Judging by its crowds, Paradise Dynasty (4/F, Siam Paragon, Bangkok, 082-338-9999) is a strong new contender for Cantonese cuisine in town. Interestingly, this Singapore franchise decided on a casual dining vibe for this Bangkok branch as opposed to the rather lavish décor on show at outlets back home. Recommended dishes include the xiao long bao (B285) in eight flavors like black truffle, foie gras and garlic, homemade noodles with beef in Szechuan style (B235) and pork dumpling with chili sauce (B125).
