I found Din Tai Fung in Hong Kong by chance. That night I was really hoping to get a table at Ippudo (a Japanese Ramen restaurant) but the line was just too long. I walked around the shopping mall to see what other options I had and I found them.
The xiao long baos (soup dumplings) come in 6 pieces per order. They were amazing. The skin was so thin and the soup inside was hot and flavorful. I also ordered a spicy cucumber appetizer and a small bowl of DanDan noodles. The cucumbers were spicy and perfectly marinated with fragrant sesame oil. Even though my mouth was on fire and my nose was dripping from the heat, I couldn’t stop eating them. They were so addictive. The noodles were mixed with broad beans, minced pork, and marinated tofu…yum!
