One of our favourite restaurants is Din Tai Fung. I really wish they had a loyalty program because we would definitely chalk up many points and redeem that for lots of free meals if they had one.
One would not anticipate that a Taiwanese dumpling restaurant would be family friendly, but they certainly are, offering cute children cutlery which never fail to excite my children, and child-friendly options. We can specify that we do not want MSG in the food, and request to have less oil and salt in our food, and the servers wouldn't bat an eyelid. I think it's mainly cos they cook individual portions after orders are placed, unlike some other places where food is cooked in large batches.
Our children lurrrve the xiao long bao, which is also very child-friendly in that it is mainly minced meat and easy to chew. Calista can eat 6 on her own. She eats it the proper way too, scooping one dumpling carefully onto her spoon, bringing it close to her lips, piercing a hole in the dumpling skin, sucking the soup out before eating the rest of it.
P and I are pleased whenever we eat there, cos they eat so heartily and we know that none of the usual nasties that accompany outside food (MSG, excessive salt) is getting into them.. ^_^
They certainly deserve their Michelin star for the consistently good food they serve up!
