Legendary 8-Flavor "Rainbow" Xiaolongbao Soup Dumplings by Paradise Dynasty (Specialty Dynasty Xiǎolóngbāo 小籠包)

Legendary 8-Flavor "Rainbow" Xiaolongbao  by Paradise Dynasty, Phnom Penh, Cambodia When I first moved to Bangkok over a decade ago, one of my favorite restaurants when I wanted to treat myself was Paradise Dynasty, a Singaporean chain known for their legendary colorful xiaolongbao , or soup dumplings, each offering a different flavor experience. I was very sad when the branch in Bangkok closed, so imagine my delight when, on a recent trip to Cambodia , I found a branch in Phnom Penh . Paradise Dynasty takes what was once a humble Shanghainese comfort food and transforms it into a tasting menu of Chinese culinary tradition. The famous 8-flavor xiaolongbao set features a rainbow of soup dumplings which guide your palate through increasingly bold flavors meant to evoke the dynasties and diverse regions of China.
