Experience with Lots Gourmet Stop

The food was great, servers was cool and prompt. One of the top best cafe that I will frequent...

But the operating hour during the weekdays is short and long during the weekend..

Mon - Fri : 10am to 4pm

Sat - Sun : 10am to 10pm

Closed on PH...

But sometime it got to depends on the boss of Lots for the operating hour.

~ Paradise Dynasty ~

On the 5th of November, we had a celebration of my dad's 61st birthday. My 2nd sister recommended going to Paradise Dynasty at ION.

When we were sitted inside the restaurant, the server immediately informed us of the 1 an half hour of dining time. We were shocked and utter with words. This is the 1st time that someone told us there's dining schedule fixed by the restaurant. We had to look through the menu and ordered the food within 10 mins so we will have the time to slowly enjoy our food.

So these are what we ordered...

the front page of the menu

the simple setting

the very pathetic ginger for the Xiao Long Bao

One of the best... Sour & Spicy La Mian

Pork Slice La Mian

The Original Xiao Long Bao

(Not that fantastic as compared to the food review)

Pretty disappointed

Their 8 wonders Xiao Long Bao

Their skin has different taste

"Hong Yu Chao Shou" Spicy Dumplings. Nice cos spicy enough

Vege is well stir-fried.

One of the disappointment. Shanghai Sheng Jian Bao. Its cold when its served.

Take a peek in it. The skin too thick.. Not much fillings.. No gravy in it....

Not a kind of Shanghai Sheng Jian Bao that i'm looking for.

Stir-fried Nian Gao. This is one of the best.

Stir-fried La Mian. It was cold when served.. Disappointment

Jiu Nia Wan Zi. A Shanghai Dessert. Another disappointment.

Experience with Paradise Dynasty

Experience with Paradize Dynasty isn't that great, maybe due to the shortage of manpower. The 1.5hr of dining schedule that we need to stick to really shocked us. We got to try to leave that place within 1.5hr which includes ordering of food, waiting for the food to be served and cake cutting session.

Some of the food served are already cold but we want to stick to the 1.5hrs so we just continue with it.

The Shanghai Dessert, I've asked the waitress to serve me the dessert, waited for 15 mins, it wasn't serve yet and she's standing behind me dazing until I asked her the 2nd time, then it was served within 5 mins.

If I ever visit there again, I will only order the La Mian with soup.

~ Peony Jade @ Keppel Club ~

On the October 19, 2010, the 1st birthday celebration with my hubby. We went to Peony Jade for dinner celebration with his family and our donkey boy. The servers there were prompt, especially the Manager, Francis. When we were wondering which dish to order, Francis just suddenly popped out and recommend us their signature dishes.

Here are some of the dishes that we ordered:

Their Soup of the Day...

Smoked Duck with tea leaf. Their Signature Dish

Recommended by the Manager... Mei Cai Kou Rou

Prawn with Creamy Yolk.. Their Signature Dish

Their Tofu with Seafood....

The Vege very crispy...

The Steam HK style Grouper with light superior sauce...

Experience with Peony Jade @ Keppel Club
The food there was really fantastic.. Definitely a place for any celebration, family dinner, etc....

The servers were very attentive, same to their manager. When we asked for recommendation, they will answer us promptly, told us what the day's special dishes.
