Din Tai Fung Opens Two-Storey Dumpling Palace in Sydney
Those xiao long bao dumplings are going south.
Dumplings are a hot commodity in this city. The ability to encase pure, unbridled joy in an edible cocoon of merriment is an art respected by Sydneysiders citywide. Select few dumpling palaces are at the top of their game, those you’d happily wait many an agonising minute for. If you’re any kind of dumpling aficionado, the words Din Tai Fung will have already sprung to mind. Start mixing that chilli/soy balance, the dumpling monarchs have some big ol’ news for you — they’ve opened another new restaurant.
Arguably their biggest and most ambitious restaurant yet, Din Tai Fung are opening a two-story, 220-seater eatery at the newly renovated Westfield Miranda. Snuggled amongst the Kingsway precinct, Din Tai Fung's newest member will be cranking out those Xiao Long Bao dumplings you know and love in a brand new setting. The realms of Poseidon are the thematic flavour of the day at the new DTF, Featuring fish scale-like tiling, large koi murals, white-washed walls and aqua detailing.
The newest DTF comes after last year's opening of the Chippendale chapter. Southern Sydney residents won't have to commit to an hour trek for those famous Dumpling Gems. "It’s about time we brought our well-loved dumplings down to Sydney’s south," says Australasian director Dendy Harjanto. "We’ve always had Shire customers asking us to bring our dumplings closer so when we were invited to be part of the Miranda revamp we said yes, and what great timing with Lunar New Year just around the corner."
Din Tai Fung pumps out over 6000 dumplings daily, with dumpling training carried out at the World Square HQ. It takes two years to become a dumpling master. Two. Years. RESPECT YOUR DUMPLINGS.
Din Tai Fung Miranda can be found at Level 2, Kingsway Restaurant Precinct, Miranda Westfield Shopping Centre, Miranda. Open for lunch Monday to Sunday 11am – 3pm, and for dinner Thursday to Saturday 5 – 9.30pm, Sunday to Wednesday 5 – 9pm.
