Din Tai Fung

Today im went to Din Tai Fung to try their truffle xiao long bao

   Great!

they use a unique blend of black and white truffle to complement the natural flavours of the pork.

Truffles are rare, edible mushrooms that grow underground.

Truffles are a delicate and rare type of edible mushroom, which are mostly grown in Croatia, France, Italy and Slovenia.

They are also collected in Washington and Oregon states in US. Forming a symbiotic relationship with the environment, truffles grow underground among the roots of chestnut, elm, oak, pine and willows trees.

Farmers use pigs and dogs to locate them.

   Great!

The high price for truffles is due to the inability for humankind to grow them commercially or cost-effectively.

   Great!

the taste of xiao long bao is somewhat similar to the taste of the mushrooms,

their xiao long bao soup rich, and skin is very thin.
