Din Tai Fung 鼎泰豊 (Great World)

First time seeing and eating this dish in Din Tai Fung. Nice as the meat were crispy and not too fat. Definitely another best seller on the menu

I’m in two minds about the angled gourd and prawn xiao long bao ($12 for 10). Don’t get me wrong, it’s well made and has its own charms. But it is definitely one for those days when you’ve maybe already had regular meat XLBs the day before or the meal before! I don’t eat a lot of pork but I think it’s a travesty not to order the Din Tai Fung classic pork XLB. Next time for sure. : )

Dou Miao is one of those veggies that could be hard to prepare well, turning out chewy and making you feel like a cow chewing cud! Happy to report that the Dou Miao ($12) here is well stir-fried to a fragrant bright greenness that goes down easily. I wanted to order another plate of it!

Stewed beancurd in honey sauce ($6). The name of the dish hardly does justice to it. Comprising at least 5 ingredients - beancurd, black fungus, bamboo shoot, shiitake mushrooms and stewed peanuts, this makes you feel quite virtuous and healthy as you eat it. : ))

We did takeaway for this and ordered some fried rice, pork buns and of course, xiao long bao. Not the same as eating in the restaurant, of course, but it is better than nothing!
