Paradise Dynasty Singapore Prices – 8-Flavour XLB & Full Menu
Eight dumplings. Eight colours. Eight flavours, eaten in a prescribed order from mild to wild. The Paradise Dynasty menu Singapore turned the humble xiao long bao into edible theatre — and more than a decade later, the rainbow basket at around S$16.80 is still the order that defines the restaurant.
Xiao long bao devotees usually keep Din Tai Fung’s classic 18-fold dumplings in the rotation as the purist alternative, while Cantonese-style dim sum fans might cross over to the Canton Paradise menu from the same Paradise Group family.
Below: the full Paradise Dynasty menu with approximate SGD prices — the legendary 8-flavour xiao long bao, la mian and noodles, appetizers, mains, desserts — plus the correct eating order and answers to the questions every first-timer asks.

Paradise Dynasty Prices in Singapore
A comfortable dinner runs S$30–45 per person including the rainbow XLB basket. The imperial-style dining rooms at Funan, Suntec City, PLQ and VivoCity make it a cut above the average dumpling house. Prices are approximate and may vary by outlet; delivery prices may differ.
Ordering Like a Regular at Paradise Dynasty
There is a correct way to eat the 8-flavour xiao long bao, and the menu practically begs you to follow it: start with the Original (white) in the centre, then move clockwise through Ginseng (green), Foie Gras (brown), Black Truffle (black), Cheese (yellow), Crab Roe (orange), Garlic (grey) and finish with Szechuan (pink). The flavours are engineered to intensify in that order, so the delicate ginseng never has to compete with the Szechuan heat. At S$16.80 for eight pieces it is also the cheapest guided tasting on the menu.
Beyond the dumplings, the supporting cast deserves attention. The charcoal custard lava buns — black shells giving way to salted-egg-yolk custard — are the sleeper hit regulars reorder, and the radish pastry (3 pieces) is the flaky starter that converts sceptics. For mains, the sliced fish in pickled vegetable broth (S$17.80) and the braised pork belly with Spanish chestnut-fed pork (S$33.80) show the kitchen’s range beyond the steamer. Note the house pour is pu-er tea only, so tea drinkers get a single, well-chosen option.
Value-wise, Paradise Dynasty sits a notch above Din Tai Fung pricing but justifies it with invention — where else do foie gras and black truffle share a steamer basket with the original? Outlets at VivoCity, Ion Orchard, Funan and Wisma Atria keep it accessible islandwide. Go at lunch on weekdays for the calmest experience; the VivoCity branch’s Sentosa-facing windows are the best seats in the house.
