Din Tai Fung’s steamed dumplings carry a lofty rep across Asia and it's completely merited. Dating back 40 years to its Taiwan roots, these days Din Tai Fung is every bit the thoroughbred, with restaurants stretching across the globe as far as London – neighbourhoods are always the better for having one of these restaurants. Its signature xiao long baos (steamed pork dumplings) and steamed chicken soup have an army of fans. But it's worth exploring other offerings like the steamed angled gourd and shrimp xiao long bao.
