Din Tai Fung
Additional Information
This chain from Taiwan became internationally famous after its signature xiao long bao (soup dumplings) earned the original DTF a Michelin star. The many DTF outlets in Jakarta uphold the chain’s generally high standards, but there is one caveat – almost all of them are halal and thus cannot serve up DTF’s original award-winning pork and crab xiao long bao, serving up a version with chicken instead (which is still very good but not quite the same). However, those looking for that original DTF flavor can still go to the Din Tai Fung: Chef’s Table outlets in Taman Anggrek, Puri Indah and Emporium Pluit malls, which are the only ones in Jakarta that includes pork on their menus, including the original recipe pork and crab xiao long bao.
