Din tai fung. Taiwanese dim sum, Myong-dong

Every time i am in Meyong-dong i end up eating lunch at the same 3 places. Now i am really happy to have found another one. Din tai fung is a chain of dim sum restaurants from Taiwan. The main focus of the restaurants is the dumplings, and the best one is of course the soup dumpling or Xiao long bao. A dumpling filled with pork and pork jelly and when the dumpling is steamed the jelly melts into a soup, hence soup dumpling. We had a double order of  soup dumplings, pork and shrimp dumpling and a spicy pork and vegetable wonton. Everything was really really good, not as good as Yauatcha in London or the soup dumplings at Joe´s Shanghai in New York. But by far the best dim sum i have had in Korea so far.
