For Traditional Nyonya Cakes
This store sticks out even in such a big mall, it's like someone chopped off a part of a regular traditional kopitiam and slapped it into Paradigm Mall. They have classic kuehs like ondeh ondeh (RM3 for 5 pieces), curry puff (RM 2.80), and pumpkin cake (RM1). Shaved ice desserts are also available, try the Mao Shan Wang Cendol (RM8), and you can even add ice cream on it (additional RM2)

For Chocolate Banana Toast
Get your caffeine fix at good coffee, a nice cozy little shop in the middle of the upper ground level. You can’t miss the place as it's directly in front of the concierge. While you’re here, grab their sandwiches or ice cream toast. We would recommend the chocolate banana toast (RM17.90) as well as the GC Ham and cheese Sandwich (RM8.90). Good Coffee is Halal certified, so rest assured that the Ham is made out of turkey.

For Everything Chocolate
“Chocolate Heaven for chocolate lovers' “, that’s how Burppler Sknnypotato refers to dipndip, and we won’t argue. Dipndip has enough chocolate to make even a cocoa plantation blush, we’re talking Triple chocolate Crepe (RM23.10), Triple chocolate waffle (RM21.90), fruit skewers dipped in chocolate (RM20.40), and even a “Chocolate shot” drink (RM11) to wash down all that chocolate with more chocolate. Okay maybe that’s a little too much chocolate, then have a look at their Mighty Milkshake menu as well, which is priced at RM20.80 per mug, and comes in basic flavors like smores, cookies and cream, brownies, and not so common flavors such as salted caramel and popcorn.

For Taiwanese Jianbing
Don’t sleep on Mandopop king Jay Chou’s franchise of what at first looks to be fancy Roti Canai. This in fact is not Roti Canai and is a Taiwanese sandwich called “Jianbing”, which is the main focus at Liang Sandwich Bar. Try their signature Liang Chicken(RM10.30), which is the aforementioned Jianbing with chicken, ham and lettuce with a special sauce, it also comes in Mexican style bbq chicken, Black pepper chicken, and even chicken bolognaise.

For Ban Mee With Explosive Meatballs
Too many sweet snacks? Looking for an actual meal? Something savory instead? Have some Ban Mee! This is a well known eatery and is famous for their Ban Mee. Both dry and wet Ban Mee are available here. Try their Superiors soup Ban Mee for something wet, and their Trio Special Dark Sauce Ban Mee for something dry. Both Ban Mee Cost RM10.50. You can also order their fish and meat balls. Try their bursting meatball (RM3.80), which as its name suggests, has a filling that will burst out the minute you bite into it.

For Deep Fried Whole Squid
Don’t worry about travelling abroad, you can have a bite of Taiwan right here with Squid Boy. Emulating popular Taiwanese food streets like Huaxi, and Shilin, Squid boy serves up deep fried chicken and squid. We recommend their Giant Squid set (RM19.80) or Giant Chicken Set (Rm12.70). Both sets come with 1 drink, which you can pick from a selection of passion fruit, calamansi, lemonade or winter melon juice. The chicken and squid come in either original, spicy, seaweed, thai sweet chilli, bonito fish salad, honey mustard or for the brave, wasabi.

Aside from these eateries, Paradigm has fast food joints like Subway as well as two food courts, Food Arcade at level 4 mezzanine, and Lao Zi Hao at the upper ground level. You’ll never go hungry while here.
