Din Tai Fung Returns with its 9th Xiaolongbao Day, Featuring Two New Flavors for 2024

Din Tai Fung is marking its ninth annual Xiaolongbao Day with a flavorful twist, introducing two exciting new varieties of its famous dumplings. Inspired by the rich culinary traditions of China and Singapore, these new flavors add a fresh dimension to the beloved dish. For one week only, fans of the iconic plump dim sum can enjoy this special celebration of bold, international tastes, making this year’s event a must-try for food lovers everywhere.

In honor of Xialongbao Day 2024, Din Tai Fung is launching two new XLB flavors that delve into the fascinating tastes of Asia. The first is Scallop and Prawn Laksa, a noodle soup that is modeled after Singapore's well-known dish. A spicy and sour broth, sweet coconut, and spicy sambal sauce, together with fresh scallops and prawns for meaty bits, fill this soup dumpling.

The second new challenger is Wagyu Mala, which is entirely Chinese in origin (the word "mala" obviously relates to the Sichuan province's distinctively fiery and numbing seasoning). The Japanese wagyu stuffing in this new dim sum dish is complemented by a tongue-tingling soup made with Sichuan peppercorn, cinnamon, and star anise for spicy, comforting slurps.

Din Tai Fung's annual Xiaolongbao Day celebration is taking things up a notch in 2024 with two bold, new flavors that honor the culinary traditions of Asia. The Scallop and Prawn Laksa, inspired by Singapore’s famous noodle soup, offers a spicy, tangy broth with sweet coconut and sambal sauce, while the Wagyu Mala delivers the fiery, numbing sensation of Sichuan cuisine with tender Japanese wagyu filling. These limited-edition dumplings, available only from October 23 to 29, are served in 3-piece and 5-piece baskets for dine-in, making them a must-try during this week-long event.
