Few things bring such happiness in life as freshly-cooked dumplings. The little tubby parcels are the culinary equivalent of a cheek breaking grin. So approach Din Tai Fung with gum busting expectations. Even though the wait can peak 60 minutes, to pass the time there are menu checklists and a pen. Muse over steamed crabmeat and pork dumplings, braised beef noodle and cucumber with a chilli zest then tick - and you shall receive.
Inside you might have to share a table, but that is ok because once the food starts arriving there is no time to stare. Total focus must be trained on the dumplings. Their outsides are so delicate, their insides so soft and squishy. Lift and dip with utmost care. Dishes come served by waiters who can possibly read minds, because they know exactly when to deposit the next dish. Once finished, prepare for post-eating depression. Not from the over indulgence, but from the fact that it's over, finished, gone. Din Tai Fung is that good.
