Had early dinner here (around 4+). It's pretty quiet with lots of seats.
There were 3 of us of which one does not eat pork.
The server highlighted there's limited items served without pork, but was able to make recommendations, including the noodle cooked in a vegetarian way. It smelt good though looked plain, and it went very well with its chilli sauce 👍
Had two other typical highlights of the restaurant - happy dining :)
Their fried rice with the pork cutlet, nowadays u can get this dish elsewhere… but I must say their Xiao Long Bao is one dish no other eateries can be as good as DTF. I tasted some xiao long bao in many orchard rd based restaurants.. somehow cant replicate this dish as well as DTF. I will come here once a while to have my Xiao long bao fix.
No queue when I arrived at 8pm on Wed night. The food was delicious and the service was great. It was a bit echoy and noisy though
We really liked the xiao loong bao, pork chop, ramen in special sauce, ramen in beef soup, and the prawn cake. It was all delicious!
We always visited this chain restaurant when we were in Singapore. Service was efficient.
Portion sizes tend to be small, so plan accordingly. Most of the dishes we had tried were very good. Our favorites were the crispy golden prawn pancake, steamed pork dumplings, and shrimp fried rice. They did a good job with vegetable dishes too.
The only dish that we didn't like was the noodle soup with fried pork chop. Both the soup and the pork chop were bland.
Ordered a number of items such as Dan Dan main, sweet and sour pork, black sesame buns, hot and sour soup, spicy dumplings, fried rice, diced mushroom noodles and limited edition noodles with scallion. Notable mentions are the usual hot and sour soup, and sweet and sour pork and noodles with scallion.
I was in Orchard Road and thinking what lunch could I have with a budget of $20/-. It was a Sunday and Ding Tai Fung Wisma Atria wasn’t too crowded. I decided to dine there as I didn’t have to wait.
The service staff asked if I would prefer order online or pen & paper (hard copy). I was quite charmed by their thoughtfulness.
I had a good & satisfying lunch under $20/-!
Guess what I ordered..photos tell it all😊
I enjoyed my lunch👍
Lunch at Din Tai Fung — Day 3 in Singapore
It’s the third day of my mother-in-law and niece’s visit to Singapore. My husband and I are residents here, and we’ve always wanted to bring them to Din Tai Fung, one of our favourite places for comforting and reliable food.
We ordered Xiao Long Bao and century egg, and for my mother-in-law — who’s very selective with food — she decided to try the dry noodles with pork cutlet, since there wasn’t much else on the menu she thought she’d like. We asked to remove the pepper because she can’t handle spicy food.
To our surprise, the meal turned out to be another wonderful success! Despite being extremely picky, my mother-in-law finished all her noodles and even said that if she had more, she would’ve finished the pork cutlet too! She also tried the century egg — which, as we know, not everyone dares to try — and actually liked it more than we expected.
The Xiao Long Bao was as delicious as ever — perfectly juicy and flavorful. It was so good that we ordered another basket! My husband doesn’t usually eat much, so my niece and I ended up sharing and finishing both sets. I also had fun teaching her how to eat them properly — poke it first, sip the broth, then eat it. My husband, of course, told her to just eat it whole 😅. She tried it his way once but quickly switched to mine — and she loved it! It was adorable watching her carefully poke the dumpling, sip the hot broth, and enjoy every bite with a little chili on the side.
When we were paying, the cashier/server asked how our experience was, and I shared how impressed we were — especially since my mother-in-law enjoyed everything so much. The prices were also very reasonable, which made the experience even better.
We ended our meal with the Christmas chocolate bun, which they described as an “Asian lava cake.” My niece and mother-in-law, both being European and quite particular about chocolate, absolutely loved it — rich, gooey, and perfectly sweet.
By the end of lunch, my mother-in-law said she wanted to come back again just to eat the noodles — and for us, it will always be for the Xiao Long Bao.
Thank you, Din Tai Fung, for another heartwarming and delicious experience! ❤️
Sadly lacking in terms of service and credibility. A group of poorly groomed teenagers, who came across as temporary retail staff, probably earning extra pocket money during school holidays... the bunch of them were huddled so closely together, busy gossiping away - no social distancing being practiced in store by these staff themselves even though covid measures are certainly still mandatory during this period. I simply couldn’t believe my eyes and ears that this is the Samsung showroom at 313! I had requested for ear buds to be sanitized so that I could pair it with my phone to try them out. One of the staff simply took out an alcohol swab & passed it to me, then turned away to continue gossiping. Pairing with our phones are not allowed because all ear buds on display were paired by default to other Samsung phones on display too. Ear buds on display were spoilt anyway, questioning its product durability. What a shame! After what we have observed within this showroom, we decided to pass over Samsung products for good. The Samsung experience at their 313 outlet was certainly a very poor one. Poorly managed. Not recommended.
