Din Tai Fung Australia Has Giant Rainbow Xiao Long Baos That Are 7 Times As Big As The Original

Din Tai Fung Giant Rainbow Dumplings In Sydney & Melbourne Till 15 Jun

It’s hard not to love xiao long baos — the meaty filling paired with luscious broth that erupts from the little wrapped-up dough when you puncture it with your chopsticks.

Restaurants in Singapore have taken the cue from fans, coming up with variations of the well-loved dish. These include xiao long baos with fillings like salted egg, chendol and even ginseng to zhng up their selection.

Din Tai Fung Australia takes it up a notch by introducing colours – literally – into their xiao long baos.

Behold, Din Tai Fung’s Giant Rainbow Dumpling.

Seafood & pork fillings

The Giant Rainbow Dumpling is a basically an enlarged xiao long bao, hiding seafood and pork filling under its multi-coloured skin.

Each of them goes for S$9.30 (AUD$9.80). A small price to pay this one-of-a-kind rainbow beauty.

Taking up an entire bamboo basket, or long zi, these dumplings are about 7 times the size of the original xiao long bao.

As if this wasn’t bao enough already, the dumpling also comes with a straw and a cute bao-shaped note warning of the piping-hot broth.

Curious how these dumplings are made? The folks at Din Tai Fung Australia has also very kindly made a video showing the process, which you can view here.

Basically, they mix up dough of different colours, fill it with a generous serving of meat filling and soup, and steam it in the long zi.
