Din Tai Fung

So after being in Sydney for almost 2 years, I finally visited Din Tai Fung, a well known dumpling place that is famous with not just the Chinese but with the local Australians as well. We arrived early for dinner so there was not much of a queue although inside was already packed with customers! When we left, the line outside was LONG!

So, their menus basically consist of dumplings, noodles, taiwanese rice, side dishes, a range of hot and cold desserts. I haven't blogged about this other restuarant called Chef gallery but comparing the both of them, Chef gallery had more variety of food whereas Din Tai Fung probably specialised in xiao long baos (soup dumplings) and noodles. Both resturants however is nice and I would definately come back again (early) to get sits!

Their xiao long baos were so juicy and smooth, and their noodles had a nice texture and was delicious!

Their famous xiao long baos:

Fried rice with pork chop:

One of my favourite noodles, Zha Jiang Mian:

Like I said at the start, there was a line and if there is a line it's normally pretty decent! The service is quick and efficient so that the turnover can be higher for customers standing in the cold to go in! Not a place to go for a quiet night out or have desserts to chill with friends, you'll have to move somewhere cosier and not where their actions seems to be rushing you out!
