Dian Xiao Er

It has been quite some time since I had dinner at Dian Xiao Er. I decided to go there for dinner today with my wife. They are well know for their Roast Duck. Here's what we have ordered:

- Roasted Duck with Ten Wonder Herb

The Ten Wonder Herbs has a sweet herbal taste that goes well with the Roast Duck. The duck is roasted till the skin is nice and crispy. The skin is thin and very fragrant, the meat is also soft and tender. Their Roasted Duck is indeed very good and you must try it yourself to believe.

- Roasted Duck with Ginseng

The Ginseng adds more flavour to the Roast Duck making it more fragrant with a slight tinge of bitterness. The duck is basically the same as the one with Ten Wonder Herbs, only that the sauce that was poured over the duck is different. This is salted while the other is sweet.

- Fish Maw Thick Soup with Canpoy

The Fish Maw Soup is delicious, it is thick and very tasty. If you add vinegar into the soup, it will enhance the flavour, making it more appetising. You can also find ingredients like chicken strips, fish maw, sea cucumber and dried scallops. If you like a thick soup base, you will find this dish to your liking. But remember to eat it while it is hot or it can taste too choying.

- Chinese Spinach in Superior Stock

I find that the Chinese Spinach is pretty normal and can be better if the stock is thicker and tastier. However, I must say that the baby anchovies that were added were crispy and very fragrant. The wolfberries also gave the dish a tinge of sweetness.

- Claypot Bee Hoon with Chinese Wine

The Claypot Bee Hoon with Chinese Wine is delicious. The soup has a strong taste of chinese wine and you can find ingredients like prawns and frog legs that are fresh and succullent. I must also mention the fresh prawn paste found in the prawn head that makes it even sweeter. The bee hoon has absorbed the thick soup base hence making it very tasty. Every mouthful is so satisfying.

Overall, I find that the food is pretty good especially the Roast Duck. For all Roast Duck lovers out there, you can check out this place if you have not.
