We had dinner at Din Tai Fung on mum’s actual birthday (which was yesterday) - Her treat this time round!

Din Tai Fung
9 Bishan Place #01-41
Junction 8 Shopping Centre
Tel: 6356 5228

As usual, there was a big crowd outside the outlet (waiting to be seated). Luffs and I were the last to arrive due to the jam on the road but at least the rest of them already had a table when we got there. It was Luffs’ first time there so he was pretty eager to try the food!

The food took awhile to come, so we took some photos.

Anyway, here’s what we had!

Fried Rice With Shrimps & Eggs

The fried rice is always so yummy, so we ordered 2 plates of this - Maybe we should try fried rice with pork chop the next time round!

Steamed Chicken Soup With Noodles

This was for Uncle. Awesome broth - And this makes the chicken soup such an easily enjoyable non-herbal soup!

Dan Dan Noodles

Luffs ordered this for himself - Noodles mixed in sesame and peanut! I didn’t really like it because peanut + noodle is just not a good combination.

Noodles With Minced Pork In Bean Sauce

I had this before and would still think that there are nicer 炸酱面 elsewhere.

Fried Pork Chop

It was nice and tender!

Steamed Pork Dumplings

We ordered 2 baskets (one small and one big) - So we got a total of 16 xiao long bao!

Look at Maggie Jie’s satisfied face!

Shrimp & Pork Shao-Mai

MAggie Jie and I are big fan of shao-mai but this dish was such a disappointment because it is totally a xiaolongbao-wannabe dish! It tasted just like xiao long bao with an additional prawn on the top.

I personally feel that the minced pork & glutinous rice shao-mai is so much better.

Yuan Yang Dumplings

We had this free because we were paying by Citibank credit card.

I would say that the red bean paste and yam paste combination worked out quite well!

Just when we thought we were done, the waitress came with this!

We had no idea what this was, but seems like Maggie Jie got Harald's order wrong. Haha...

Overall it was a good dinner and I ♥ eating with my family.
