So, we popped by Din Tai Fung for an early dinner around 4+ in the evening. Odd timing for a meal, so got our table easily.

Of course, one would order the perennial favourite, the xiao long baos with 18-folds. Loved the pork broth.

On hindsight, one can skip the vegetable and pork buns. Very little pork and the filling was too dry. An almost grassy mouthfeel.

For main course, two plates of pork chop fried rice.

Hmm....fried rice was good looking and seasoned very very mildly. Pork chop was abit dry as well. But we were hungry, so into the stomach it went.
The plate of stir-fried vegetable took forever to arrive, so we ordered vegetable and pork dumplings. Oops, we wondered if it'll suffer the same fate as the dry vegetable bun.

It was actually better than the buns. The fillings were slightly moist and fattier bits of meat. Enjoyable with plenty of vinegar and ginger shreds.
Total bill came up to about $78 and fed a family of 5 adults.
