Easily one of my favorite restaurants is Din Tai Fung. It is a Dim Sum restaurant that has incredible standards for service, quality, baby friendliness, and cleanliness, and they even have a star in the Michelin Guide.
There are a lot of good dishes there; my favorite is “Tossed Wild Vegetable and Beancurd with Sesame Oil.” It’s not just my favorite there, it’s easily a top 5 dish anywhere for me.
Basically this is a steamed bun, filled with black sesame paste. Black sesame tastes a bit like peanut butter with a little sesame oil and bitterness added to it. I love it. In fact I love the flavor so much that I will buy anything I see with that flavor – like for example the Hong Kong mcdonalds sometimes has it as a sundae topping, and I go nuts. 😉
