Shocker alert:Din Tai Fung,the restaurant group that serves THE BEST Shanghai-style xiao long bao I’ve ever had in my life,originated from Taiwan?! I felt hurt and betrayed. But then I ate another dumpling and all was well.
Sorry for the hiatus guys –things have been a’brewing! Been getting See Panda Cook up and running –culinary school blog –but we plan on completing our Taiwan+Malaysia trip posts before the end of 2011! This was our only sit-down dim sum (yum cha) meal and we were happily satisfied with the quality of the dim sum here. We went with family so we ordered the basic fare of dumplings,noodles,congee,and fried things. Nothing too eccentric since our tummies were still grumbling from last night’s night market eats. Taipei is the mecca for night markets. If you crave the thrill of eating dubiously-safe but ultimately tasty eats,you have met your match. As much as Rob and I would love to pretend to be Anthony Bourdain,our tummies would probably cry mutiny,so we took it easy this time. Hey everyone! Sorry it’s been a while since our last post. But we are ready to present some fresh new posts from our trip to Taiwan and Malaysia so stick with us Tokyo-Narita Airport was the first stop. We were so happy to step off the plane,after suffering that looong flight and mushy airplane food. The first thing we saw was a little japanese cafe.  |  | |
