hearing about Din Tai Fung (鼎泰豐 - 鼎泰丰). Apparently, they specialize in soup dumplings.

我們已經聽到有關鼎泰豐（鼎泰豐 - 鼎泰豐）。顯然，他們專注於湯餃子。

So that is what we're going to try today. We absolutely love dumplings so any excuse

所以這就是我們今天要試試。我們非常喜歡餃子，所以任何藉口

for us to eat dumplings is always a good one and yeah it is another rainy day in Taipei

給我們吃餃子始終是一個很好的一個，和是它是另一個雨天在台北 （台北市），

(臺北市) so we figured let's plan our day around food. Let's go eat. Yes, and this place

所以我們想通讓我們來規劃我們的日子各地的食品。一起去吃。是的，

這發生在早上十打開我們期待巨大的線。因此，我們這裡早讓我們得到線。

in line.

So we got here just as the place was opening at ten in the morning and we already have

probably about fifty people in front of us standing in line. The good thing is they are

handing out a menu to everyone who is waiting so you can have an idea of what you want to

order and then your food will be ready sooner.

So we are currently placing our order. Of course we're going for the classic Xiaolongbao

所以我們來到這裡，就像這個地方是開放 在早上十點，我們已經有了

(小笼包 - 小籠包). Gotta get those. What else?

大概五十人在我們面前 排隊。

We're still deciding what else. Still deciding what else. It is a big menu. It is a huge

好在他們派發菜單 大家誰在等待，所以你可以有

menu. Look at that. So many choices.

你要訂購，然後什麼的想法 你的食物將準備越快。

The location we're at has four floors and right now we're heading up to the third one.

因此，我們目前正在把我們的訂單。

I'm guessing the other ones are full already.

當然，我們要去的經典小籠包 （小籠包 - 小籠包）。

Well, we made it. We're out of the rain and we got a table. It wasn't that long of a wait.

得讓那些。

No, like five minutes. So. No, I would say a bit more. Okay maybe ten. Fifteen.

不，大概五分鐘。不，我覺得再久一點。好，可能十到十五分鐘。

Ten or fifteen but haha.

十到十五吧

Maybe I was just so excited to be here that time is just going so fast. Time sped up.

還是決定什麼。

So our tea is already here. They gave us free Oolong tea (烏龍茶 - 乌龙茶). You do

這是一個很大的菜單。

這麼多的選擇。

xiao long bao (小笼包 - 小籠包) which is we're getting the ten pieces. Oh.

我們正處在一個位置有四個樓層， 現在我們正朝著到第三個。

And we're also getting for dessert we're getting a taro xiaolongbao (芋泥小包) and we're

我猜其他的人都滿了。

only getting five of those. So that should be sweet inside and then we also have a noodle

好了，我們成功了。

dish. Noodles with spicy sesame and peanut sauce (擔擔麵). So really looking forward

我們是一下雨，我們得到了一個表。

to that. And is there one else oh yeah. Sticky rice in a wrap with pork. So that is probably

這並不是說長的等待。

going to be like a lotus leaf wrap. So yeah we're just at this point waiting for everything

不，像五分鐘。

to arrive and oh are we ever hungry. We basically skipped breakfast for this.

所以。

Alright so before coming here we were reading the history of the place and apparently the

不，我會說多一點。

man who started this Yang he used to run a shop where he sold cooking oil and like that

好吧，也許十位。

was his business but apparently when that industry started to change and people weren't

十五。

buying as much cooking oil anymore he had to come up with a new business idea so he

十年或十五而是哈哈。

and his wife decided okay we're going to sell soup dumplings and like they became such a

也許我只是太高興能在這裡， 時間只是要這麼快。

huge hit that today they have locations not only across Taipei (臺北市) and Taiwan

時間加快。

(中華民國) but also around the world in places like LA, Hong Kong. So yeah, pretty

因此，我們的茶是已經在這裡。

cool story and now we're waiting for the food.

他們給了我們免費的烏龍茶（烏龍茶 - 烏龍茶）。

This is the look of excitement. So the star of the meal has arrived. The Xiaolongbao (小笼包

a special sauce and they actually give you instructions on how it is done.

是啊，這就是餃子。

So here in the restaurant they actually give you a guide how to enjoy Xiao long bao (小笼包

這是餃子，我們最後決定 我們的菜單上。

- 小籠包). This is how you eat it. Um, and they basically explain how to prepare

因此，我們饒人啊，如果你在這裡往下看 我們正在豬肉小籠包（小籠包

the sauce so we're going to try our hand at this. The waiter actually wanted to make it

- 小籠包），這是我們得到十 件。

for us and we're like no. We are filming this. Haha.

So allow me to demonstrate.

而且我們也越來越甜點我們得到 芋頭小籠包（芋泥小包）和我們

Okay so first up we have our little plate with ginger right here. So it says put some

只有得到這些五。

soy sauce and vinegar. So it is one part soy sauce. One part soy sauce. And three parts

所以這應該是甜裡面，然後我們 也有麵條。

辣芝麻和花生醬面 （擔擔面）。

Next up we grab our little Xiaolongbao (小笼包 - 小籠包) and dip it into the sauce. Once

所以，真的很期待這一點。

it has been dipped we place it on the spoon. Let us see what is next. Oh, let's not forget

並且是別人沒有噢。

you have to poke a little hole to let out the soupy broth that is hiding in there. Can

在豬肉裹糯米飯。

you see that. Oh my gosh. Oh wow look at it seeping out. Pouring out.

所以這很可能會像蓮花 葉包裹。

And then then you take some of the ginger from the plate add it on top and it all goes

所以呀，我們只是在這一點上等待 一切的到來哦是我們曾經餓了。

in in one bite. Is that too big for one bite?

我們基本上不吃早餐這一點。

Try.

好吧，所以在來這裡之前，我們在讀 地點和顯然的歷史

Mmmm.

人誰開始這個楊，他用來運行 商店，在那裡他賣食用油一樣，

Is that tasty?

是他的生意，但顯然當 行業開始發生變化，人不是

Wow. That is amazing. That is so juicy. Oh man.

購買了盡可能多的食用油他 拿出一個新的經營理念，讓他

Is that one of the best dumplings you've ever had?

和他的妻子決定好了，我們要出售 湯餃子和像他們成為這樣的

我們拍攝這一點。

所以讓我來證明。

Okay so we have ordered other dishes but before we move on can we just admire this dumpling

好了，所以首先我們有我們的小板 用姜就在這裡。

a little bit longer. Can you see the soupiness in there. Is that in focus? Yeah, you can

所以說，把一些醬油和醋。

所以這是一個部分醬油。

And the dumpling on top you've probably noticed it has the perfect swirl. Apparently, the

一部分醬油。

chefs have to pinch it eighteen times to get that beautiful shape. So I mean like the amount

而三個部分醋。

of detail that goes into this is crazy. And it is so tasty. So I'm just going to keep

我會說，是關於正確的醋。

eating them. Let's go for another. Release the soup. Oh la lah. More ginger. Let's put

接下來，我們抓住我們的小小籠包（小籠包 - 小籠包），並蘸醬油。

lots of ginger in there. I'm not afraid of ginger. Haha. And in it goes again.

一旦它被浸，我們把它放在 勺。

哦，讓我們不要忘記，你必須戳了一下 孔讓出被隱藏糊狀肉湯

Alright, so the Xiaolongbao (小笼包 - 小籠包) is amazing but we did order more food so we

在那裡。

你能看到這一點。

So we've moving on to noodles that are in a peanut and a spicy sauce (擔擔麵). So

天啊。

在一個咬了一口。

那是美味？

Wow.

哇。

之所以如此，是多汁。

you're swallowing it is like woah. Oh my.

天啊。

So yeah, really nice and spicy. You really taste the peanut and you also really taste

那是最好的餃子一個你有生以來 過？

the sesame sauce too. And it is just so good. It is kind of sweet. It is a combination of

這真的是。

being sweet and spicy and I just love that and the texture of the noodles they are quite

我很高興我們來到這裡，排成一行。

dense noodles. So really like that. Big hit instantly.

這是值得的。

Okay so now I'm going to try the noodles and one of the waitresses just came over and told

好了山姆，讓我們看看如果你關注 的說明。

us apparently we have to stir it more because there is still lots of sauce left at the bottom.

有很多事情這麼好首先我們是 要抓住它。

So let's obey. Let's give it a real good mix Audrey.

我會盡量不打破soupiness 它。

Let's make sure we're doing this the right way. That we're getting all that saucey goodness.

它浸在這裡。

I think that looks good. I can't wait for you to try this I think you're going to really

把它放在勺子。

like it.

抓住一塊姜。

Let's see.

不不不。

And the one thing that we've now been in Taipei (臺北市) for this is what our third or

你是做什麼首先餃子？

fourth day. And my gosh is this ever a city for foodies. Like if you're into food this

哦，我必須打破它打開。

is the place where you've gotta come. That is amazing.

鬆開果汁。

It is like so nutty. Nutty and sweet and spicy. It is an amazing combination of flavors. I

總得刺穿它。

like this a lot. And we weren't even going to order this. Sam was like eh I don't know

呵呵，我們走吧。

this sounds kind of plain but this is the star.

它是走出來。

Okay, time to move on to the third dish. Yeah, so we've got sticky rice wrapped with pork

你去那裡。

(糯米雞 - 糯米鸡). So what I'm going to do is just try to dissect that to see.

在那裡，我們走了。

Oh, look at that. You can see the pork right there. Oh my.

天啊。

Oh, look at those colors. Turn it back around. Show us that baby. It is so sticky. There

好的。

現在，我會抓住一塊姜。

So I'm going to go in for the pork and obviously the sticky rice (糯米雞 - 糯米鸡). That

就這樣。

pork looks so juicy.

而所有在一次。

Oh, my gosh. It might be like along with what the Xiao Long Bao (小笼包 - 小籠包)

哦耶。

I actually like that even more than the noodles and that is saying a lot because I love the

哈哈哈。

noodles. It is just that pork is so juicy and so fatty. It has just got so much flavor

嗯。

to it and then the sticky rice really enhances it. Oh, loving it. This is just like an awesome

是不是很神奇呢？

meal man. This is so good.

哇。

So I've already been sampling the rice and that is pretty good. If you take a look at

它就像。

the plate I think what makes it so special is that is has a little bit of fat that adds

有浮現在腦海右兩件事情 ，距離第一個是的質量

juiciness but like it is not chewy fat that you wouldn't want. It is just like that fat

湯裡面。

that just melts in your mouth and adds flavor. Yeah. Exactly.

所以，第二件事是餃子皮。

And just look at the color of that meat. It is

這僅僅是如此之薄，它這樣一個美妙 這幾乎是我不會'叫它黃油

just so amazing.

味道，但它只是有一個不錯的質感您 口。

Mmmm.

是啊。

So yeah I'm going in for bite number two while you're holding the camera. Quality control.

哦，這是那麼好。

Look at that.

我讀顯然誰擁有廚師 被這個訓練，他們可以推出擠出二十

Look at the pork. Look at those colors. It is like a golden brown. I know.

每分鐘餃子皮。

And literally it just melts in your mouth.

這是瘋了。

We finished every last morsel of our mains so now we're moving on to dessert.

那是瘋了。

Yeah, so we're trying Taro Xiaolongbao (小笼包 - 小籠包). Yeah.

The taro is just so sweet and then it is just so rich and creamy inside of my mouth and

哇。

so piping hot and warm. Yeah, it was still steaming when they brought it.

好了，我們已經下令其他的菜，但之前 我們繼續前進，我們可以只欣賞這種餃子

It makes the perfect dessert.

長一點。

Okay, so my turn to try it.

你可以看到在那裡soupiness。

I actually had my eye on the chocolate dumplings but those cost a lot more so we figured let's

那是焦點？

try taro instead. So yeah, this is made with taro root. I've never tried that before. So

是的，你可以告訴。

I'm going to take a half bite so I can show you what it looks like inside.

看那個。

Mmmm.

和頂部的餃子，你可能已經注意到 它擁有完美的漩渦。

Mmmm.

顯然，廚師掐它18 次得到造型美觀。

It is like purple.

所以，我的意思是像的細節就是那張在量 這個是瘋狂的。

Wow.

它是如此美味。

That is like manioc.

所以我只是要繼續吃。

Like sweetened manioc. Do you like it?

讓我們去另一個。

Mmmm.

放開湯。

What do you think? It was not what I was expecting but it is not bad.

噢拉啦。

Lasting impressions of Din Tai Fung (鼎泰豐 - 鼎泰丰). Oh, this place was fantastic.

更多生薑。

Not only was the food really good but the service was very attentive.

讓我們把大量的生薑在那裡。

So in terms of the price point looking here it is five hundred and twenty eight Taiwan

我不害怕姜。

dollars which is sixteen dollars and fifty cents US.

哈哈。

So you're looking at roughly eight dollars per person and that was for four different

而在它又來了。

things and unlimited tea. And it includes the service charge. Yeah.

嗯。

So I mean that. How can you get better value than that?

奇妙的是不是？

I mean we're leaving full. We're leaving satisfied and it also didn't cost a fortune either so

好吧，讓小籠包（小籠包 - 小籠包） 是驚人的，但我們確實為了更多的食物，所以我們

highly recommend this place. I know for a fact we'll be back again before leave Taipei

必須繼續前進。

(臺北市).

我們做到了。
