Din Dai Fung Restaurant At Taipei 101

YES, DIN TAI FUNG.... No doubt they are here in Malaysia too, but since we were in Taiwan, we should try the original DTF....

We were at Taipei 101 on the last day of our 7 days trip.  We visited a few places on this very day, taking taxi from our hotel Midtown Richardson.  This is the second time we stayed in this hotel, it is very convenient, walking distance to shopping and eatery places anytime of the day.  Breakfast buffet is inclusive and it has a wide spread of Taiwanese food.  The rooms are spacious, we opted for a family room, according to my son, the rates is the same as with twin rooms.  There are two queen size beds in each room with a small round table and sofa chair which could accommodate two persons.  Each night cost around RM400-500 which is quite reasonable.

Back to our lunch at Din Tai Fung, this restaurant is in 101, the tallest skyscraper in Taiwan.  When we reached there, we had to take a number and our waiting time is at least half hour.  To while away the time, we walked around the vicinity, buying some cookies and snacks in the mall.  By the time our number was called, all of us were hungry for anything!

Outside the restaurant where we waited....
Started with these.... one for each of us...
Kiamsiap a bit... hahahaa...
Main courses.... 
Fried rice with pork chop....
Whole slab....
One without the meat but with lots of shrimps....
Third bowl with noodles....
For the little girl....

Tasted like Yau Mak...

After "healing" our tummies, we adjourned to another place...
Chiang Kai Shek Memorial Hall...

  3. Din Tai Fung in Taipei has many dishes not available in their branches here. If you like Glutinous rice wine, should try their dessert of jiu niang fermented glutinous rice wine with glutinous rice balls.
