Din Tai Fung — Steamed Yam Mochi Xiao Long Bao

At Din Tai Fung this Mother’s Day season, the spotlight is firmly on a beautifully inventive twist: the Steamed Yam Mochi Xiao Long Bao.

Wrapped in Din Tai Fung’s signature 18-fold pleats, each dumpling swaps the usual savoury broth for a soft, mochi-like skin that gives way to a smooth yam filling. The texture contrast is the real draw here - gently chewy on the outside, velvety and lightly sweet on the inside. The yam flavour is clean and refined rather than heavy, clearly made from carefully selected premium yam, which keeps the sweetness elegant and not cloying.

It feels less like a novelty and more like a thoughtfully crafted dessert xiao long bao, especially suited for sharing with family. At $12.80++ (6pc) or $15.80++ (10pc), it’s an easy add-on for a meal, but also distinctive enough to order on its own.

Available islandwide from now till 30 June 2026, it’s a limited-time item that fits the occasion well - simple, comforting and subtly celebratory without trying too hard.
