- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 ส.ค. 2024
- We went to Din Tai Fung for, perhaps, the best dumpling experience of our lives. Xiaolongbao, aka soup dumplings, are dumplings in their perfected form. They can't get any better. We'll show you how to eat them in this week's Food Adventure Program For Awesome People!

You guys are a prime example of cultural appreciation rather than appropriation. It's really refreshing. You guys have great personalities and it's cool how open you guys are to new experiences.
+Justine Richardson thank you!
Beary the Bear lol what? The disrespect of other peoples lives and culture is so insignificant to you that you'd put someone down for bringing it up? Assuming you've never had to deal with appropriation, it gets VERY tiresome after experiencing it for a while, and most of the time it borders on racist. So, I'm sorry that you've been made uncomfortable by a topic that is still an ongoing issue for many cultures (because it's not like members of the appropriated culture are more rightfully and justifiably uncomfortable or anything...) But it makes YOU cringe, so I guess we'll just have to deal with it, right? :/
It's like saying "the concept of cancer makes me cringe, never speak of it." (obviously not to that extreme but it has the same underlying connotations).
@@bearythebear69 Please never use the word " retarded " in that respect, ever again. It doesn't just make me cringe, it physically enrages me to see other people in the modern world, using an outdated term that heavily insults the mental capacity of others. Never. Never come to an adult conversation, and throw around outdated insults, talking about current events/topics/concerns. Cultural appropriation, exists. And when anyone, from any cultural background says " hey guys don't do that, it's racist and insulting " - the aforementioned act they are speaking of, is considered cultural appropriation. Sorry you live in the past where people don't seem to care about how their actions affect other people?
@@itmekilian6471 please never act like a self-righteous shit in that respect, ever again.

Is this where Simon's cucumber addiction started?
Sooo thankful that Din Tai Fung has spread to so many countries, or we'd be flying to Taiwan every other month... or week~
Simon's food descriptions = "lovey" and "delightful" (very eloquent)
Martina's food descriptions = "oh man" and "wow" (probably what I would say) LOL
We went to Taiwan and had perhaps the best dumpling experience of our lives, over at Din Tai Fung
Looks so yummy please reply!
+ang q HI!
+Simon and Martina Hi! i am such a HUGE HUGE HUGE HUGE fan of you guys really hope to meet you one day
+ang q I hope so too! Where are you from? Hopefully we can have an event there soon :D
+Simon and Martina Went there once on a trip to Taiwan. While their food is great, I need to give special props to them for their service. I seem to remember being welcomed in from the street.
Wow! Someone was really fast and made English subtitles for this right away. Thank you, kind stranger!

"did i tell you how much i love soup dumplings?"
LMAO
I. Am. So. Hungry.
I AGREE
why would you do this to me, I've been in Asia for years with the Din Tai Fung a 10 minute walk away from me, but now I'm back and Canada and I can't eat it, then you finally make a video
there's one in seattle
+Rachel Snow theres a din tai fung on 3235 Hwy 7, Markham, ON L3R 3P3 if you live in toronto
+Rachel Snow Markham, Scarborough, and Richmond Hill are riddled with stellar dumpling shops. They're literally everywhere, haha.
+Mandy Ho that's called ding tai fung, not din tai fung and is not part of the same chain. it's still one of the best places for soup dumplings though in Markham
+Jemuel Bonaobra ohhh I never knew that. But I'll keep that in mind
Can you please adopt me and take me with you to these places please?! 😊
+TheMasterBacon_ _ That depends. How good are you at rapping?
I'll drop a little wop wop right now if you want 😎
+TheMasterBacon_ _ I'll kick a beat you drop a verse:

DIN TAI FUNG IS EVERYWHERE IN SINGAPORE HOHOHO COME BACK TO SINGAPORE SOON LOVE U GUYS SO MUCH
Sup im frm SG too.
YEAH BUT THE QUEUE ALW SO LONG *CRIES*
OMG YESSSS ITS AWESOME AND A FELLOW SINGAPOREAN :)
YASSS TRUE COME TO SINGAPORE WE WILL FOLLOW U EVERYWHERE I MEAN ER HM DIDNT SAY ANYTHING U HEARD NOTHING
I know right
Lol I don't know if I already commented on this video but I love watching Simon slowly go down the path to his cucumber addiction
Russian subtitles are now up as well! Thank you to whoever made them!
Simon and Martina your welcome
Din Tai Fung definitely has the tastiest Xiao Long Bao I've encountered. I eat it almost like the way shown in this video except I sometimes add chili oil. You guys sure looked like you had a LOT of fun with this video!
I wish to have a bathtub filled with these magic dumplings. The hardest part of filming a food video is re-watching your own video but being unable to eat that food again. *sobs*
I like how every single person says that there are rules to eating it. And then they all eat it in different ways.
Haha! That's true. When I was eating xiaolongbao I always forgot to poke a hole to let the soup come out, so I always burn my tongue.
Madra the rule to eating them: do not just pop them into your mouth while they are till steaming hot :')
for real I cannot watch most of the SImon & Martina's food & FAPFAP videos without eating something similar to what they are eating....but in this case I have to eat my xiao long bao along with them otherwise you instantly regret it. That and I definitely follow the rule of having those chinese soup spoons and poking the whole of each on otherwise it hurts like a mother because you burn the roof of your mouth & tongue and then lose like 50% of your taste buds which is a damn shame for such a delicious dish.
Polish and French subtitles are now available as well. You guise are awesome! Thank you for helping out and making them!
That moment when you love your life because you a Singaporean and eat it almost every week
I FOUND YOUR SENPAI EYYYYY
Jimin is my soulmate
hey Army !! 😃😃😂😂
I got to spend a few weeks in Singapore and after eating at Din Tai Fung a few times I am extremely jealous of you
Taiwanese subtitles are now up! That's awesome! Thank you, whoever you are, for making them!!
didn't know that Taiwan had its own language...
Eddie Huang says if you eat your dumplings like that your a hooligan 😂
I guess we're hooligans. GANGSTAAAAAAAAA
Awesome! Someone made Slovak subtitles for this video! Thank you!
Spanish subs now up, too! Thank you for makign them :D
It was me! Your videos are so cool.
We have one of those here in the Seattle area about a ten minute walk from me, but the wait is always ridiculous, so I've never been. Now I'm thinking I'm going to have to just suck it up and get in line. :)
+genjii931 its worth it. I live in Southern California and we have 3 restaurants here. I eat at Din Tai Fung at least once a month.
Eh. Gets the job done if that's the only soup dumplings around you.. But in Taiwan and Shanghai there are better options..
+Thi Phan you should suggest them the best restaurant that they can go to while they're there
+Thi Phan well of course Taiwan or Shanghai would be better but its not like i have 1000 dollars laying around just to go there and eat dumplings. And it is the same restaurant so its might not be as good but still worth eatting at. :)
+genjii931 The one in University Village? I've been there and I didn't wait at all. I went around 2-3? It was almost empty
I regret watching this without any food by my side...
I've watched this video four times! And I am not ashamed!
so glad there is a din tai fung in my city haha
bless los angeles
salant96 there's 3 in mine, lmao.
salant96 there's 3 in mine, lmao.
Actually there is a way to eat 小笼包! (Soup dumpling) there is a little song or rhyme that they made up! Can't rmb exactly but they say bite a hole in the top and drink the soup before eating the meat and dumpling! Also, it's pronounced more like 씨아우 렁 바우! Just FYI haha^^
I love 小笼包 too! ^^ literally fell in love at first bite haha
Ya I eat it that way
Oh My Gourd those squash ones look amazing!
My boyfriend's family lives in Taiwan and now I am more excited than ever for when we get to go visit them. Give me all the soup dumplings!
+Simon and Martina Hey guys, just in case you don't know, they have din tai fung in Korea. One of the locations is in myeongdong, anyways, have a nice weekend/thanksgiving!
"I'm gonna go back and have some more soup dumplings...screw you" LOLOLOLOL
I'm right there with you. lol
You know Simon and Martina are the best channel ever when you can rewatch all their videos without getting tired of them 😄
Wanna know something weird that I miss from traveling in Asia? Sharing food with strangers. It happened a few times but one of the most memorable was when I was in Bangkok and I was sitting at this huge long table and the couple sitting near me saw me staring jealously at their fried fish cakes and they just gave me some. Just passed one right over and smiled! We attempted conversation as best we could, I shared the cucumber sauce that had come with my (already finished) crab cakes and gave them one of my black pepper prawns, and they showed me where their favorite places to eat were. This happened so many times too! I miss that friendly hospitality of the people I met while I was traveling.
Some other foods I shared with strangers: curry, dumplings, some street food dessert thing I'll never know the name of, crickets (seriously), sesame candies, and a container of fried quail eggs
Fuckin' hooligans. You're not supposed to poke a hole in it, just let it bathe in the vinegar.
-Eddie Huang
It says to do so in the menu :P
Pumpkin Warrior I made a Huang's World reference.
If you have nothing nice to say don't say it
Alperen Safi Oh sorry :P
Pumpkin Warrior It's cool. :)
My mother's homeland, yessss. Xiaolongbao is life!
When you let some of the soup drip from the spoon and fall on the table. Mum: "Ayah, hao ke xi, lou."
Love XLB so much! its like eating happiness in small soft pillow form.
I am crying right now. I watched your secret soup dumpling video last year and then got a chance to go to Singapore and happened upon soup dumplings. I miss then so much.... :'(
I miss this
I'm totally starving right now... ;_;
i couldn't watch this video cause i knew id start crying. I love taiwan. I studied politics here and this place was my favorite. I went all the time to this exact one, everyone does. I stayed at the The Howard, close to SOGO!
Simon and Martina you should definitely come visit again!!!!
yall they have one is Seattle and I was on a food high for 2 days afterward. it's a long wait, but it's SO good
OMG! I was just talking about this restaurant with my sister recently. This video is literally the answer to my prayers!
+Eric Lee Perfect! We've got some extra scenes on our bonus channel as well if you want to show your sister as well :D
+Simon and Martina I've been looking forward to videos from your trip to Taiwan because that's the country my parents are from :) So seeing this video made my night. and thanks for the reply!
my boyfriend is currently living in Taiwan and he said they got awesome foods and affordable price! I'm excited to visit Taiwan next year :D
I have eaten at Din Tai Fung in Bellevue WA many times. The soup dumplings are what dreams are made of. So so so good. Love it!
You guys still need to go to the original xiao long bao restaurant in Yuyuan garden in Shanghai. Those xiao long bao are the OG of xiao long bao and they’re best enjoyed with Chinese black vinegar and maybe a dash of soy sauce and a bit of ginger if liking ginger. I’ve never been to a Din Tai Fung myself but considering it’s a chain restaurant I’d probably dare to say it’s the McDonald’s of dumplings. Nothing wrong with the taste and quality most likely and I’d still love to go to a DTF as I love dumplings, but the fact remains it’s a chain and not a small mom and pop shop. And I like McDonald’s as well, so there’s that lol Even though the local little privately owned burger and hotdog joint is by far superior when it comes to burger menus. Same price range as McDonald’s but the burgers at the small place are just to die for! It’s so crazy good and they even use brioche buns which hardly ever happens here unless going to some very fancy place that charges overprice for fast food dishes
I love your food porns.. they make me envious, salivate and get curious.. Food is an adventure on its own when you travel..
Martina.. what happened with your eyeshadow.. it looks weird!
4:55 I legitimately cried of laughter. I was not prepared for that moment.
So it's 4:48am here in Canada and I should really be sleeping but here I am asking myself why I clicked this video when I am starving! and now, here I am watching and salivating. Soup dumplings are my FAVORITE and I would love to go to Taiwan and try these dumplings! The KING OF DUMPLING! LOOKS SO DELICIOUS!
Mankind seriously needs to make a machine that pops out food out of the internet, looool!
I always look forward to all your videos especially FAP! and one day I will make it my goal to go and try all these places you went too! :)
Uhh? I'snt that Steve's Version of eating Soup Dumplings? 😱 (FEAST MODE HUNGER SQUAD!)
+OhhItsTiff x noooo steve is eating the soup dumplings the right way... so its not his version xD
OMG yes!! I'm not the only one❤️
THATS WHAT IM THINKING!!
Yaay i'm not Aloneee!!
+OhhItsTiff x Buzzfeed fans!!
Did anyone see that Ginger fly off of Martina's Dumpling?
We have a DinTai Fung here in Orange County California and it is amazing. I did a short video on the dumpling preparation. I think that the menu may be slightly different but it is the same cuisine. My husband, who is from Japan says that there are a lot of great chefs in Taiwan because all of the talent fled to there after the Chinese Revolution. Din Tai Fung is always crowded, partially because of the food and partly because South Coast Plaza gets a lot of Chinese visitors doing a lot of last minute shopping. Before that, mom and kids go to Disneyland and dad goes to Vegas to play some Pai Gow.
No matter what videos of yours I'm watching TH-cam feels the need to recommend I watch this video. . . I click it almost every time. BAO IS MY FAVORITE (both in Nikuman form and soup dumplings hooooly dang. I would love to go here someday!)
pork truffle ... talk about irony .... :-D ...
after the pig find the truffle, they get cooked with truffle ... brutal!! LOL
You don't need to poke a hole in the bao just wait a little while for it to chill and all the soup exploding in your mouth when you take your first bite is much more satisfying then poking it.
Gabby Peng I thought I was the only one who eats it that way haha thank you
They added a Din Tai Fung to a mall near me and the line and wait list rival some incredibly fancy restaurants. The soup dumplings are always a must have for when I bring friends. The wait is worth it imo.
Went to Din Tai Fung in Seattle and it was just as amazing as they said. I can't believe for the 5 truffle and pork soup dumplings Simon and Martina ate was $25!!!! And those spicy wontons... To die for
I feel so guilty for drooling over these even though I'm a vegetarian... this literally always happens when I watch F.A.P. F.A.P.S
I think Taiwan is the best country in Asia. Economy wise, Food wise, Safty wise and People educational wise ass well so good!
Lee Deltronsbet Not knocking Taiwan or anything, but I live in Singapore, which is also a country in Asia and I feel that transport, education and safety is a lot better in Singapore... 🙂 Taiwan has better food though, but there's a great variety of food in Singapore too, from Chinese to Malay to Indian cuisine and more.
I've gone to Din Tai Fung in Los Angeles once and I absolutely loved it! When I'm older, I want to eat all the marvelous foods around the world just like you guys!
I went to din tai fung in Sydney and couldn't believe how good it was, I can't imagine how good they'd be an in Asian country!! Drooling!
how many "I came" faces can Simon possibly muster?! 😂
I wonder if Simon and Martina know if Amber have a TH-cam channel called,"What the Pineapple" . Or they did knew her channel but didn't subscribe😕😜
I would say that xiao long bao is a culinary masterpiece- simple yet exquisite.
In mongolia, we also have many types of dumplings. But dumplings we have are much different than other asian dumplings. To make dumpling with soup in it, we add water into the meat when seasoning and mixing the meat. So meat is usually very juicy due to water being added and when it is steamed that water boils and soup is made inside dumpling.
Interesting! I'd like to visit Mongolia someday. Do you use lamb meat?
PandaBaby51 Not lamb meat but mutton aka Old sheep meat. The reason is that we are nomads and our livelihood depends on our livestocks. We get milk, meat, wool, cashmere, leather from them in other word we get everything from them. So for us consuming young animal is impossible. We would rather get few years worth of milk and wool than eating tender meat.
But also mutton tasted different than lamb, you know. Also we eat beef and in very rare case, horse meat. In gobi desert people very rarely consume camel meat. So you can say we only eat mutton and beef. There is nothing exotic about our cuisine :3 we even don't eat fish that much. Most nomads have eaten fish handful of times in ones lifetime, i guess, considering we have numerous rivers with plenty of fishes in them yet people don't care about them. Only exotic one I can think of is marmot meat which has been delicacy for people of eurasian high plateau for centuries. Though nowadays we came across marmot meat then once every few year since government has enacted ban on hunting them.
Me imagining God~ "we must have certain foods in heaven or too many people will be sad."
the whole no tears policy is a thing ;)
what if they made Soup dumpling with lamb *daydreamer face*
Hey guys!! It's been a long time! 😄
+Aseel AlShawa We had a crazy week! I'm sorry. We've got another video coming out tomorrow, though :D
+Simon and Martina No, I mean it's been a long time since I've spoken to you through the comments! haha! Don't be sorry though, I think you guys are doing a great job at uploading videos whenever you can! Keep up the awesomeness! 😊😊😊
+Aseel AlShawa That's kind of you to say. Thank you for watching!
+Simon and Martina And thank you for putting in the effort! I'm really grateful 😁😁😁
I've been to the original din tai fung in Taiwan, and i thought it was the best soup dumpling ever. But then i went to Shanghai to a little famous hole in the wall.. whole different level
As a fellow Taiwanese my heart is so warm and fuzzy to see you guys enjoy Taiwanese food so much
I'm on this diet right now that won't let me eat anything other than chicken brown rice and greens and suddenly I'm so incredibly sad.
like ugly sobbing kind of sad.
+Yas Mean There there now. *pats you on the shoulder* there there.
Simon and Martina thank you. *sniffles* I broke down over mac and cheese the other day. But I didn't eat any!
It's all steamy and you guys keep moaning. I feel like someone forgot to ask for my credit card number before I got to see this
Well, if you want, you can tell me your credit card number now :)
Simon and Martina
I am very glad you two have a sense of humor about this sort of thing. I recall one of you using the account to like a joke I made once about Martina purchasing the Super Dickmann and being a sizequeen maybe, but that was also mortifying that you had seen the joke
+Arrowdodger Oh, we remember that comment alright :D
Simon and Martina
oh god. shaaaame
因為我無物
ahh i love everything about this video. foodgasm just by watching this and the way simon loves martina is just the most beautiful thing on earth. i wish you all the happiness in the world !
When they ate the first dumpling and started just dying of deliciousness I heard love is the moment playing in my head
WHY NO XIUMIN HEREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Xiumin is Xiumai.
Lmao
omg martina sang flaming lips..i love you even more
when looking at you guys its like looking at me and my boyfriend living your life. much love
Ahhhhh they sang the flaming lips song, I literally fall in love with these guys more and more every video
you're not supposed to poke a hole in it. just let it rest in the vinegar until it cools, then put the whole thing in your mouth and it bursts in your mouth. much better than ruining the surprise by poking holes in it. cmon guys.
Why aren't you guys 'Eat Your Kimchi' anymore but 'Simon and Martina'?
I'm Chinese and I've been eating these since I could remember, and I eat them with chopsticks and a spoon BUT instead of breaking it open on the spoon, I eat it by biting a small hole and then sipping it from there(also sometimes a spoon to catch any leaking soup) while then dipping a part of it in the soy sauce/vinegar. It's a bit more enjoyable that way too tbh^-^ ALSO totally recommend the GIANT ones that come with a huge straw right in the middle. They're amazing!
;-; The joys of only watching videos on my ipad is I can't see the "COMING NEXT WEEK" text on the lovely box and I was all like "WHY CAN'T I FIND IIIIIIT" now I feel like a dummy lol The dumplings make me super want food, thanks for the FAPFAP, It's truly one of my favorite things you guys do.
Her voice is like Ashley's from Buzzfeed :p haha
Pure food porn (I trust that you don't get offended by this, but take it as a compliment)
No, we don't get offended by that :)
with a name for a food show like FAP FAP they probably shouldn't get offended 😂
Great, another place to add to my travel list... I was honestly tearing up at times, this looked so good!!
I want nothing more than to experience the same kind of soup dumpling happiness Simon felt.
NOTICE ME SENPAI BEFORE I DROWN IN THE SEA OF COMMENTS!!!!
+Kuro SHOY I'M HERE TO SAVE YOU FROM DROWNING. QUICKLY: GRAB MY HAND!
With soup dumplings. You were suppose to bit the top of the dumpling then drink the juice then eat the rest of the dumpling afterwards.
was it bad that they ripped a hole in the bottom to drink the broth or?
Kat Deras it is because your suppose bit the top of the dumpling first then drink broth then finish the entire dumpling afterwards.
+Kat Deras there is nothing wrong with the way they do it. There are a lot of people who get nit picky but to be honest, at least 30% of the people in the restaurant are eating the same way. The people who insist on nibbling the top usually do so because they like to put some of the sauce or vinegar inside the dumpling.
chill it's just food. enjoy the video and relax
Mya Williams I am relax. But,that's how your suppose to eat it.
Straight up thought the thumbnail was a boy with blonde hair shaking his head. In other news, I LOVE DIN TAI FUNG OMG!!!! Used to work there and it's THE greatest.
Taiwan so needs to go down on my list of "places to visit" - *goes over to the map of the world and circles Taiwan in a bright red marker*
Thank you for another great foodie video!! Always a pleasure to watch! x
:O how come their name has changed? what happened to "eatyourkimichi" ???
+Thekla Maria They changed it back to their original name
Amber Barton i can see that :D im asking why?
+Thekla Maria something about youtube doing it itself no warning whatsoever
Many you tubers have explained that Google has changed apt of the channel names to reflect Google accounts
joenjwang OH :O
You guys should really go to Shanghai. BEST SOUP DUMPLING EVAH!
To anyone wondering if they're exaggerating how good it is... they're not. Din Tai Fung's Xiaolongbao are really that good! *drool*
Xiao long bao would be more authentic if you travel to zhejiang province or Shanghai
Martina you're looking significantly thinner!
+Raine S She had bad food poisoning in Japan and lost 10 pounds, so...yay I guess!
literally the worst idea to watch a food video from simon and martina at 1 am, while studying for a final. im so hungry now fml
My two favorite channels have finally went to Din Tai Fung. FungBros And Eyk. YAAAAAASSS~~~~
Talk about food porn!
I really wish I never went to the comment section
Taiwan's Din Tai Fung is so much better than Shanghai's....this is just sad...
yeh taiwan is the BEST! i went there last year with high hopes (from watching a bunch of dramas in the past haha) and was not disappointed. the first day i arrived i went up to a food stand and asked people what the guy was selling, and met two sisters and they ended up buying me a bubble tea! so i exchanged contact info and that weekend they took me to the night market and we ate everything!!
Din Tai Fung is awesome!! I went to the Taipei restaurant 9 years ago. I am happy that Din Tai Fung has a branch in Nagoya, Japan (where I live).
Omg they poked a hole 😣 thats a sin
