Despite having eating at Din Tai Fung for years, we're still seeing ourselves ordering stuff from their menu for the first time. Like their soya bean milk which I'm guessing is pretty new because we haven't noticed it before. Not a bad one and I hope it stays on menu.
Not this...hahaha! We've been having these 素菜蒸饺 almost every time we've been here for a while now.
Did not expect to find sweet and sour pork at Din Tai Fung. Think they're relative new on the menu. The flavour was unexpectedly old school and nicely done with chunks of fat laced fried pork.
First time ordering the egg fried rice without anything else.
First time getting crab meat & pork xiao long bao (蟹粉小笼包). Not bad. The crab flavour in the dumplings made it more interesting than the regular xiao long bao which I've been avoiding.
There's something called mama mochi chocolate xiao long bao on a limited time availability. Xlb that's filled with scalding hot chocolate. What set these apart from other molten chocolate dumplings/cakes were that these tasted like hot chocolate and there's chilled salted cream on the side you could eat them with.
Said salted cream is pretty salty, but they pair well with the chocolate xlb. These are freaking good.
