To step into Dian Xiao Er makes me feel like I'm one of the ancient Chinese travellers, stopping by at a traditional Chinese inn for some food and wine. Yes, Dian Xiao Er creates this rustic and raw ambiance with its furniture mainly made from wood and bricks. Even their menu is like a martial arts manual in the past. This environment complements the freshness of their herbal roast duck which are prepared and roasted in the display kitchen daily.Ordered their Duck Roasted with Ten Wonder Herbs.

Ordered their Duck Roasted with Ten Wonder Herbs. The ten herbs comprises of Incl Codonopsis Root, Foxglove Root, Licorice Root, etc. It is said from their menu that this dish can relieves mental stress and promotes longevity and people who are prone to nervousness will benefit from its calming effect. I love this dish as it is marinated in a combination of herbs and spices for hours and roasted for the right timing that the skin is golden brown and crispy while the flesh remains tender and bursting with juicy herbal goodness.
Their baby Kai Lan is stir fried with a dash of lime juice which gives the dish a tangy and refreshing flavour. It's almost like eating Thai Food.For me, just this two dishes is enough to make a satisfying meal. Thumbs up!
