Anyone DTF tonight?
Get your mind out of the gutter, I know what you're thinking!
Anyone DTF tonight? is a question all of us throw around back home. It means anyone Din Tai Fung tonight?
Din Tai Fung is an award-winning Michelin star-rated dumpling house from Taiwan that is my favorite restaurant in Singapore. They have outlets scattered around the world such as in Japan, Australia, US, Indonesia, and more. So, if you are drooling by the end of my post, find an outlet and haul yourself over there ASAP.

There is only one downside to eating here - they do not take reservations. Consequently, you have to wait for your number to be called and the wait can be a while.

DTF is known for their Xiaolongbao (soup dumplings). They are absolutely sensational. Each dumpling has 18 folds so when you are eating it you can feel all the different textures in your mouth. Every dumpling is juicy and plump and once you slurp the soup out of them the skin sort of melts in your mouth. The skin of the dumpling is thin yet securely holds the soup and meat inside.

Pork Xiaolongbao
They are served in mushikis (bamboo steamers) in orders of 6 or 10 pieces. The more you eat the more steamers you have which you can stack up and build a tower if you like! |

They have a fantastic shrimp fried rice which is not too oily or dry, you must try it! You can also order pork chops which are to die for! They are not too hard or chewy; instead, they are cooked to perfection. Each chop is marinated in a peppery sauce which I find delectable.

Din Tai fung is a great family restaurant with a lively atmosphere. It is moderately priced and you leave with a VERY satisfied belly... |
