Had an intensive day at work. Feeling a bit hungry right now and decided to rave at Din Tai Fung preparing my appetite for dinner.
I like juicy, meaty dumplings. There is something special about them that the dry, veg ones just wouldn't do. The dumpling skin at Din Tai Fung is very elastic and thin. I am usually a big sucker of that kind of skin. But not at Din Tai Fung, probably because the stuffing is too little and it never feels like real food. Yet more like a big juicy candy, and not in a good way. The juice in the dumplings is usually very hot, which does a very good job on hurting old ladies' tongues and appetite as well as mine... Not to mention the juice tastes like plain oil. I really am not sure why people find that enjoyable.
Interesting facts about Din Tai Fung.
Each dumpling looks extremely similar like another. They are always in the same size and have the same amount of pleats. Taste is always the same. I am not only talking about each visit. Say you eat 20 dumplings at one meal, the 20th you eat tastes same like the first of the tenth. I know it sounds odd. But usually when you eat something, its taste changes as you eat. At least, it's the case for me and me friends.
It reminded me a recent experiment I heard about. A kid's burger and a few other things from McDonald's were put in a regular room where people live in for a year. And none of them went bad.
