For the first time ever, guests can take part in immersive experiences like Xiao Long Bao making workshops, tea etiquette lessons, and cocktail pairing sessions

At the heart of Din Tai Fung’s first Cocktail Tea Bar is a trio of signature cocktails, each one inspired by a character from the restaurant’s name — embodying heritage, harmony, and abundance — and thoughtfully inspired by Taiwanese tradition and local flavors. 

Din 鼎 (S$30) is composed of Bombay Sapphire Gin, homemade jasmine syrup, lychee juice, strawberry purée, and a splash of lemon juice. Delicate yet vibrant, this aromatic tipple is a refreshing prelude to a flavorful meal. 

Tai  (S$30) features citrus-infused Patrón Silver Tequila, fresh pineapple, lime juice, and a drizzle of honey. It is a tropical blend reflecting the symbolism of pineapple lanterns, evoking peace and balance with its sweet and tangy flavor profile. 

Fung  (S$30) is made with Bacardi Spiced Rum, Bénéroy Fine Calvados, fragrant house-made lemongrass and ginger syrup, lemon juice, and a hint of ginger beer. Representing abundance, the drink is a deeper, spiced character that boasts bold dimensions with a soothing warmth. 

Guests can pair these drinks and more with moreish bar bites like Taiwanese Fried Chicken 盐酥鸡 (S$9.80) and Taiwanese Crispy Battered Squid 酥炸鱿鱼 (S$11.80). 

Iconic Signatures, Fresh Innovations

While classic favorites such as the Steamed Pork Xiao Long Bao 小笼包 remain, guests can look forward to refined interpretations of these classic dishes. 

One highlight is the Steamed Beef Tenderloin Xiao Long Bao 牛柳小笼包 (S$18 for 6 pcs / S$27 for 10 pcs). Made with premium minced beef tenderloin, each dumpling delivers a burst of silken, umami-rich broth that coats the palate with a deep, satisfying flavor. It is also available in the form of Steamed Beef Tenderloin Buns 牛柳包 (S4.80 per pc / S$13.80 for 3 pcs).

The Steamed Kaya Buns 椰香咖椰包 (S$3 per pc / S$8.50 for 3 pcs) pays homage to Peranakan tradition, with dough kissed with palm sugar that imparts a gentle caramel hue and toasted grated coconut weaving through every bite that creates an aromatic depth of spice routes and heritage kitchens.
