Finally got a chance to have a meal at TM's Din Tai Fung! Went there on a weekday evening with a friend. No long queue surprisingly, we got shown to our seat after about 5 minutes of waiting.
As we had late lunch, we ordered only 3 items to share! We ordered the Xiao Long Baos (a must at DTF!), a plate of Fried Rice with Pork Chop and their Dou Sha (Red Bean Paste) Bao.
The XLBs were reall tasty when eaten with vinegar and ginger. No wonder they are the signature dish of DTF all over the world!
The fried rice was nicely fried till every grain was oily and shiny. Really good. The pork chop was so-so, didn't had much taste and was abit tough.
The red bean paste bao was nice! The paste was genorously given and the bao was really soft.
Overall, this meal was a very pleasant experience. The furnish of the restaurant is very traditional chinese and the service crew were all very polite and friendly.
Paid a little less than $30 for the meal for 2 pax. A little on the expensive side but I wouldn't mind going back to try their other dishes again!

Din Tai Fung at Tampines Mall had the initial long queues... They still have them but Saturday dinnertimes only.
I've been here twice but I seriously don't know why I went the second time after the first experience.
After hearing so much about this place from my colleagues, my friends and I head down to the place. It was a weekday afternoon so it was quite empty. We had some fried rice, the widely acclaimed crystal buns and the crystal buns with crabmeat.
The fried rice was a little oily but tasted normal. The crystal buns are alright too, but a tad too flimsy so we couldn't drink that much soup cos it spilled. The highlight was the crabmeat ones. There were 10 and I ate 2.... both had crab shells. Well if you want to think positively, they are pretty fresh in that sense... but seriously when you only eat 2 out of 10 and both have your teeth crunching down on the shells? BLAH. And the waitress didn't do anything when we told her about it.
The second time I went it was with my family. We ordered some crystal buns and some noodles and rice. All went fine. One crystal bun was already broken when it arrived but they changed it immediately. So that was ok.
They don't have much variety. And the crystal buns are the only exceptional items. If the crab shell incident didn't happen I'll probably give it 4 stars.
Parking can be a headache at Tampines Mall though.

If you like Crystal Jade's 小笼包, I'm sure you'll like 鼎泰豐's too. Feels like heaven as the soup seeps out from within with every bite!
I tried their noodles too, which is really nice. 色 - The noodles looks really appetizing and they come nicely arranged. 香 - Smells great when the bowl was served! 味 - And the taste is of course nothing but great. The noodles are smooth and the soup just perfect.
You HAVE to drop by this branch to try out their 小笼包!
