Listen up, Din Tai Fung fans: the legendary Steamed Tom Yum Xiao Long Bao is back! Available from now till 30 April 2024, Din Tai Fung outlets across the country are once again graced by this spicy spin on everyone’s favourite dim sum.
Priced at $10.90++ for four pieces, each xiao long bao holds a whole shrimp within its juicy minced pork filling. Said filling is marinated with aromatic Thai herbs and spices such as chilli, Thai kaffir lime leaves, galangal, and lemongrass. This creates a broth that bears the unmistakable aroma and flavour of tom yum.
This also marks the return of three “premium dishes”, namely the Steamed Cod Fillet with Superior Soy Sauce ($36.90++), Deep-fried Handmade Tofu with Lotus Roots & Mushrooms ($12.50++), and the Cantonese Sweet & Sour Pork ($21.90++). These dishes aren’t available at all Din Tai Fung outlets, so do visit their website to find out where you can order them.
Din Tai Fung is also launching a new limited-edition bun for Easter: the Cocoa Wafer Bun (from $3.50++). This limited-edition creation merges a soft cocoa bun with top-quality flour from Taiwan and a crunchy chocolate ganache filling, complemented by crushed hazelnuts for added texture and flavor. This bun will be available from 15 March 2024 till 30 April 2024.
