Start of the 3rd day. We had to save our stomach for the wonderful "Shanghainese" food (famed in Taiwan) but franchised in a lot of places was DIN TAI FUNG of Beijing.
All the food was freshly prepared and cooked by a LARGE team of chefs in displayed kitchen
Their famous Xiao Lung Bao. (Small steamed dumplings with minced pork and steaming juicy sauce that pours out if you poke the dough!)
And their mini xiao lung bao that you can pop into your mouth like popcorn!
You dip the dumpling in Chinese red vinegar with freshly sliced ginger
Their famous Pork Chop noodle soup DELICIOUS!
At night we went to another restaurant that served familiar Chinese food. But their specialty was their dessert which was a steamed hot papaya with bird's nest soup in the middle. REALLY HOT! But great for the skin of women supposedly!
din tai fung! :) these pictures are making me smile, but making my stomach growl! i think xiao long bao's are in my new favorite types of food category! :D
