Din Tai Fung is known world wide for its quality food, exceptional services, and of course, the Xiao Long Bao (steamed dumplings). It has come a long way since 1958 and has branched out in Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, USA, and many other countries. Since it's originally from Taiwan, Din Tai Fung was definitely a must for me, especially since I absolutely love dim sum.

It definitely shows that the Xiao Long Bao is the specialty of Din Tai Fung. They have an open kitchen where guests are invited to watch the chefs at work. They pay very close attention to detail and cleanliness. 
The open kitchen. They have so many chefs making just Xiao Long Bao

They even have an instruction card  to teach the guests how to eat the Xiao Long Bao properly.

Just remembering this makes me drool!
But it doesn't stop there. Din Tai Fung has so much more to offer aside from their famed Xiao Long Bao.
Shanghai Style Soy Sprouts $65NT
Shrimp and Pork Pot Sticker $120NT for 6 pieces
Spicy Vegetable and Ground Pork Wonton $140NT for 8 pieces
Braised Beef Soup $190NT
It's no wonder why Din Tai Fung has earned these awards:
1. One of the Top 10 Restaurants of the World, the New York Times 1993
2. One Michelin Star, Din Tai Fung Hong Kong 2010


Everything was exceptional, from the Xiao Long Bao to the beef soup to the ambiance and the excellent service. It's definitely a must visit restuarant.
