Paradise Inn Lunch sets
Since I always eat with my girl, it's tough for me to find quality chinese food at affordable prices. There just seems to be a lack of afforable chinese resturants that caters to two people.Thankfully, Paradise Inn recently released an individual lunch set menu where you get to sample a little bit of everything. There are four fixed menu and you get a choice of soup.
I chose the summer menu which came with smoked duck, wasabi prawns, 3-egg chinese spinach and stirred fried HK noodles, and my soup of choice was pork ribs with sea whelk Everything on this menu was good, but the real star in this place is their double boiled soup. The soup is extremely tasty and the ribs are boiled till really tender. I think the special ingredient is dried oysters.
The girlfriend had the autumn menu as she wanted to eat something with rice. The autumn menu had seafood fried rice, sweet and sour pork, pork floss prawns and poached lettuce. her soup of choice was yellow melon. I didn't like the lettuce but everything else was good as well.
Special mention should go out to the add on drink. We had the passionfruit with lemongrass tea and it was really refreshing and a great compliment to the meal.
It's unfortunate that we forgot to take pictures as the presentation is quite elegant without looking overly chi-chi. It is real value for money for people who want to try a little of everything. 4.5/10
