鼎泰豐 A13店

The brilliance of Taiwan doesn't need much introduction, right? 🤩 Din Tai Fung, in my heart, is a place where every meal may not leave you awestruck, but it’s an indispensable presence. After each meal, I feel very satisfied and fulfilled.

You don’t have to worry about service, quality, and flavor, because they might care more than you do, which gives me great peace of mind. I hope such a good brand can continue to exist and thrive!

This time, I visited the A13 branch. The restaurant has two floors; the first floor is for waiting and a souvenir area, while the second floor is the dining and payment area. The space is quite large, and compared to the nearby 101 branch, you can save a lot of waiting time.

Every time I come here, I end up ordering the same dishes, and I particularly recommend:

✐ Cold Appetizers: Roasted gluten, Spicy cucumber, Shaoxing drunken chicken
✐ Hot Appetizers: Crispy shrimp cake
✐ Soups: Beef soup in a clay pot, Chicken soup in a clay pot (sometimes the chicken can be a bit dry, but the broth is definitely fresh), Truffle mushroom soup in a clay pot
✐ Main Dish: Vegetable fried rice (not many people order it, but it's truly delicious; you can eat it plain first and then add a little soy sauce for flavor. Even though I'm not vegetarian, I always order it)

Also, you must add the red oil dumplings to your fried rice order. Here’s a secret recommendation for the half shrimp, half vegetable version (it's a hidden menu item; just let the staff know after you place your order). For those who want to try both flavors, it's a real blessing!

If you still have room, you can order the shrimp pan-fried dumplings—let me tell you what it means to be crispy and juicy!!!
✐ Desserts: Eight-treasure rice (many people can’t accept it, but I really like the chewy and sweet texture), Sesame bao (both large and mini are delicious), Golden molten lava buns, Red bean sponge cake.
