Din Tai Fung in The Gardens had been around for quite sometime now. Everyone who had been there have positive comments about it especially about the scrumptious signature Xiao Long Bao but somehow i never attempted for a visit. Perhaps i had my doubts, some very popular restaurants doesn’t really live up to its name.
Last weekend however, curiosity finally got the better of me. After a successful shopping trip at Zara, we had a late dinner at Din Tai Fung. It was very well too that the place isn’t as crowded as usual at this late hour.
The service was good, staff polite and efficiently fast. But it did bother me that the eatery was so noisy that we had to shout at each other to be heard and the tables are set very near to the next. It’s very typical Taiwanese style. LOL.
Boyfriend suggested that we order for ala carte dishes with rice instead of noodles so we could try more dishes.
The first dish that came was the Vegetable and Pork Wantan in Superior Broth. I think there were 8 pieces in all, i can’t recall exactly. The big wantan with “kao choi” were pretty good, very heavy taste of vege and the broth really light and clear.
I’ll never regret getting their Xiao Long Bao either. It was superb, one of the best i’ve tasted. The Xiao Long Bao’s texture and shape was perfectly done with plenty of delicious soup in each of the small bao.
The platter of 6 is very reasonably priced too, at only RM9.80. Super deal there. Two thumbs up!
My favorite of the day i must say would be the Fried French Bean with Pork. I loved that they used french bean instead of long bean for this dish. French bean makes it extra crunchy.
This dish is especially fragrant because of the pork and dried shrimp. I couldn’t get enough!
Another dish we had was the “San Bei Ji” which is marinated chicken cooked in basil leaves. It’s very popular in Taiwan.
I’m quite sure there’s rice wine involved since i could obviously make out the taste. The rice wine makes it even more delectable. Plus the chicken absorbed the sauces like sponge making it tasty inside out.
It was a pleasant dinner at Din Tai Fung. Food was great and i was pleasantly surprised that the price is not really pricey for such a popular and international restaurant. Definitely wil go for another visit soon. ![]()
