鼎泰豐 高雄店

Dining time: 2025/01/31

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, I visited the Han Shen Arena
I got a number around 2:10 PM and then wandered around
By the time I was seated to eat, it was already 6 PM!!

Today I ordered:
⭐️ Ning-style Huang Ya Cai
I wanted to try some side dishes I hadn't eaten before
In the end, it was a bit ordinary and not particularly memorable
I can try different ones next time

⭐️ Crab Roe Xiaolongbao / 5PC
There’s a little crab on top of the crab roe dumplings as a marker
The skin is thin and the filling is generous, paired with shredded ginger and soy sauce
The broth mixed in is super delicious!

⭐️ Truffle Xiaolongbao / 2PC
Each dumpling costs 100 NTD, so I ordered one to try
The waiter also brought an extra set of spoons
And reminded me to take a sip of water first to cleanse my palate
You don’t need to dip it in any sauce; biting into it unleashes a burst of truffle flavor
It's really delicious!

⭐️ Pork Rib Fried Rice
The fried rice is distinct, each grain clearly defined, paired with delicious pork ribs
Adding the chili oil sauce makes it even tastier!

⭐️ Red Oil Dumplings (Shrimp filling)
Each dumpling has a shrimp inside, very flavorful!
Dipping them in the red oil sauce makes this dish great too!

⭐️ Hot and Sour Soup
Uniformly cut tofu and wood ear mushrooms, with egg flower
(Plus 10 points for not having carrots in it)
It has a mild level of sourness and spiciness,
It's a gentle, comforting hot and sour soup to drink

⭐️ Sweet Soup with Sesame Balls
I ended with sesame balls,
But honestly, there’s nothing particularly memorable about them
I’ll try other desserts next time!

In conclusion,
At Kaohsiung Din Tai Fung, if you don’t come in right when they open
Waiting 2 to 3 hours is really the norm
But I still want to come back every once in a while
I recommend it to everyone!
