Xiaolongbao, spicy wonton, and leeche boba slush at Din Tai Fung 鼎泰豐, a Taiwanese Michelin-starred restaurant. Outside Taiwan, Din Tai Fung also has branches in many Asian countries, Australia, the United Arab Emirates, and the US. // Xiaolongbao (Chinese steamed bun) originated in Shanghai. It is traditionally prepared in “xiaolong” (bamboo steaming basket), hence the name. // Wonton (Chinese dumpling), from Southern China, has many variations: Cantonese fills wontons with shrimp and minced pork, and serve them with red vinegar; other Southeast Asian countries like Indonesia and the Philippines fry their wontons and serve them with sweet and sour sauce. // Boba (or pearl / bubble / tapioca) drink is, of course, from Taiwan.
