Visit Disneyland Resort: MagicBand+

  Not too many people had  MagicBand+  at Disneyland Resort, from what I noticed, but that didn't stop us from getting them.   You can use the MagicBand+ to scan into the entry gates or scan your Lightning Lane passes.  No need to take out your phone and open up the Disneyland app or your photos app for a screenshot of your admission ticket or Lightning Lane pass.  It's easy to sync the MagicBand+ to everyone in your party through the Disneyland app. It's rechargeable, and one full charge is supposed to last 1-3 days, but we'd charge them at the end of each night.

Visit Hong Kong: Paradise Dynasty

After a long morning of exploring, we went to Citygate Outlets and had a late lunch at Paradise Dynasty.

Snacks
Upon being seated, we were given some snacks (they were not complimentary).

Crispy Spring Roll

Deep Fried Scallion Pastry
I love the Deep Fried Scallion Pastry.  It's a new fave for our family.  One of my kids loved it so much he asked me to try and make it at home!

Signature Dynasty Xiao Long Bao


The Signature Dynasty Xiao Long Bao features 8 different flavors that you are supposed to eat in order, but since we all shared, we all tried different ones.  The flavors were (from middle, down and clockwise) Original, Luffa Gourd, Foie Gras, Black Truffle, Cheese, Crab Roe, Garlic, and Szechuan.  
Deep-Fried Pork Ribs
The Deep-Fried Pork Ribs had a mayonnaise sauce, and it was very tasty!
Shanghai Fried Rice

Pork Ribs with Plum Sauce
The sauce for this dish was reminiscent of li hing mui!
La Mian with Black Fungus
We had to have noodles!  The La Mian was delicious.  
Sliced Pork in Minced Garlic

Ma Po Tofu

I always enjoy ordering Ma Po Tofu, and this dish did not disappoint.

Everything we ordered was full of flavor, and the dishes came out quite quickly.  Service was good, and Paradise Dynasty turned out to be a great spot for lunch!
