Din Tai Fung Australia launches giant rainbow Xiao Long Baos for S$9.30 each

Great for the 'gram, great for business.

From now till June 15, Din Tai Fung in Sydney and Melbourne, Australia will be selling giant, rainbow Xiao Long Baos (XLBs) for AUD$9.80 each, which converts to S$9.33.

The colours of the XLBs are inspired by Vivid Sydney, a three-week event that consists of music, light sculptures, and seminars.

Each bao is apparently hand-made and steamed fresh to order.

Expect fillings of seafood and pork swimming in broth, which you can drink up with a straw served alongside the dish.

Here's how the rainbow XLB will look among other dishes:

The chefs combine rolls of coloured dough and flatten it into a round pastry before wrapping the fillings in it.

Cool.
