“Sweet Paradise” Dim Sum Restaurant
September 3, 2006
Stumble it!
Heeding recommendations from my colleagues, I decided to try a restaurant in Butterworth hailed to serve dim sum better than Penang island. The exact location of the restaurant was unclear to me so I spent half an hour looking for it. Prior to that I only knew it was behind HSBC and the police station..
“Sweet Paradise” 超全 Dim Sum Restaurant is located opposite Pasar Sri Bandar in Bagan Baru, Butterworth. For a dim sum restaurant it is certainly huge, able to accomodate at least 60-70 people at any time.
One will need to get their dim sum from a counter which is manned by a guy who looks so alike to Jackie Chan’s son.. Jaycee. He had posed but I was too busy taking other pictures, and when I really wanted to take his photo, he was too shy already lol. Nice guy la, re-heated my dim sum when I asked him to 
Besides steamed dim sum, pastries and fried dim sum are up for grabs. The egg tarts certainly looked nice and crispy :drool:
Almost all the dim sum served had prawns in them.. From the top, L-R: Minced meat/vegetable on dried seaweed, Har Kao, 3 different siu mai in a small bowl, Minced meat wrapped in dried seaweed, Seafood tofu topped siumai and clams. FYI the clam shells were not re-used, because they really contained clam flesh. Among all, what I liked most was the Har Kao, the prawns were really juicy and fresh, definitely the best I have tasted so far. The bill was surprisingly cheap, RM22 inclusive of a pot of tea.

When you reach the junction before the ferry terminal, take the right turn and look for the small road between the post office and police station (they are on your right) Turn into the small road and you will see a big market, it cannot be missed. Just opposite the market, is “Sweet Paradise” already. Happy hunting!
