Din Tai Fung, Suntec City

Outside the restaurant, there were a lot of other diners already waiting for their queue number to be called & so the QR Code for the e-queue was quickly scanned to get a queue number. After a wait of almost 40 mins, our queue number was called & we were soon shown to our table. The first dish to arrive is the Xiao Long Bao which was always tasty & yummy, with the biggest challenge being to pick them up without breaking the skin & losing the succulent stock within. The Steamed Shrimp & Pork Dumplings are similar to the Xiao Long Bao in that they too had stock within but were shaped differently. Loved these Dumplings as they had the additional flavour & texture of prawns within. The Stir-fried Dou Miao with Shredded Pork was fried to the right flavour & consistency, while the shredded pork helped to enhance the flavour of the dish. The Original Shanghainese Drunken Chicken was smooth & tender. It had the flavour of Hua Tiao rice wine & would go really well by itself or with rice. The Fried Rice with Pork Chop and Eggs was great but the Pork Chop itself tasted like it had been fried in old oil with burnt pieces, resulting in it tasting burnt even though it wasn't. The Crispy Golden Prawn Pancake was a simple pancake made with beancurd skin & filled with prawns within. Alas, this dish was the disappointment of the evening as it was over fried & was too oily Ended the night with 2 desserts. A serving of Almond Pudding covered with Black Sesame Dressing was a good mix of 2 differing flavours that paired well with each other. Only problem is the serving is way too small. The second dessert was the Steamed Chinese Style Layered Cakes. This cake had layers of Steamed Sugar Cakes where one could peel them off layer by layer to enjoy. It was yummy but once again, too small a serving for the price. General Verdict: Taiwanese style casual dining that served up wonderful cuisines at reasonable pricing Opening Hours: Monday-Thursday 11:30am-9pm Friday 11:30am-9:30pm Saturday 11am-9:30pm Sunday 11am-9pm Queue Situation: Expect to wait 30mins to 50mins, e-queue only, no reservations Price: SG$20++ upwards per person Payment Mode: Cash & all Major Credit Cards (Physical & Paywave) Items Ordered: 1) Steamed Pork Xiao Long Bao - 10 pieces serving Description: The Xiao Long Bao is always tasty & yummy, with the biggest challenge being picking them up without breaking the skin & losing the succulent stock within Verdict: Very Good, Must Order Price: SG$10.30++ 2) Steamed Shrimp & Pork Dumplings - 10 pieces serving Description: Similar to the Xiao Long Bao in that they too had stock within but were shaped differently.

Absolutely fantastic Chinese cuisine! There's a reason why you often see a long snake line queue in most of their outlets. The food is extremely delicious especially their dumplings! My favourite id their vinegar spicy salad, tastes way better than it looks! Can't go wrong with Din Tai Fung! Service is also top notch as well as the price 👌

The Food is always nice especially the fried rice and their xiao long bao. The soup is also nice. I think the price is also reasonable and makes them very popular expecially on weekend where there always a big crowd!

We found out about DTF just last year when a friend introduced us to it..but from then, we have been big fans of the food.. never disappointed with their taste and quality.. have been to the tampines, parkway parade, orchard and suntec city outlets.. must trys there are their dumplings, duck springrolls, noodle soups..my kid enjoys the food too
