Taste Paradise at ION Singapore

I used to walk pass the Taste Paradise at Mosque Street, but never had the chance to try it. I finally had the chance to try Taste Paradise, though not the one at Mosque Street, but the more upmarket one in ION.  Thanks to one of my department head, CK.

A group of us went there for dinner, mainly because CK liked the Peking Duck.  We started our dinner with smoked salmon as appertiser.  Kind of strange for Chinese restaurant.  Maybe I am still stucked in the era of peanuts for chinese dinner.

Peking Duck.  As in most places, they would push the duck to prepare it in front of you, and they also helped you to roll it up nicely once they were done with skinning the duck.  It was quite good.  Crispy and not too oily.  However, my heart still goes to the Best Peking Duck (to me at least) - The Da Dong Duck in Beijing.  Other than Da Dong's Duck waas crisper, you also got to do it youself.  You rolled the skin, and could selected how many pieces of skin you wanted (this is important!  You can make youself a jumbo roll), and you can choose how much sauce you wanted. 
Taste Paradise's Peking Duck was decent, but pretty normal.

Next dish was this greeny thing, the wasabi prawns.  Though I am not supposed to eat prawns, I ate one to try it.  Wasabi was liek sort of gravy, "wrapping" the prawns.  I thought while it was tasty, it lacked the powerful oomph of the wasabi that you normally have when you had wasabi.  The kind of oomph that went though your nose and hit you.

This was one of my favourite dish, spinach with 3 different kind of eggs- Salted eggs, Century eggs and eggs.  It was like a soup, yet thicker than soup! 

Beancurd with mushroom.  Pretty normal.  This was a tofu dish with mushrooms. Average, I think Crystal Jade and Jumbo did a better job in this comparement.

These were the remaining of the duck that was stirred fried.  Cabbage were provided to wrap the the meat to neutralize the taste and it was rather salty. 

Here comes the dessert.  This was mango sago, though i liked the way it was served.  There was dry ice at the side and gave it the effect.
