Dian Xiao Er always serves delectable food and this visit to the restaurant was no different. A trip to Dian Xiao Er is not complete without its signature roasted duck dish. This is the Duck Roasted with Ten Wonder Herbs ($25.30 for a medium-sized serving). The meat is soft and tender, the taste of the herbs subtle but still sweet.

A trip to Dian Xiao Er is not complete without its signature roasted duck dish. This is the Duck Roasted with Ten Wonder Herbs ($25.30 for a medium-sized serving).
The meat is soft and tender, the taste of the herbs subtle but still sweet. Even if you're not a herbal food fan, the taste of the herbs does not overpower the original taste of roasted duck. Usually, I do not eat the skin of roasted meats but I simply could not resist the crispy skin of this roasted duck. The skin was crispy and it had just the right amounts of gravy infused in it. What more can I say about the duck? I love it! A must-have when you visit Dian Xiao Er. Next up, we had the Braised Assorted Mushroom with Broccoli ($13.30).
Nice and simple fare with no-frills. Mushrooms were soft, broccoli were fresh. The gravy was not too starchy as well.
After that, came the soup of the day which was Lotus Soup ($5.80). Another simple and nice dish served quickly. They were generous with their chunks of meat and lotus roots and we were thankful for that.
Lastly, came the Roasted Lamb Grassland Style ($16.90). This dish had a hint of spiciness to it so people who cannot take even a little chili might want to avoid it. As always, the meat was soft and tender. However, I felt that this dish was a tad too oily for my liking. Overall, it was another pleasant visit to Dian Xiao Er. The servers were attentive and catered to my needs to their best abilities. Even though we went during dinnertime and there was a queue of about 6-7 people before us, we got our table pretty quickly within 10 minutes. Would definitely visit again!
