Dumpling Delight

Din Tai Fung is a reassuring slice of reasonably priced Taiwan comfort food in Hong Kong's hectic Causeway Bay. Rebecca Lo tucks in.

I first visited Din Tai Fung in its hometown. During a holiday in Taipei, we decided to try some of its famous xiao long bao (steamed pork dumplings) in the Fuxing Sogo branch after being stymied by the ridiculously long line at Taipei 101.

Even though there are Din Tai Fung outlets in Hong Kong, I really wanted my first experience of the restaurant to be where it was founded. Despite also having to wait in Fuxing, it wasn't nearly as long (and I wasn't nearly as famished).
