With Paradise Dynasty’s newest location in Greenbelt 5, diners in Makati can experience a taste of delight
For hearty, fragrant Chinese fare with healthy dashes of contemporary Szechuan sparkle, make your way to Paradise Dynasty to experience a meal rooted in soulful tradition. Known for a menu comprising Northern and Southern Chinese cuisine, this establishment (hailing from Singapore), presents a menu peppered with flavourful surprises and sought-after classics alike. They launched their first branch in Singapore in 2010, thankfully making their way to the Philippines by 2016, having since opened four locations, including their newest Greenbelt 5 shop. At each and every global branch, Paradise Dynasty proudly takes diners on a gastronomic journey through one of the world’s oldest food cultures.

At Greenbelt 5, diners will first notice that the interiors are strikingly different from their other locations in SM Podium, SM Aura or S Maison, mainly attributed to its lighter and airer feel and views of the green Greenbelt gardenscape. The restaurant’s interiors are simple yet artfully detailed with traditional Chinese elements that have been given a much more contemporary spin. S Maison’s location dons a darker interior design aesthetic with a palate of black, brown, grey and gold, while SM Aura’s on the other hand is more youthfull and whimsical with pops of blue. At Greenbelt 5 on the other hand, the new interior design conveys subtle sophistication, delivering a more posh feel in comparison to its counterparts. Here, the walls are cream with gold trimming, and warm orange chairs.

The newly opened branch boasts four VIP rooms which serve as no-brainer options for all types of occasions. Make a reservation for your next office get-together, catch up with friends, or special family celebrations too. From the main dining hall to the private dining rooms, the Greenbelt 5 branch (its largest one yet) was created to thoughtfully cater to the needs of a range of diners.
Patrons flock here to order their signature eight-colour xio long bao with a decadent range of refined flavours. Take your pick from rich and earthy black truffle, to a rich cheese, salty crab roe, fragrant garlic, or the more bold Szechuan and Korean kimchi dumplings and treat yourself to a memorable and picture-worthy meal. Each treasured xiao long bao in the Paradise Dynasty basket has distinct vibrant colours, all of which are extracted from natural ingredients.

Although lauded for their stunning eight-coloured xiao long bao, be sure not to miss out on their menu of authentic dishes that pay tribute to Chinese culinary tradition. Their stir-fried shredded pork in black bean sauce with Chinese crêpes is homey yet sophisticated. Their new crispy pork chop delivers a beautiful range of texture, from its crunchy toasted exterior to its pink and juicy centre. Paradise Dynasty also introduced a new speciality fish in pickled vegetable broth; its delicate meaty flesh paired with a well-balanced touch of acid from its dressing does not disappoint. In addition to that, try out their stir-fried pork ribs in honey sauce, and chilled snow fungus with peach resin to complete your feast and satisfy your senses.
While food takes centre stage, giving Paradise Dynasty its soul, the restaurant makes sure that service and ambience are brought to the fore as well. With attentive staff that truly care about your dining experience and a new refined location smack in the middle of the central business district, what’s not to love? Make your reservation and let us know which dish stands out to you.
