Nicely fried cod fish. Was a bit pricey though.. but cod fish has never been cheap.
Price:$40
Taste of the wheatgrass was not distinct, drenched in a starchy sauce with mini pieces of prawns and veg. nothing to shout about for this dish.
Very thick and strong herbal taste, some parts of the duck was rather skinny though. Dian Xiao Er was said to get advice from the JB shop called 鸭王, tried both and they were indeed very similar.
Get the duck. Seriously. Outshines everything else. With the exception of the wine chicken - get that too.

Look at that blended yolk.. This white lotus with egg yolk had FOUR egg yolks blended in the core, so be sure to cut through the golden crust to reveal a rich, flavorful egg yolk equally shaved across the mooncake. They also serve the mooncake with roasted melon seed which is lower in sugar, so it should be able to suit the older folks.

Always liked their duck but with the promo it means more motivation to eat it! Crispy skin and super flavourful duck from the herbs, which I ended up eating as well ( which @apolishedgeek gave me weird looks for) 😋 The homemade wheatgrass tofu was really good too! What I loved abt @dianxiaoersg is their home-styled dishes that will not kill your wallet! #Burpple #burpplesg #dianxiaoer #psyduck
Biting through the crispy skin and into the soft and succulent duck was an unforgettable experience. The smell and taste of the delicious herbs blankets the duck in rich flavour and seduces your tastebuds. Promptly finished the rest of the half duck with my mate.
Not sure if it is because of the different branch(thus different chefs) that I visited. The fish slices were overcooked, roasted duck was very dry and clumps of cornstarch were found in the vegetable gravy. 🤔🤔 why ah.
Still, a affordable and fast meal to have here, with the gorgeous scenic sunset view!#DianXiaoEr #RoastedDuck #ChineseFood #VivoCity
The ribs were well cooked so they tore off quite easily from their bones, but overall there wasn't much kick as the sauce was not spicy enough!
Pillows of deep fried pumpkin and crispy lotus chips coated in salted egg sauce sounds promising doesn't it? A pity they seemed to have modified the usual salted egg sauce with the addition of something sweet and milky (condensed milk maybe?), which resulted in a taste that didn't sit quite right with me.
I really need to stop having takeaways cause my pictures are hideous :( Anyway, Dian Xiao Er is a good option if you're in need of a quick fix of good old comforting flavours. The dishes we always order are the Angelica Duck, which is very tender roast duck drenched in a fragrant, bittersweet (甘甜 pls pardon me) sauce - the restaurant will help to debone the duck at your request :), wheatgrass tofu (you can only see the mass of veggies that came with it from the picture) that is really delicate and smooth and made in-house, and the Dong Po pork belly which may be a tad inconsistent because we've had amazing, melty ones with THE perfect sauce but also not-so-amazing ones that needed more stewing. Other dishes I like include the claypot crocodile meat that is a tad salty but packed with umami, and the cereal prawns, which are aromatic, buttery and rich but not oily at all.
This is one of their (relatively) new dishes and it's my 2nd time having it. Thinly sliced lotus root and chunks of pumpkin battered and deep fried to a crisp, then coated in a luscious, creamy salted egg yolk and butter sauce. If you love salted egg butter crabs, you'll love this! This time we took away so the pumpkin was a little soggy, but it's reeeeeally good if you dine in like sensible patrons (haha)!
