Singapore｜Din Tai Fung

It’s a long long wait as with probably all DTF outlets. But the queue system is good and automated. The serving staff have been here for a long time. Very friendly and efficient. Even though I was dining alone, I never felt harried by the staff. The service staff is also very kind and very helpful. When the appetizer that I wanted was sold out, they remembered that I wanted it and came to me when a fresh batch was made. Amazing memory considering that the place was so crowded with patrons. I love their chicken soup, simple and unadulterated chicken stock. So good especially when I was feeling a little under the weather.

I like duck pastry, wanton superior soup and beef noodles from DTF. Tried the pork XLB today, and still think the pork & prawn XLB I usually order is much better. The pork cutlet fried rice here is v popular, but the rice soso as I prefer a heavier taste. Pork cutlet is good, v tender. I used to like the fried prawn pancake, it is nice but not worth it given it is really thin and has little ingredients. Service over here always excellent👍🏼☺️.

Good food as usual. Experience and food is usually standardized across all outlets. If you come here ordering the egg fried rice with pork chop and xiao long bao is a nobrainer, but generally most of the food served here is decently good. Price may be a little on the high end but it is quite worth it for both the service and the food. The service is top notch and the waiting time was shorter than expected (initially the waitress explained that it would take around 30-40 min to prepare the xiao long bao but it turned out to be much faster than that). For this outlet, business is booming and the restaurant seems to be quite full even outside lunch and dinner hours. During lunch and dinner hours especially on weekends, there is a queue and long waiting time.
