Description of Our Community: “Din Tai Fung” was first established in the Yongkang Shopping District- the famous food district located in Taipei. The central area of the Yongkang Shopping District is the Yongkang Park, and this district covers Yongkang Street, Lishu Street, Qinhua Street and the intersection of Yongkang Street and Xinyi Road Sec. 2. There are many varieties of delicious food that we can enjoy in this shopping district, which include Taiwanese traditional snacks, Chinese noodles, desserts, international cuisines, and the coffee shops, Taiwanese ice shaving and so on. The head store of Din Tai Fung in Xinyi Road is always overcrowded everyday during lunchtime and dinnertime. That is also an amazing sight in the Yongkang Shopping District.

Project Description: Originally, Din Tai Fung was an oil store. In the 70’s, Din Tai Fung Oil Store’s business was impacted from mass production of the salad oil. Consequently, Din Tai Fung started to sell dumplings. However, they never thought that owing the excellent quality of food and top quality service could bring Din Tai Fung into a famous food kingdom all over the world. Din Tai Fung has successfully developed from a small dumpling store into a multinational business. Throughout time, Din Tai Fung has its own beliefs, transitions and success. This research will deeply discuss the insistence and efforts Din Tai Fung paid in order to create an international brand of “dumplings.” We data reviewed some activities such as the food critiques, questionnaire analysis, personal interviews, and field visits.
