Din Tai Fung - Dumpling

Dumplings, dumplings, dumplings.

 

Home of the world's best Xiao Long Bao. Din Tai Fung's soup dumplings are one of life's greatest gifts and no-one can make them better than DTF. From the moment you step into their restaurant you can see their team in the open kitchen intricately making these delicacies. You'll be forgiven if you start drooling even before you get to your table.

There is a real artistry about how these are made, and the staff are expertly trained - each dumpling has exactly 18 folds, all the dumplings are freshly made, and they arrive at your table at the perfect temperature (which is slightly too hot to eat so you need to take your time to enjoy them rather than wolfing them all down in seconds). This is such a treat and I'm honestly aggressively jealous if you've never experienced these xiao long bao as I would love to go back in time to try them for the very first time again, mmmmmmmmmmmmm....

Must eat: Xiao Long Bao. The only question is how many do you reckon you can eat before your brain catches up with your stomach?

Islington is definitely the prime centre of London’s gastropub scene right now, with the likes of The Pig & Butcher and The Drapers Arms leading the way to show the rest of the city how to do pub food. And, after a recent renovation, The Baring is pushing those boundaries again with a gorgeous reinvention serving some fantastic dishes.

Who doesn’t enjoy getting a bit of creativity into their lives? Get those juices flowing at cone8, a lovely little pottery studio in the quieter recesses of Hackney Wick. Some might say it’s the perfect aperitif ahead of an awesome night out across the canal in the busier areas of The Wick.
