Din Tai Fung – 290 Orchard Road (Paragon)

Dumplings!!!!  Everyone knows of my particular love of dumplings, I was known to have them once a week in Melbourne and it has been hard to compare anything else to Hu Tong, especially the xiao long bao.  Our friend Paul took us here the first week we arrived.  There are quite a few locations of this restaurant around Singapore, but we went to the one in the Paragon centre, it was quite busy when we got there, which is always a good sign, so we had to wait 15 mins before being seated.  They did hand us a menu to order from first, which was good, as it saved some time when we were actually seated.  Fantastic dumpling restaurant, it was all so good, lots of different xiao long bao, but my favourite for the evening definitely would have been the red bean paste and chocolate dumplings!  If I could ever remember how to get to this restaurant in amongst the maze of stores that is shopping centres in Singapore, then there’ll be a round two of Din Tai Fung that’s for sure!
