Din Tai Fung: Taipei Lunch

Always our first real meal in Taipei: the original Din Tai Fung on Xinyi Lu and Yongkang Jie near my grandparents. This trip, we only went to Din Tai Fung twice; usually I try to hit it up at least 3-4 times per trip! On our second visit, we got the famous "tang bao," true soup dumplings: mini xiao long bao that you dip in a spoonful of clear broth for extra juicy deliciousness, only available on weekends until they run out.
