Din Tai Fung’s festive favourite, the Steamed Lola Lava Chocolate Bun, makes its long-awaited return this holiday season.
Available at all outlets islandwide from 1 November to 31 December 2025, this sweet treat is back to spread some chocolatey cheer.
Steamed Lola Lava Chocolate Bun 4/5
The Steamed Lola Lava Chocolate Bun ($4/piece, $11.40/3 pieces) features a soft, pillowy bun encasing a molten chocolate centre that oozes with every bite. It’s rich yet balanced in sweetness, without being cloying.
Oriental Salad in Special Vinegar Dressing 4/5
Beyond the festive offering, we also had a few of Din Tai Fung’s classic dishes. The Oriental Salad in Special Vinegar Dressing is always our go-to starter, being refreshing, tangy and savoury all at once. It’s a good sharing starter.
Steamed Pork Xiao Long Bao 4/5
No visit to Din Tai Fung is complete without the crowd favourite Steamed Pork Xiao Long Bao. Each delicate ‘bao’ features thin skin that holds tender, juicy pork and a burst of well-seasoned broth.
Steamed Chilli Crab & Pork Buns 3.8/5
The Steamed Chilli Crab & Pork Buns were fluffy and served piping hot. Though we wished for a bit more filling, the blend of savoury pork and mildly spicy chilli crab sauce made for a fun, locally inspired twist
Oriental Wantons with Black Vinegar & Chilli Oil 3.8/5
The Oriental Wantons with Black Vinegar & Chilli Oil were decent, with a pork filling and tossed in an appetising vinegar and chilli oil mix.
Noodle with Spicy Sauce 3.8/5
While the Noodle with Spicy Sauce had addictive spice, we wished it came with more ingredients to pair with it.
Fried Rice with Pork Chop & Eggs 4/5
The diners from our neighbouring table ordered a plate of fried rice each, and it’s a testament to how popular Din Tai Fung’s Fried Rice is. We like how it is always consistently seasoned, fragrant and well-fried. Our favourite rendition is with their hearty pork chop, but you can also opt for it plain, with shrimps, shredded pork, and even truffles.
Dry Noodles Tossed in Scallion Oil with Shredded Pork 4/5
It was our first time trying the Dry Noodles Tossed in Scallion Oil with Shredded Pork, and we became new fans. The springy noodles were well-coated in aromatic scallion oil and topped with shredded pork.
Beverages
For beverages, we tried the Earl Grey Ice Lemon Tea and the new Four Seasons Tea with Peach Gum. Both were surprisingly tasty, albeit a little too sweet.
