Din Tai Fung - it's what's for dinner



Sam had 'steamboat' (what they call 'hot pot' in Singapore) for lunch, and we had Din Tai Fung for dinner.  Din Tai Fung is a very famous steamed bun restaurant - they advertise that the New York Times called them one of the ten best restaurants in the world.  And they do have superlatively good steamed buns and dumplings.  These are the only steamed buns I've tasted that can approach the quality of the steamed buns my mother-in-law makes from scratch, and that's really saying something.

Folks in Singapore talk about food with the vigor people from other countries talk about politics or religion.  Everyone has a strong opinion about what to eat, and where to eat it.  Given the choice, food is a great place to focus one's attention and passion - I can definitely relate.

glad you like the pictures - unfortunately they don't fully do justice to the smells and tastes. Sam and I are guessing you and Jen would like Singapore - great food, easy to get around, friendly people, most people speak english. It's a really nice place to visit.
