Dian Xiao Er @ Tampines One

B and I went Tampines today and we decided to have our dinner at Dian Xiao Er, Tampines One.

Dian Xiao Er is a traditional Chinese restaurant that served typical Chinese food. The interior of Dian Xiao Er will make you feel like you are dining in a traditional Chinese inn, similar to that of those in dramas/shows. There are several Dian Xiao Er outlets around Singapore and this was actually the second time we dine in this outlet. In my opinion, I find that this outlet have nice viewing scenery and it is much spacious as compared to the outlet that was used to be at AMK Hub.

Dian Xiao Er, well known for their herbal roast ducks, is one of the dining place that we frequent. The reason being, we love their duck. I find that their duck is tender and juicy, and it taste really good. Whenever we patronize Dian Xiao Er, we will never fail to order their duck. Other than the duck, most of their side dishes that we have tried before taste very nice as well.

Most of the time, we will order the set meal for 2 because the price for set meal is much more cheaper as compared to a-la-carte. Today, we were early birds hence, we were entitled to 10% discount. However, the 10% discount does not include set meal. In other words, if we ordered set meal, we will not be able to use the 10% early bird discount. So, after consideration, we decided to order a-la-carte instead of set meal today because we decided to make use of the 10% discount to try those dishes that we have not tried before.

Well, it is always a routine for peanuts to be served once we were seated. However, you are able to let them know that you do not want the peanuts and they will take it away. But this time, the peanuts served was different so we did not make the request to take it away and below is the picture of the peanuts served today.

The dishes that we ordered today were Ginseng Duck, Assorted Mushroom and Soup of the day (西洋菜排骨汤).

Soup of the Day (西洋菜排骨汤)

I like the Ginseng Duck. I find that the duck is tender and juicy as usual, and the gravy taste good - it's nice especially when you mix the gravy with the white rice. The assorted mushroom was delicious and the broccoli is crispy and juicy. It taste so healthy and nice! Lastly, I find that the soup taste good but I don't really like to eat the meat. All in all, Dian Xiao Er is a restaurant that served nice typical Chinese food and they are well known for their herbal roasted duck. So, do try their duck when you dine there.
