My 3 friends just had a main rice/noodle item each, while I had a side dish and 2 meat items (since I had some snacks earlier, I am not going for the carbos) and a drink. I was a bit of shocked when the total price came up to $93. But when I recall, the drink and the meat items are approx $10 each and the main rice/noodle (not very big serving) also come to approx $15-$18 each.
I do like the food, a smoked duck and a beef yakitori, but I guess this is not a place for a Friday night friends gathering, for this kind of price.

First is the limited food list. Nowadays, a lot of restaurants have the standard Xiao Long Bao in their menu and their quality is not bad. And even though Ding Tai Fung have different types of Xiao Long Bao in their menu, I don't usually end up eating the other types, since everyone in the group will just pick their famous standard Xiao Long Bao as first choice and we end up with no stomach left for the other types.
One important dish I must highlight is their Suan La Tang. We had it once at Paragon when one of the credit cards offer it for free. It was NOT sour and NOT spicy. My friend end up pouring the chilli oil into the soup.
But I do like their Xiao Cai, especially I like sour things and their appetiser veg fits my taste, and their chicken soup (although I often have no stomach left for it after the Xiao Long Bao and noodle).
2nd negative is that my impression of the Paragon outlet is that there is always a long queue.

At first from the name, I thought the food would be very "beijing" which I heard was not very Sporean's type of cuisine. But I thought the dishes taste quite ok, probably a tailored version.
Our group wasn't very much into food tasting, so we were quite neutral to the food. However, we find the place decor quite relax.

My friends keep asking among ourselves why we are not served the tables with the tall-back chairs and for last month, we thought 2 of the waitresses forgot to wear an extra piece of clothing beneath their outer coat (their belly were showing) as compared to the other waitresses. And not to mention their "chopstick" hairpin, where one of my friend was wondering if any of the patrons ever pull it out from behind.
For the food, it was the 2nd time when I had fusion Chinese. But I thought it taste good. It wasn't just trying to be innovative, but it does give me a feeling that it is quality good.

But we find the dinner a bit expensive for the food. Their serving was individualised and looks small (although we do feel full at the end of the 4 course dessert). We had their Set Menu D and we do not feel it fantastic for a $108 dinner.
Maybe it was the cooking style, where they try to be innovative: "Chilled Beancurd with Japanese Sake Sauce accompanied with Sliced Barbecued Suckling Pig", "Braised Superior Whole Abalone with Truffle Sauce", "Deep-fried Fresh Water King Prawn Coated with Japanese Soya & Sake Sauce accompanied with Deep-fried Chinese Bun"; we don't find the food very much better than what we get from the other Chinese restuarants outside.
