And each chef spends an hour at a station… In official terms of each role, you are a roller, twister or wrapper for one hour at a time! Watching the chefs at work on dumplings behind the window. The dumplings are made fresh in front of your eyes (literally, behind a glass wall). It takes three years to train as a chef at Din Tai Fung. With filling, it must weigh between 20.8 and 21.2 grams, and is folded exquisitely with 18 perfect folds.

But we can officially share and showcase our love of dumplings (and our expertise in over-ordering).Īnd our new obsession with Din Tai Fung in Taiwan. And with Din Tai Fung: a Taiwanese mecca for dumpling-pilgrims from all over the world.Īlbeit the Michelin-related claim of frequency stretches the imagination a wee bit further than our backpacks allow. The restaurant is busy and overlooks a busy local street which is nice.Oh yes we toss our backpacks aside and frequent Michelin star restaurants…īut not with stars. Good location, easy to find restaurant within a hotel. Nice and speedy service, nothing much to add. In addition, the spicy crab bun was an exceptional discovery in my opinion. My favourite dumplings are definitely the spicy wontons which are a must to try. I also thought the pork with rice was excellent here. For example in this Korean store, they have a fried chicken dish which is absolutely mind blowing and doesn't exist in other DTFs so go for that. DTF specialised in dumplings so definitely get a few dumplings but I would also strongly recommend a few other dishes. is delicious, tasty, grandiose, amazing, great and any other synonym of tastylicious you can find. REASON FOR VISIT: after discovering DTF in Taiwan and then having it in HK and also in London, I am in love with the menu at DTF and try to visit as much as possible when in Asia. Will not recommend this DTF location More We should have just called her attention instead of this useless so called manager. The lady with short hair however is attentive but busy so we didn’t want to bother her. We gave up on the chili oil/paste as we’re almost done with our food.
She didn’t deliver it! We had to ask another lady for the water. This is a must for us when eating xiaolong bao which is what we only order with some garlic veggie variety. My husband had our request translated to Korean (google translate) asking for chili oil/paste (spicy sauce that usually comes in most DTF places). be the manager) is very inattentive and doesn’t care about the needs of her customers. The skinny lady with below shoulder length hair (who seems to. This location however was the worse DTF we’ve been too. Our experience around the world where we had DTF has been nothing but awesome.
