So my buddy was visiting from New York City for an Asian tour and since he had been to Din Tai Fung (鼎泰豐) in Taipei and Shanghai in this trip it only made sense for him to go to the Hong Kong branch as well. Since I live on HK Island I decided to take him to the new Causeway Bay branch.Environment: I think the Tsim Sha Tsui branch is nicer. The Causeway branch is more casual and the seats are placed closer together. Still pretty comfortable. Service: Service was pretty good but when I ordered an
Environment: I think the Tsim Sha Tsui branch is nicer. The Causeway branch is more casual and the seats are placed closer together. Still pretty comfortable.
Service: Service was pretty good but when I ordered an extra meat & vegetable bun (菜肉包) they got it wrong initially. Food came quickly. If I had to be tough I would still say the service at the Tsim Sha Tsui branch is better.
Food: We definitely over-ordered so my friend could try everything:
Soy Bean Milk (豆漿) - Their soy bean milk is quite nice. Smooth and lightly flavored. Nice way to start the meal.
Xiao Long Bao (小籠包) - Couldn't come to Din Tai Fung (鼎泰豐) without eating this. Their Xiao Long Bao is always flavorful (meat and broth inside). The dumpling skin is light and thin. Great.
Meat and Vegetable Bun (菜肉包) - Pretty good. Meat and vegetables were pretty tasty. The bun itself is also relatively light and fluffy. I prefer the Meat and Vegetable Buns (菜肉包) in Taipei though mainly because the filling (especially the vegetables) are chopped a lot finer in Taipei which makes the texture better in my opinion.
Vegetable & Meat Won Tons (菜肉餛飩) - Nothing super special but still pretty good. Hearty and filling.
Dan Dan Noodles (台式擔擔撈麵) - Also pretty good. My father's family is originally from Northern China so I kind of prefer my dan dan noodles to be a little dryer and meaty but the ones here are pretty good. Sauce was tasty and the noodles quite chewy. If you want better dan dan noodles I would probably suggest Wing Lai Yuen (詠藜園) in Hung Hom.
Egg & Pork Fried Rice (排骨蛋抄飯) - Never tried this before at Din Tai Fung but was pretty happy. A super simple dish but not that easy to do well. I could tell these people knew how to make a proper fried rice cause none of the rice stuck together (yet were coated properly). Pork was really tasty as well. Good dish.
Almond Tofu Fa (杏仁豆腐花) - I liked this. Tofu was smooth and light with a hint of almond taste. I personally think they should have more strawberries on top since it tasted the best when you got some strawberry with the tofu fa. Nice way to end the meal.
Overall a good meal. Honestly I think Din Tai Fung works for me mainly because the food is good, place is comfortable and price isn't all that expensive. Both my friend and I were happy about the food.
