writing is a form of THERAPY

Sometimes you can only wish. Wish for things that are never there. Hope for things you will never get.

But sometimes..

Believing will be alot better than wishing.

I wish.. Wish upon the Wishing Tree.

A smile

My visit to Ding Tai Fung 鼎泰豐 was full of surprises. I cant believe it took me this long to find out how wonderful Din Tai Fung is.

Anyway, it wasnt my first visit to this famous Taiwanese restaurant that's internationally well-known for its xiao long bao (steamed pork dumplings). Here is the Story behind this popular restaurant.


The trademark of the Din Tai Fung xiao long bao is the 18 exquisite folds on each dumpling. I counted, and true to their promise, there really were 18 folds.

the skin of each dumpling was nice and thin, yet held up well when grappled unceremoniously. Soup within each dumpling was deliciously warm and savoury.

My favourite Pork chop fried rice. Crispy pork chop topped on the fragrantly fried rice. Just like the Hongkong 茶餐厅 style.

Special Braised Beef Noodle Soup


酸辣汤

You will always be served with a smile. Even the tea lady will smile and say : "不好意思, 请慢用."

Overall, the standard of the food at Din Tai Fung was high, and the dishes were obviously prepared with quality ingredients. I did feel that the portions were on the small side, making the prices seem high in comparison, but still affordable. It's the place to go if you're looking for quality, not quantity.
