Dian Xiao Er

It was mummy's birthday and it didn't take her long to decide on Dian Xiao Er for lunch as her birthday treat with the family!


Dian Xiao Er

Really long walkway

I haven't been to the other Dian Xiao Er outlets, but this one at Jurong Point is huge! Just for their main entrance alone, they already used like 1/4 of the whole restaurant and there are still plenty of seats inside! Of course, their theme is really cool and I love the ambience!

Broad beans

They put in a whole lot of effort in designing their menu as you can see and read...

Loving the manual menu !

Makes me feel eating their duck is wholesome awesome!

We started off with Fish Maw Thick Soup with Black Fungus which basically have the same soup base as shark's fin soup. I've always liked shark's fin soup not because of the fins but because of the thick and saltish broth which is oh-so-yummy. It's ridiculous how Chinese thinks eating shark's fin is a sign to show their status when shark's fins are not even delicious in the first place without this tasty soup base!! Not to mention, the massacre of sharks just for their fins is a pathetic practice that should be frowned upon.

Fish Maw Thick Soup with Black Fungus ($30)

Plenty of fish maw...

... and crab meat!

There's nothing not to love about their fish maw soup! The soup was cooked just right to a starchy texture that was not too salty and thick. The generous amount of seafood were also a pleasant surprise. Enjoyed the soup very much! Must try!

Although the soup took a while to arrive, the remaining dishes followed one after another in no time which were great for my growling stomach!


Chinese Spinach Superior Stock ($17)

As simple as the vegetable is, the chef did a great job whipping it up to taste like a million bucks. With the dried shredded scallops and really awesome stock with wolfberries, the ikan billis added also gave a heavenly touch to lift the aroma of the sweet and fragrant chinese spinach cooked in superior stock.

Braised Mushroom in Chinese Wine ($16.50)

This was the least spectacular dish overall. Oyster mushrooms in a very light gravy that has a slight tinge of Chinese Wine. There was also too much ginger added making it my least favourite dish for the lunch. Kinda expensive too for such cheap mushrooms that are readily available in all supermarkets.


Dong Po Pork ($18.80)

Dong Po pork is well known for it's really tender and fatty pork belly with a melt in your mouth sensation. Dian Xiao Er's one was well braised but the meat was abit tough still.
Last but not least, their signatures are their ducks which comes in three different styles - each with different health properties and benefits.


Great menu for calories conscious customer?

And for each of their dishes, they would indicate the amount of calories which is really impressive cause they really do make sure you know what you are eating with such health considerations for each dish! They also have 3 sizes for almost all their dishes - small, medium or large!

Duck Roasted with Ten Wonder Herbs ($41)

You can choose to have half of the duck in another style but we chosed the whole duck in ten wonder herbs.

Crispy shiny glossy tasty yummy!

This is indeed the dish you must order while at Dian Xiao Er. My favourite has gotta be this! Really well roasted with a supreme flavour and great taste! Not to mention, the duck was very crispy and the meat wasn't too dry making it easy to bite through. Truly enjoyable together with the saltish soya sauce that has a very nice herbal taste!


Except for the whole duck and soup, all the other dishes were of medium portion for around 7 of us. More than enough food and I left feeling really satisfied from good chinese food! Service was pretty prompt too and the duck and soup made me a very happy girl! =D
