Being an avid curry lover and also a spicy lover ( I'm a spice newb LOL), it's a must to eat here.

This outlet is quite packed almost everytime I dined in. Not the less the service is still okay, quick ushering in to seats and friendly service.

The curry here are in 5 spice levels (mild to very hot). I'm tolerating 4 at the moment... My friends on the other hand are stuck at 2-3 interphase.

*Omelet Curries have fixed spice! ((




Crpisy chicken and warm curry! However from this you may see that the size of the chicken is RIDICULOUSLY TINY. Perhaps a time to upgrade?








Curries for the different dishes tasted similar - that slow settling spice only kicks in after a few bites and chews. There's even more spice on every table should you want to challenge yourself.

One thing I do relish is that you change the rice serving (hence changing the price) and add in stuff like tuna, corn, etc. However some dishes might not be worth ordering at all... ; )

Had been patronizing here for like 3 times? Hahahaha this place serves affordable and yummy steamboat items in a 'All-You-Can-Eat' manner.




A really quiet eating place as we are the ONLY customers they had in the afternoon. Perhaps it's the weekdays? The staffs were staring outside desperately.




Anywayz there was a huge variety of items to choose from. Ranging from assorted veggies, meats, tofu, dumplings and others like eggs, rice and other staples. There was also 7 different broths to choose from! Chicken, sweet corn, spicy (Ma la), laksa, etc.
Besides that a-la-carte dishes can be ordered (similar to cze-char stalls) in a separate menu.



Ordered Twice from the menu. Service was quick and efficient. Ordered the sweet corn broth but was disappointed as there were only 2 unfresh corns in a lightly flavoured soup. Wasn't tasty enough for me.
The other ingredients were okay, not marinaded so that you can taste the actual flavour of each ingredient. The good thing was that the broth gets more complex after more stuffs got added into it.



And be surprised by the array of sauces they provide! Garlic mixed with spring onion and sesame oil made everything nice.

OVERALL:

Great place for cheap steamboat eats, especially during lunch hours as they have a promotional price of $10.90 nett compared to the usual $18.90. Dont be shy to ask for seconds or thirds!

Dian Xiao Er. The renowned chinese resturant serves excellant dishes that are cooked hot and delicious.

Dined in at a weekday afternoon (2+), hardly anyone....

Was ushered in very quickly. Please get the seats inside for your privacy and view sake.




Meat was very succulent, with slightly crisp skin. Herbal did not overpower the aroma of the duck, which is nice. There's bones under every meat #Firstworldproblems




Quite an oily glaze can be seen in this. Tasted bland (health food), but I find it nice due to the crunchy texture of the chestnuts, carrots and snowpeas.




古老肉!!! Chinese classic that is not too salty, meat was more on the crispy and chewy side; which adhere to the tomatoy sauce quite substantially. The bell peppers are cooked just right - still juicy and hot! Don't you hate soft bell peppers




I'm more surprised to see the garlic are cooked to these crunchy bombs. As a garlic lover I thoroughly enjoyed biting into them! The veggie is not soggy and very light.




A simple meal that is done in high standards and fast speed. I really recommend this resturant if you had a 'chinese' craving while shopping around.

Desserts really complement the meal, and the wallet as well; @ $0.90 each, its really cheap!

I really like the Tao Suan served here. Not overly sweet, so it really smoothes the stomach as it is served warm. Youtiao was tasty!

* Small bowl designed so it wont occupy that much of your stomach capacity.

*Ok short and sweet and I have to write nonsense here to satisfy the word limit. *

Had lunch at this ever crowded Makan Place. Ordered this Yong Tau Foo at what seems to be a half crowded stall. Little did I know the queue is separated; one for order, one for waiting for food. Anywayz, there's this freaking unfriendly auntie that served me when I tried to order a mix noodle (i.e Yellow noodles with kuay teow). Apparently you can't order mixed at this stall, but there's no sign about this.




Didn't care much about that when the food came. NOMNOMNOM was it GOOD! Fried items were fried crisp and separated from the soup, noodles was quite nicely cooked. (al. dente-ly Q)

What I felt lacking was the curry, I feel it's just chilli oil over a thin spicy broth. Could be improved. (*Hint Hint more coconut milk )
