Din Tai Fung (鼎泰丰) @ NEX mall

Din Tai Fung is well known for their Xiao Long Bao (soup bun/dumpling) and Tang Bao(bigger size soup bun). Despite the long queue, we took a number and thankfully it wasn't a long wait, after 15min, we were led to our table. While waiting outside we already decided on what to eat and wrote on the given menu list. This really saved time. 

Too bad their Tang Bao was sold out hence we had the xiao long bao, the meat filling was still as juicy, but it wasn't very warm, otherwise it could better. 

We also had other dishes (other than dim sum), most of them are recommended for health-conscious diner as the dishes are quite bland. Overall the meal is a satisfied one. I will definitely come back for its dim sum only.

 These were the normal xiao long bao, we also ordered the one with crab roe. Yummy!
This isn't tang bao, it's the soup from xiao long bao oozing out.

Hot and sour soup. The taste isn't very strong and appetizing. I have tasted better.

Prawn in fried beancurd skin - Crispy, fragrant and savoury. One of my favourites.

Fried Pork Rib - Tasty and quite tender inside.

Fried beancurd skins and delicious wrapped pork filling soup with vermicelli. A little bland but still quite nice (thanks to the pork filling). A pretty healthy dish.

 Special braised beef brisket noodles - soup base is quite bland, the beef has very strong taste which not everyone can accept. I personally feel the vermicelli soup above tastes better than this.

 Mixture of pork and spicy crab meat buns - this sounds delicious but when 2 of the best mixed together, it just clashes. The taste becomes weird. The original pork bun seems to taste better hehe.
The filling inside. Looks nice though.
