Din Tai Fung had opened its door in Gurney
Plaza for quite some times – there were always long queue outside during peak
hour a few months after its opening. The crowd seemed to reduce after a while
due to other new choices in the mall. =P

We visited the restaurant a few times as lil
one had took a liking to their Shrimp Fried Rice. Here are some of the dishes
we sampled during our visits.

| Condiments on table |
Din Tai Fung House Special – a cold appetizer
dish with glass noodle, seaweed, beansprout and bean curd strips in spicy
dressing. This tasted cold & fresh but just not our cup of tea.

Hot & Sour Soup – this was a hit with us,
the sour & spicy soup with smooth beancurd & shredded pork was simply a
killer combination! We ordered this every time we visited.

Pork Xiao LongBao (Signature Soup Dumpling) – the
soup inside the dumpling was really flavorful and the pork was nice. However, this
dish tasted similar to other restaurant which served Xiao LongBao too. Nothing
to shout about there…
 |
| Pork Xiao LongBao |
Crab Roe & Pork Xiao LongBao – the crab roe
taste was really overpowering and addicting. I think this was better than the
original pork xiao longbao. =P

Spicy Shrimp & Pork Wonton – the shrimp
was really fresh and generously stuffed in the wonton. This dish certainly satisfied
our taste buds when combined with the spicy sauce. YUM!

Braised Beef Noodle Soup – this was their
signature noodle with savory beef soup. The soup did taste like it was braised
for a long time but somehow I preferred the peppery taste of beef noodle soup
from another restaurant. *facepalm*

Noodle with minced pork in Bean Sauce – this was just okay. Nothing too spectacular.

Tan Tan Noodle - this dish was bizarre! The bean sauce tasted a lot like peanut butter!!! We would never ordered this again. =P
 |
| Tan Tan Noodle |
Noodle with Spicy Sauce – this was simply
noodle with their spicy sauce. Simple and nice due to the sauce! Not to mention
one of the cheapest dish on the menu. LOL!!

Shrimp fried rice – the Lil one's favourite! The
rice was fried perfectly with egg and scallion and every single rice tasted
scrumptious. The prawns were fresh and complimented with the fried rice. Only complaint
was it could be quite oily.

Golden pumpkin with salted egg – you couldn’t
go wrong with dishes with salted egg! The pumpkin was sweet and blended well
with the salty crust. It could be drenched in oil in some part though.

Ma Po Bean Curd – this was an okay dish, a bit
similar to hot & sour soup but not as concentrated in taste like the soup.

In conclusion, Din Tai Fung is actually quite overpriced and may not really value for money. Occassional visit is okay but not for frequent ones. =P
Din Tai Fung is located in Lower Ground Floor
of Gurney Plaza Penang, Malaysia.
