MY FAVORITE DIN TAI FUNG 😭😭😭
Transcript
We went to one of my favorite restaurants, Din Tai Fung. If you've never been here before, you need to put it on the bucket list. They give you this slip of paper and you fill it out. There is so many items to choose from. You have to get the pear lychee matini. It is so beyond delicious. In my opinion, the best way to go is starting with the cucumber salad and then wash that down with tier refreshing passion fruit tea. No, my top two favorite items of this meal worse the soup dumplings and these garlic green beans. And then someone recommended we try the pork chop fried rice and we were not disappointed with that recommendation. We got wontons, dumplings. I'm also a big noodle girl. We got the chicken noodles and the spicy noodles. Both of them were absolutely phenomenal. It is very easy to go overboard at Din Tai Fung, and we definitely did. At one point, the entire table was covered with good, and they kept bringing it out. By the end, I was so insanely full, but I will never skip dessert. These are the chocolate dumplings and they're insane. Filled with warm, decadent chocolate and then you dip them in this sweet cream, and look at the chocolate inside? I want to go back already.
