Yummy Adventures

When my friends asked me what I’d like to do for my birthday, my answer was simple.

I wanted a luxurious dimsum buffet lunch, and gobble xiao long bao ( steamed dumplings with soup stock inside ). Yes, I am the xiao long bao monster. I love dimsum, and it would be heaven on earth if I could just indulge in such for a day!

I was looking at Cherry Garden because I was told that dimsum buffet there was heaven, and my friends wanted to surprise me with lunch on my birthday. I didn’t even hear my friend mention the place we were going to, to the cab driver. I was guessing Marina Mandarin’s Peach Blossoms as a close second choice of mine, and when I saw that the cab was approaching Marina Mandarin, I rejoiced, ” I knew it! Peach Blossoms at Marina Mandarin!” I think my friends really wanted to surprise me, so they purposely steered away from Cherry Garden. Haha! I’m so not complaining!

This entry is a bit overdue, but let me still blog about it because my experience dining in this resto was just unforgettable.

The Paramount is a restaurant located inside The Paramount Hotel, located in East Coast Road, Singapore. As we entered the vicinity, it was full of quiet shops and bars which were closed during noontime, and it wasn’t lively and bright at all - as compared to other establishments in Singapore. But then, as we reached the end of the ground floor ( walking further ), then, we finally saw the busy atmosphere of the usual Chinese restaurant on a Sunday lunch - waitresses running around, buffet tables, tables of families in their warm chatter, oh, it seemed like home.

Dimsum in The Paramount is only served during lunchtime, and we did not avail of the dimsum buffet since we wanted to order other food. But then, the dimsum served were really, really tres delicious. Can I say heaven?
