Din Tai Fung Shanghai


Din Tai Fung (Xintiandi branch)
2F House 6, South Block Xintiandi, Lane 123
Xinye Road, Shanghai

+86 21 6385 8378


========================

There are many varieties of xiaolongbao available. Some of the exotic flavours are assorted mushrooms xiaolongbao, goose liver and chicken xiaolongbao, black truffle and chicken xiaolongbao, steamed pork with seafood xiaolongbao, steamed pork with sharkfin and hairy crab meat xiaolongbao.

Refrained from ordering noodles as I could hardly finish the typical portion served in Shanghai.
Hence, ordered the chicken soup, traditional pork xiaolongbao and the pork & hairycrab xiaolongbao.

The skin of the xiaolongbao was tougher than the one I had at Crystal Jade.
Also, the soup base in the xiaolongbao was not as generous.
Still prefer the traditional xiaolongbao.
The crab meat xiaolongbao is quite dry as it has even lesser soupbase in it.

But, I love the chicken soup. Can taste the richness of the simple broth.

Overall Experience : 3/5 (May try another branch instead. Hopefully, it will be better.)
