Din Tai Fung at Tampines Mall is highly popular. If you are dining in a big group, go very early (4plus in the afternoon) or very late (8plus). The peak hour is usually from 5-7plus in the evening. The queue is not too bad if you go in twos. But just be prepared to queue otherwise.

Tried out their traditional steamed layer cake for the first time. It is pale yellow in colour and the layers are clearly obvious, reminding me of kueh lapis (but definitely not as dense/ oily as kueh lapis).

The steamed layer cake here is moist, very soft, and I could peel the layers off, layer by layer. The cake is smooth, yet slightly chewy. The texture reminds me of warm bread that is still chewy, albeit a bit softer.

Subtly sweet, this is a delightful snack!
