts, mushrooms and fresh herbs. - Siew Mai - This classic “dim sum” item is usually not my thing but I found Paradise Teochew’s version to be really good. Apart from tasting extremely fresh, there was plenty of prawns minced in with the fish-meat paste. - Deepfried Prawn in Beancurd Skin Roll - Major love! Merging bouncy fresh minced prawns and shattering crunch is always a great idea. It was on to the main dishes next. And we were effusive in our praises for the first of those - the Fried Pomfret cooked in a claypot with “kiam chye” and wedges of fresh skinless tomatoes in a light and tangy tomato soup. A creation so appetising should not be missed. After that, it was the Trio of Teochew Style Braised Combination Platter with three kinds of goodness sliced up and accompanied by assorted dips. My favourites were the Pork Knuckle and the excellent Sliced Octopus. Plated individually was the following course, a strikingly tasty Sea Cucumber. We were told it takes 8 to 10 days for the star of this show to be prepared but I can assure you, the effort is worth it. All of us were raving as we relished each springy tender bite of the sea cucumber… ⬇️Continued in Comments⬇️
