Alex’s Soapbox

I finally got to visit what is allegedly the best dumpling house in the country - Din Tai Fung in Arcadia. We tried visiting a few weeks ago but were put off by the large crowd outside the restaurant. A friend showed up unannounced and we managed to get him in quickly since we now had a foursome.

This time, we were determined to see what the fuss was all about. After an hour, we finally got seated and our orders came quickly. The pork dumplings and wonton soups were excellent - the other dishes were pretty good. Their international reputation is well deserved.
