What to order from Din Tai Fung Singapore’s exclusive breakfast menu
Pan Fried Buns
Known as Sheng Jian Bao (生煎包), this particular bun is seared to crispy golden brown on the bottom while the tops are steamed to maintain a soft, fluffy texture, and stuffed with juicy fillings.
Din Tai Fung Novena offers four distinctive pan-fried buns – Pan Fried Pork Buns, Pan Fried Chilli Crab and Pork Buns, Pan Fried Shrimp and Pork Buns, and Pan Fried Cabbage and Pork Buns.
Pan Fried Pork Buns
The classic among the four, this no-frills favourite is generously filled with aromatic and juicy fresh minced pork. The filling is also infused with fragrant sesame oil, creating a rich and flavourful soup inside the bun.
Pan Fried Chilli Crab and Pork Buns
One of Singapore’s iconic dishes, the Chilli Crab, gets reimagined into a breakfast staple. This decadent bun blends freshly made crab meat with succulent pork filling. The result is a perfect balance of spice and subtle sweetness.
Pan Fried Shrimp and Pork Buns
Hungry for shrimp and pork wanton? Here, it appears as Pan Fried Shrimp and Pork Bun. This combination creates a delightful mix of textures from the firm shrimp and tender pork. Flavour-wise, it stands out with a subtle umami sweetness and tender bite to the filling.
Pan Fried Cabbage and Pork Buns
For a refreshing bite, opt for the Pan Fried Cabbage and Pork Buns. Filled with a mixture of tender pork and finely shredded fresh napa cabbage, they offer succulent juiciness. Furthermore, the cabbage adds a layer of crunch and a subtle sweetness, perfectly complementing the rich, savoury flavour of the pork.
Steamed Buns
For the health-conscious who prefer to have a less-oily alternative, there’s the fluffy soft sweet Steamed Buns. Handcrafted with lao mian 老面 (traditional sourdough), diners can choose from Steamed Chocolate Buns, and Steamed Purple Sweet Potato Buns.
We recommend the Steamed Butter Buns, inspired by the classic flavours of traditional toast with sugar and butter. The smooth golden-hued filling exudes the aroma of butter and complements the granular texture of crushed rock sugar for a rich and sweet treat.
Pair them either with Fresh Soya Milk (hot or cold) or Brewed Barley Drink (hot or cold) for a complete nutritious meal.
Breakfast Bundles
There are three combination sets to choose from and prices range from S$8.90 to S$9.90 excluding top-up options for specific items. Prices are also subject to GST.
Din Tai Fung’s breakfast bundles are available on weekdays from 8am to 11am, and on weekends from 10am to 11am.
Din Tai Fung Novena Singapore is located at 238 Thomson Rd, #01-05 Novena Square, Singapore 307683.
