| - Wanted to update my critical 3-star review to THE FULL 5 STARS! Ding Tai Fung in the last few years has been THE place I visit on bad moods, cravings, "a visit to Markham!!", chat with friends over afternoon tea, and even giant family dinners.
I just didn't experience DTF fully! And now I did.
Xiao long baos are really really really good. It's not consistent, recently it's not so good. But many times out of many times, the skin is thin and almost clear! The meat just melts in your mouth and sooooooooo soft.
Spicy dumplings are good here! They're smaller than Hong Kong's version, but they are SPICY. And sweet. I find these more flavourful and have been my favourite dish from DTF Markham!
I also love the fried udon they do. After eating it, my breath smells like this all day long. It's worth the unladylike embarrassment.
There are three desserts I like from here. I always order the super delicious red bean pancake, served boiling hot. Sometimes I crave the big bread puff with sugar on top. And lastly the fluffy soft bread with sweet milk for dipping, this one is super good but very filling.
I still stand by my 3-star rating back in 2013. However since 2014 I am a happy, loyal customer.
What makes DTF 5 stars really is the staff!!! They are so nice to me. They don't know me, but they take care of me each and every time I visit. Super sweet ladies!!
