I decided to give myself a reward, and a little break from uni, before final exams start (and cause I was having the munchies for dumplings!). I went with a mate to Starbucks for a green tea latte to start off the day. We then headed off to Din Tai Fung at World Square for brunch before the lunch rush. As soon as I was seated, the staff had placed a carrier next to me, advising me that I could place my bag inside. The bags were then covered with a red cloth to prevent any food spilling. I thought it was pretty nifty having my bag seated next to me at waist level rather than it being placed on the floor. We then proceed to order: Hot and Sour Soup, Xiao Long Bao, Crab and Pork Dumplings, Prawn and Pork Wonton Noodles served with Spicy Sauce, and Golden Lava Bun for dessert.
Hot and Sour Soup (small) - $5.80 |
Xiao Long Bao (6 pcs) - $10.80 |
Crab and Pork Dumplings (6 pcs) - $17.80 |
We also had ordered the Prawn and Pork Wonton Noodles with Spicy Sauce but I forgot to take a picture! But it looks like this :D It does get more spicy as you keep eating it!
Finally to end our meal, we ordered the Golden Lava Buns. They were honestly amazing! You wouldn't believe the smile I had on my face while I was eating it haha! These buns were sweeter and more runny than the ones you would find at Iron Chef Chinese Restaurant @ Cabramatta however the sizes of their buns are much larger than Din Tai Fung and appear yellow.
Golden Lava Buns (3 pcs) - $6 |

Overall, the food was great. The staff were very friendly and were constantly on alert for empty plates, and a great atmosphere. The restaurant does get crowded pretty fast so if possible, arrive early to avoid the lunch rush!
