Very much looking forward to the Maldives Gili Lankanfushi portion. It's one of my "potential" hotels for my "potential" trip to MLE next year.

I heard from a friend that the Din Tai Fung in AUS are franchises where the original Taiwanese owners sold the rights to a Chinese restaurateur based in AUS. That is probably why the quality is not up to par with some of the directly managed branches in the states and in other Asian countries.
