They have takeaway bentos now which are pretty value for money (+15% off for self pick up on Grabfood). Ordered the Duck Rice set and it came with wheatgrass tofu + some appetizers.
This dish is slightly on the pricey side at $27 but it’s a dish worth saving up for. The crispy outer layer accompanied with the tender cod fish makes such a good combination.
Must have is the Herbs Roast Duck! Unexpected dish that were really good were Golden Lotus Roots w Pumpkin (Mildly Spicy) & Deep Fried Kai-Lan w Floss. Lotus was fried really well and did not have the oily aftertaste. Kai Lan was soft and complimented the floss. Soups can be skipped.
Tampines 1 branch: Overall, i really like @dianxiaoersg! The food sits well with me. Great if you like strong flavoured food. They have a total of 11 outlets all over SG but i've only visited the Tampines 1 outlet so i can't speak for all, but the few times i've dined here, the food is pretty consistent.
Rating: 8.5/10
Will i return/recommend: Yes/Yes
Pros: Tasty dishes, good casual chinese restaurant ambience. Fresh ingredients. Fav dishes: Herbal roast duck, wheatgrass tofu, fermented bean kangkong, sea cucumber.
Cons: Pork dishes are not nice, too dry and tough. Most dishes are alright, nothing to shout about (but the few highlighted dishes are good). MSG laden. Understaffed, takes awhile to get their attention.
Price: S$60-80 on avg. for 2pax

Well infused with the dang gui, the meat is very tender too.

SUPER NICE FRIED RICE PLEASE!! So garlicky, so fragrant, so generous with their seafood. Definitely one of the better ones around.
