Din Tai Fung @ Empire, Subang

Dim sum is one of my favourite food to eat. I find it incredibly appealing how you can eat so many different things in one meal, due to the nature of dim sum which comes in bite sizes. Din Tai Fung serves dim sum but their menu is not very extensive as they choose to concentrate on what they do best - the xiao long bao.

Dumplings are good. Put soup in them, it becomes amazing. The whole thing literally bursts deliciousness all over your delicate palates. My family have been visiting this restaurant every time we get the inkling for some dim sum. Someone please open a branch in Edinburgh and give Saigon a run for their money!

Other than dim sum, they have a really good selection of food you can try as well like the noodles and fried rice. Mom is fond of the beef la mien. It reminds me of the one our old Taiwanese neighbour used to make. I like their fried rice. Every grain is nicely separated and does not clump together. I've been told that it takes exceptional skills to fry rice like that. Salted egg prawns are also good, a welcome change to the generic butter prawn.

The first branch in Hong Kong was awarded a Michelin Star. Not surprised because the food is really good. It's affordable and there is no way you can this sort of prices at Michelin Star restaurants. (but a little pricey compared to your average joe dim sum)
