Taste:Xiao Long Bao 小籠包 - Came in a batch of 6. They looked quite flat when they came. Vinegar is at the side and you get your own little sauce dish with shredded ginger in it. I used the chopsticks to pick the Xiao Long Bao 小籠包 up, and it did not burst. So the skin is well made. Dipped it into the vinegar and putted in my mouth all at once and it fitted nicely. It wasnt boiling hot so it did not burn me when I bited into it. I liked the taste of it, with a rich meat taste BUT there was hardly any juice/soup in it. It was all dried out. There was only little juice in it. I was highly disappointed.
Noodles mixed in sesame and Peanut sauce 台式擔擔撈麵 This came first, and the noodles looked very well made. You can see how visible each strand of noodles are. The soup is rich and thick. But is not as thick so you can still drink the whole soup. Only thing is the noodles seem to be just putted on top of the soup, so not all together. The noodles wasnt cut either, so they became very long. The soup wasnt as spicy as I have had before but it was still good with peanuts on top. Portion wasnt very big, I dont think it was enough to fill two people up. The bowl looked really big but not enough.
Steamed Chinese-style layer cake 千層油糕 This has always been my favourite dish from Din Tai Fung. I had this before when it first opened. Portions arent big but very satisfying. If you are looking for something sweet as a dessert then I would not recommend you this, as the taste is quite subtle and not sweet at all. The texture is squishy, and soft, but as it has layers of it, it has this bouncy texture but nmot chewy. I love it esp it comes steaming hot. It has this hakka dumpling/cakes taste which I ike. And I have not seen or eaten this at other restaurants. I love this
Conclusion: This is 3rd time I have tried Din Tai Fung. First time, I was not impressed esp I have heard about the rave from this restaurant and lined up 1.5 hours for this place. Their Xiao lung bau is wayyyyyyy OVER RATED. The Xiao Lung bau from Gum moon ting is WAYYYYY better, more in the portion, juicier and tastier. Second time I had was at taiwan where it was originated from. It was better than Hong Kong, but still wasnt above average. Third time was today and I still dont understand why there is such a huge queue. For what, I would like to know.Xiao lung bau comes in ONLY 6 when they come in 9 in Taiwan, they are small, dry and not juicy at all. The noodles are average, their menu is limited. I have had tastier and better overall rating. You must have their tea which is 6 hk dollars each, and they dont even let you choose what type of tea. It is a huge restaurant, but you still manage to qeue for half an hour, but it has already improved, maybe from decline of popularity? First time I needed queue for 1.5 hour. The waitresses were all in a rush, did not seem welcoming. everytime we finish, or near finish, they quickly took away my dishes. I am not impressed. Giving it 3 chances to prove themself is more than enough. Wont be coming back
