Every visit to Din Tai Fung offers a world-famous dining experience headlined by its renowned xiaolongbao. As it celebrates its yearly Xiaolongbao Day for the eighth year running, Din Tai Fung Philippines goes the extra mile by bringing you new flavors from neighboring Asian cuisines, namely, Kurobuta Pork Ramen, Wagyu Pho, and Lobster Tom Yum, all of which can be tried through its all-new “Flavors of Asia” Xiaolongbao Baskets.
