Was wandering around C-Bay thinking of what to have for dinner... Tenz suggested we go try out Ding Tai Feng. Yup, we had a nice meal in their TP shop, let's see if they are any good after coming to Hong Kong.Ordered some simple dishes. Let's go through them one by one.Flavors are ok, marinated into the core of the veggies. Obviously pre-made, but why can't they get it a bit hotter? Had an order of normal ones and the ones with crab. Now I must say, I had high hopes for this. In the TP Sh

Had an order of normal ones and the ones with crab. Now I must say, I had high hopes for this. In the TP Shop, on a nice day they made this absolutely fabulous - thin skin, juicy, full scent, hot - that's why I was slightly disappointed with the HK shop. It was hot, it was juicy, but the scent just don't stand out. Other than being slightly sweeter (from the crab meat inside), I find no great difference between the crab one and the normal one. Yet they charge you more!!
Also, the "head" of the xiao long bao (where they twist the dough together) is quite chunky - another point gone. Not even that little local shop down the road makes such a mistake. Hmph.
The skin is thin alright - but the content is too blended. I would have expected sth more chewy. But the flavors are ok - esp the soy sauce.
Hardly anything to say about the pork chop...
Overall speaking, the food is quite standard - of course, good standard that is. Yet I cannot feel they have put any heart into making the food tastes better. It is all just under the roof of "Ding Tai Feng" and people seem happy enough. Maybe there are other reasons that are hindering them? Sorry but I am just a diner, I would be too shallow to understand any of that...
At this price... I still opt for 金滿庭. At least you get the occasional "Wow" factor. Here?
"Yeah, nth spesh."
