The homemade wantons are done very plump with smooth and thin skin, but I’d personally like the meat filling to be just a tiny bit fattier for that juiciness.
Between the homemade wanton and housemade pork balls, I prefer the latter! You can try them as a topping with your noodles.
Had Mian Jia twice in 2 weeks - I’m so sad to have just discovered them, as they have finalised closure on 27 Aug 🥺

My picks from these 2 visits are their Pickled Veg Fish Fillet Tonkotsu Soup and the Singapore-style Crispy Crusted Chicken Cutlet, both with their Special Sauce Dry Noodle (aka scallion oil noodles). The dry noodles are my fav, it’s EXTRA FRAGRANT and they top it off with bonito flakes which gives an extra delicate smokiness. Their base Tonkotsu broth is creamy and rich. Please come by to try!
Osmanthus mussels are unlike the usual mussels that we are more familiar with. They are softer with a bit of a chew and have an impressively light crunch. The earthiness from the matsutake mushrooms paired with Chinese yam, spring white asparagus, fresh lily bulb petals and their housemade truffle sauce was delicious.

Though the truffle fragrance was stronger than its flavour, we enjoyed how it allowed d the rest of the ingredients to shine better! They use a housemade truffle sauce to fry the rice, topped with sakura shrimps, chopped asparagus and diced fresh mushrooms. On top, there’s chunks of Boston lobster meat.

Limited time new dishes at Taste Paradise as they welcome the Spring season! This was our favourite dish of the night. It’s prepared in Szechuan style, with a gravy packing a comfortable level of heat and numbness. The fish fillets were tender and you’ll find springy potato vermicelli hidden underneath, that soaked up the broth so nicely!

Enjoyed these dumplings! They were packed nicely, with a juicy sweet chicken and shrimp filling. The pops of roe on top gave that needed extra crunch.
Unfortunately done too under-seasoned. Texture of the rice was not as fluffy as we would have liked and lacked fragrance, though we appreciated the generous amount of eggs fried in. This dish is part of Dim Sum Haus’ CNY menu.
Rabbit-shaped puddings to welcome the Rabbit Year! 😂 These are jiggly soft and made of red beans. A little too sweet for my liking, but something children might like. This dish is part of Dim Sum Haus’ CNY menu.
These were lightly pan fried on both sides and the rice cakes were soft and chewy. Was quite a nice snack, though I was hoping for a sweet dip for it to be paired with. This dish is part of Dim Sum Haus’ CNY menu.
One of our table’s favourites was the Crispy Shrimp and Mango Roll. It came piping hot and was done with a thin crispy exterior and a well-sized shrimp.
Dim Sum Haus is ready for CNY with their newly launched CNY menu! Apart from 9 types of noodles, rice and dim sum dishes, there’s also our CNY staple - yu sheng, available for order. Dim Sum Haus does theirs with abalones, and the one here is the big portion suitable for 6-10 pax, while the smaller portion is at $48.80 and feeds 3-5 pax.
This is another dish familiar in last Lunar New Year’s menu, but with an improved recipe. The chicken is marinated with five-spice powder, air-dried and roasted. The meat was tender, but would have preferred much crispier skin. It's served with an in-house chilli sauce made with seven types of Yunnan's chillies and a salt and pepper dry dip which were helpful in elevating the flavours.
