Food Review | Din Tai Fung

Need no introduction by now since it has started business in Singapore with the first outlet at Paragon Shopping Centre and till date, you can find their outlets almost everywhere around the island. I have tried their food many times and each time, the experience is different. Why? Because it lies on the making of Steamed Pork Dumpling skins as different outlets tends to have different texture. And sometimes the skin hardens or not properly steamed. There are more rooms for improvement but here are some of those I had at Seletar Mall outlet and my review.

Oriental Wontons w Black Vinegar & Chilli Oil 
红油抄手

This is my top favourite eat at Din Tai Fung. The smooth wonton skin with tasty fillings matches perfectly with the vinegar and chili oil. A must order if I settle for dinner here.


Noodle with Spicy Sauce 
红油燃面

This bowl of noodles is decent but nothing to shout about. But one thing to comment is the noodles has this bits of QQ texture. Plus point for this one.


Siew Mai

The looks of it isn't fantastic and you can see the skin isn't cooked properly. Still have rooms for improvement. 


Steamed Pork Dumplings
小笼包

This is a staple on almost every table. I must say after patronizing the different outlets of Din Tai Fung, the ones here at Seletar Mall outlet is good. Smooth skin, properly cooked and nice amount of tasty soup from within.

Din Tai Fung has been so popular ever since it stepped foot in Singapore, with long queue always esp during peak hours like lunch or dinner time. I haven't gotta try at their outlet in Taiwan because of the same reason. Anyway, if you wanna try, grab every opportunity when there isn't a queue like before 6 or 6.30pm. Tested and Proven.
