Its xiao long bao comes in eight international flavors, whose colors were inspired by the classic French macaron, the colorful, meringue-based dessert that was a fave of the restaurant founders every time they visited Paris. Unsurprisingly, two of the XLBs have a touch of French flavor: black truffle and foie gras. Eight delightful xiao long bao in one basket at Paradise Dynasty restaurant: The original flavor, ginseng, crab roe, cheese, garlic, Szechuan, black truffle and foie gras. For me, the best is the black truffle XLB because the manner of properly eating a xiao long bao lets you fully appreciate the black truffle’s taste and aroma. * * *Paradise Dynasty is located at S Maison in Conrad Hotel, The Podium Mall and SM Aura.
