Din Tai Fung’s Dumplings
You can’t go wrong with Din Tai Fung! Although not all children love Chinese food, most of them do love dumplings – and Din Tai Fung’s dumplings are a hit for a reason. The skin is thin, soft, and tender; and the filling is finely minced and blended so that kids will have fun enjoying every flavour without getting overwhelmed. They have noodles, too, in case your kid is a noodle lover!

WOK HEY’s Fresh Udon
On that note, if your kids love noodles, then WOK HEY has many options. For the kids who like their noodles thick, their fresh udon topped with grilled chicken, braised beef, or seasoned prawns are a good choice; while those who prefer thinner noodles can opt for fresh ramen instead. They also have rice meals here in case you’re in the mood for some rice.

Osaka Ohsho’s Chicken Karaage
If you think katsu may still look a bit too unfamiliar for your picky eaters, eat at Osaka Ohsho instead. They have chicken karaage that looks more like regular fried chicken and you can get some gyoza and fried rice for them, too – two more safe options that are sure to delight even the pickiest of eaters.

A-One Claypot House’s Porridge
Porridge is easy to feed to kids because it’s simple and homey.

However, it’s also nice to know that they have some generous porridge as a go-to just in case your kids aren’t in an adventurous mood after all.
