Exactly 2 weeks ago, Femina and Din Tai Fung Indonesia organized an event titled Afternoon Bites with Din Tai Fung & Femina. Femina kindly invited food bloggers to join this event and I've always loved Din Tai Fung, how could I possibly turn the invitation down? ;) Thank you Femina & Din Tai Fung for hosting this gathering, it was a bountiful event and everyone left not only with happy bellies, but also joy & laughter we shared with friends .
So without further ado, let me tempt you with the following photos of the dishes we tried...
So without further ado, let me tempt you with the following photos of the dishes we tried...
 |
| Blackcurrant Bubble Tea IDR 25,000 |
Blackcurrant Bubble Tea: Tasted refreshing, not too sweet, bubble tasted average...good average =) Oh, this drink saved me from the tongue-burning spicy enoki (3rd photo).
 |
| Beef Floss Pancake ala Shanghai IDR 20,000 /piece |
Beef Floss Pancake ala Shanghai: The fried pancake had texture like that of bread, but my friend said this type of pancake (bread) is commonly found in dim sums. The beef floss is sweet & generous enough to whet your appetite.
 |
| Crispy Fried Enoki Mushroom with Chili IDR 38,000 |
Crispy Fried Enoki Mushroom with Chili: Warning, this is very spicy, and the spiciness didn't only come from the red chili chunks, the flour batter wrapping the enoki was spiced too! Multiple hotness to burn your tongue. I gulped lots of water after just a few strands of this! This snack is quite addictive, despite the greasiness.
 |
| Chicken & Vegetables Wonton Soup IDR 32,000 (4pcs wonton) |
Chicken & Vegetable Wonton Soup: I love the clear broth soup, so fragrant! And of course, the dumplings too.
 |
| Satay Xiaolongbao IDR 38,000 (4pcs) | IDR 51,000 (6pcs) | IDR 75,000 (10 pcs) |
Satay Xiaolongbao: This is the highlight of the whole meal. Satay Xiaolongbao will only be available from July - August 2012 (during the Ramadhan). Tasted sweet from peanut sauce and it is no supposed to be dipped into vinegar / soya sauce like what we normally do when eating original xiaolongbao. Give it a try, but if you're not into sweet stuff, I would not recommend this for you.
 |
| Hainanese Rice IDR 12,000 | Pineapple Chicken IDR 50,000 |
Hainanese Rice: Savoury & rice is well cooked, the seasoning could use more garlic to add more fragrance to the rice, though.
Pineapple Chicken: Tasty, sweet & savoury chicken chunks. Me likey, wished there were more of the chicken in the plate haha...
 |
| Shanghainese Smoked Fish |
Shanghainese Smoked Fish: A little too sweet for most people. It uses dory fish, which is tender & odorless. Maybe if the sweet seasoning could be toned down a little bit more, I would be a huge fan of this one.
 |
| Sauteed French Bean with Minced Beef IDR 52,000 |
Sauteed French Bean with Minced Beef: A little oily and I think the beef is a tad too finely minced. But the overall taste is still well balanced. =) Gotta eat your veggies, folks ;)
 |
| Mango Fantasy IDR 38,000 (small) | IDR 58,000 (large) |
Mango Fantasy: Perfect for sharing among 4pax. The top scoop is Haagen-Dasz Mango Ice Cream, it's really good! The slush syruped ice had that tiny hint of artifical sweetener, or is it simply too sweet? But this dessert is still a sweet way to end your meal =) Din Tai Fung seems to specialize in mango-themed desserts, because I saw more than a handful items in the Desserts Menu featuring some old-time favourites
like mango pomelo and interesting twists like this Mango Fantasy.
