1. Halal Chicken Xiao Long Bao at DIN by Din Tai Fung
You no longer have to travel up to Kuala Lumpur (KL) to have a taste of halal Xiao Long Bao! Located on the Level Ground of Mid Valley Southkey Mall, DIN by Din Tai Fung serves halal Xiao Long Bao, including Lamb and Sambal Chicken.
However, prices in DIN by Din Tai Fung are similar to Singapore’s Din Tai Fung outlets. If you don’t mind the price, then you should try the chicken flavours at least once for the novelty!
