Din Tai Fung @ The Gardens

WB had only tried Din Tai Fung once in Singapore, it was a long time ago, when they didn’t even have an outlet yet in Malaysia.

Recently, WB was dragged twice to the one in The Gardens mall by her coworkers for lunch and dinner.

So for the first time WB ordered this,

Prawn Fried Rice – contains a lot of fresh prawns, big portion and very aromatic. But the taste was quite bland for WB, as she favours heavier taste. WB ended up adding chili sauce, vinegar and also soy sauce.

For the second time, WB thought of ordering noodles, just for experiment sake to see what it taste like.

Wan Tan Ramen – Wan Tan were meaty filled with pork and prawns, they were great. However, the noodles and the soup, has nothing to offer. Soup was bland, noodles was cooked too soft, regrets… Same as last time, WB added a lot of chilli sauce to compensate for the lack of taste 😦

As side dishes, WB’s coworkers ordered these….

Xiao Long Bao – These tasted great, they should be, considering that they are the shop signature dish.

Vegetables Gyoza – Filled to the brim with various vegetables, they were truly not bad 🙂

Pumpkins fried in Salted Egg Yolk – These were excellent, the pumpkins remain juicy, the egg yolks covering were crispy, yum yum 😀

To be fair and honest, the Xiao Long Bao were really better than the ones from Dragon-i (see here). However, taste wise, Din Tai Fung is more suited to people who has a mild taste bud, for WB, this is just not extreme enough 🙂
