Din Tai Fung is always coming up with new mochi-bao hybrids, with previous examples being the Steamed Strawberry Mochi Xiao Long Bao and Black Sesame Mochi Xiao Long Bao. To celebrate Mother’s Day, the Taiwanese restaurant chain is set to launch yet another flavour: the Steamed Yam Mochi Xiao Long Bao, available from 1 May to 30 June 2026.

Priced at $12.80++ for six pieces or $15.80++ for 10 pieces, each xiao long bao sees a chewy mochi skin worked into the bun’s signature 18 folds. Of course, a sweet yam filling is at the core of each dumpling, and we’re hoping that it oozes out spectacularly like in the promotional image provided above. Do consider taking your mother to Din Tai Fung if she’s a fan of all things yam!

If you tried last year’s Black Sesame Mochi Xiao Long Bao, you can expect it to be similar in texture but different in flavour. This dumpling came with two dipping sauces: the Chocolate Cream and Sea Salt Cream, both of which we enjoyed. There’s currently no word on whether the Steamed Yam Mochi Xiao Long Bao will also have dipping sauces, but we’ll update if there’s more information!

We also loved the Mama Mochi Chocolate Xiao Long Bao from previous years, thanks to a chocolate filling that had just the right amount of sweetness. The silky chewiness of the mochi was also hard to resist.

Do note that prices for the Steamed Yam Mochi Xiao Long Bao may vary across restaurants, and are subject to prevailing GST and service charge.
