Uniquely Singapore 4 - Din Tai Fung + Esplanade

Recap: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3.
Fast forward to second day.

Outside Caker's House

Had a good night sleep. Woke up around 10 something in the morning.

Caker said wanna bring us to eat World’s Famous Xiao Long Bao at Din Tai Fung.
(Okay, by now you should know this is really about food again.)

Dont complain la, food is great, especially u ate something extremely good.

Din Tai Fung

Short intro about Din Tai Fung - It was originally from Taiwan. It was said to be Top 10 Restaurant in the world by New York Times (in year 1993). But it was the best restaurant at Singapore. It also have branches at HongKong, LA, Taiwan, Japan, Singapore and China.

There were 3 branches of Din Tai Fung at Singapore, we went to the Din Tai Fung at Junction 8 (Shopping Complex), Bishan. Very near to Caker’s House.

At Din Tai Fung, they made you take a number and wait for your turn. Because it was lunch hour, Din Tai Fung was full house.

We waited for about 30mins to get our table. Placed our order and waited another 10mins for the food.

Xiao Long Bao taste very good. It was so fresh that the chef delivered the Xiao Long Bao to us himself.

Oh, they gave free chinese tea.

Total cash out for this lunch = SGD 40 something.

Average price for a lunch.. Worth a try. :p

After lunch, caker brought us to Esplanade, famously known as biggest durian in the world.

I know this is a place where local people wont go, but we are ‘tourist’!

Cely - on the way going to esplanade
Gosh, my arm .. so fat !

But no regret going there, it was a beautiful place. We walked around, take pictures, went to roof top.
