Bursts of flavour at Din Tai Fung!

The most delightful Taiwanese food, ever!

The more I say about the experience of having xiao long bao at Hong Kong's Din Tai Fung, the more convinced I become that this is something no words can do justice to. It has to be eaten experienced to be truly appreciated. In the mean time, I'll let the pictures do the talking!





I must stop myself before I go overboard and give you the impression that the xiao long bao is the only thing worth having at Din Tai Fung. Their food in general is consistently good and the prawn and noodle soup has a soothing effect.


I also totally love their spicy prawn wantons. The chilli and soya oil used in the wantons makes for a great accompaniment to the soup noodles adding that burst of spice that I love.


The dessert of strawberries in almond syrup was equally stunning although I wonder if it will appeal to an Indian palate. 

Vishal, my husband, and I first visited Din Tai Fung on a Saturday, went back on Sunday, then again next Sunday. And again two weeks later when my father-in-law was in town. And we are going back to Din Tai Fung with my sister and dad sometime this week!

This Michelin starred restaurant cannot be given a miss when visiting Hong Kong!
