One not-so-fine day, I thought I would drown my sorrows in mami, so I went to Din Tai Fung at Wisma Atria on Orchard Road (Level 3) and ordered my favorite xiao long bao. It's siomai with soup trapped in the pouch. That they call it "bao" means it's actually considered a "pao", not a "mai"...but whatever. Eat this and you forget all your problems. It's light, and that's why I can finish six in one go. I think it has pork or beef inside.
Now, some people say that din tai fung is special because it was once picked by New York Times as one of the world's top 10 restaurants. This is misleading. Yes, it was picked. But that was in the 80s. And it was the original Taiwanese restaurant.
The Singapore franchise is just as good, of course, but just so you know.
