The first branch of Din Tai Fung is located in the busy Zhong Xiao commercial area. The 30-year-old restaurant expects to provide a brighter, more spacious and modern dining environment and to serve more customers in its branch. It also hopes to attract a younger clientele. The specialty here is steamed buns (hsiao lung bao). The ingredients are prepared in the restaurant¡¦s central kitchen with exacting precision. The outer flour skin has a standard weight of 5 gm, and is stuffed with 16gm of filling. Eighteen folds are then used to seal each bun. The buns are served with thin slices of ginger and a dipping sauce. In addition, to steamed buns, Din Tai Fung serves a soup made with wild chicken, as well as other specialties.-by Josephine Lin
