SIN: Paradise Classic [Delivery]

Deliciously sweet imperial pork ribs!

Managed by the Paradise Group, Paradise Classic aims to get everyone to "appreciate nostalgic tastes in modern times." At the point of writing, there are three branches of Paradise Classic. I've never dined in at any one of them, but I ordered some dishes from the branch at Marina Bay Link Mall from the comfort of my home.


Rice Set E S$14.80
Imperial Pork Ribs - Taste: 8.5/10
Sliced Fish with Ginger and Spring Onion - Taste: 8/10
French Beans - Taste: 7.5/10

The restaurant offers value-for-money rice sets that allow you to sample some of the dishes in one go without having to order them separately. I had egg fried rice with succulent pork ribs, as well as fresh sliced fish with an adequate amount of ginger and spring onions that made the dish fragrant. The stir-fried French beans with preserved turnips and dried shrimps were tasty, but I was hoping for the greens to be crunchier.


Stewed Pork Belly Served with Lotus Bun S$6.40
Taste: 8/10

As if the main course wasn't enough, I also had the sinful Hokkien classic of stewed pork belly topped with coriander leaves. The meat was tender with a nice aroma of ngo hiang (Chinese five-spice powder consisting of cloves, star anise, fennel seeds, cinnamon and Sichuan pepper), going well with the fluffy buns.


Coconut Sago with Glutinous Rice Dumplings S$4.00
Taste: 8/10

I rarely order a dessert dish from home, but I just wanted to have something warm and sweet that evening. The rice dumplings were delectably chewy, while the sago pearls weren't too small in size for my liking. They were swimming in coconut cream that had a nice consistency without being excessively rich in taste.

Melon's Rating
Taste: 8/10

Has anyone of you booked a table for Chinese New Year reunion dinner at Paradise Classic? Pika's advice: Since the restaurant is famous for its double-boiled soup variants, you may want to order some.

SIN: Yoshinoya

Trying it again in Singapore after years! Yoshinoya is the second largest chain of gyudon (lit. beef bowl) restaurants in Japan. Although its first shop opened in Tokyo, the name of the chain actually pays homage to the former town of Yoshino in Osaka Prefecture where its founder hailed from. After years of giving Yoshinoya in Singapore a miss, I recently found myself revisiting one of its branches at Bugis Junction.

SIN: Flipper's

Pancake x  soufflé originated from Tokyo! Hailing from Japan, Flipper's is a chain café renowned for its fluffy, jiggly soufflé pancakes. While I've never had the chance to try the pancakes in its country of origin, I was excited to finally experience them at the Westgate branch here in Singapore, which has been drawing long lines of eager patrons.

Surprisingly rich chocolate mousse! Here's the last post to wrap up the travel to the Americas. After travelling in the Business Class cabin from Panama City, it was time to head to the back of the plane for the next leg of the journey from Istanbul, Turkey to Singapore. Despite the more modest comfort, the food wasn't too shabby.
