MAKATI CITY — Din Tai Fung Philippines is celebrating its eleventh anniversary by introducing the Ube Crunch Xiaolongbao. This limited-time dessert features a creamy ube halaya filling with a delightful biscuit crunch. It is meticulously crafted using the brand's signature 18-fold technique to ensure a delicate wrapper. The Ube Crunch is the first Philippine-original sweet xiao long bao to join the menu in a decade. This innovative creation highlights a thoughtful fusion of local Filipino flavors and traditional Taiwanese culinary craft.

The Limited-Edition Birthday Basket

The new dessert is prominently featured in the all-new Birthday Basket, alongside the crowd-favorite Chocolate Lava Xiaolongbao. Each basket contains two pieces of the creamy Ube Crunch and two pieces of the warm Chocolate Lava variant. Diners can also opt for baskets dedicated entirely to a single flavor based on their personal preference. The Birthday Basket is officially available at the Power Plant Mall branch and other Manila locations from October 28 to November 26. Din Tai Fung branches in Clark and Cebu will begin offering this special promotion starting on November 9.

A Must-Try Experience in Makati

The launch of these dessert dumplings offers a playful and satisfying end to any savory meal at the restaurant. Diners can enjoy the Birthday Basket through convenient dine-in, takeaway, or delivery transactions. The Power Plant Mall branch at the R1 Level provides a welcoming setting for Makati residents and visitors. This anniversary offering perfectly blends homegrown flavors with the precision of traditional dumpling making. It invites locals and tourists alike to experience a unique culinary celebration while the limited-time promotion lasts.
