Dian Xiao Er , Vivocity

This is Colin's Favourite restaurant .

Dian Xiao Er which is known for their tasty herbal roasted ducks have gotten themselves an outlet in that place and business is extremely brisk. It is actually what I feel to be one of the better ones there amidst those that have chosen to set up business at vivocity. Service at this place is honestly subjected to which waiting staff attends to you, and the one which attended to our table was very good. It seems like most of the waiting/service staff in this restaurant are from China.

Dian Xiao Er does a pretty good fried rice with XO sauce. XO sauce is actually a mildly spicy seafood sauce made from dried chopped seafood like fish, shrimp and scallop that's cooked with onions, garlic and chilli. In short actually, some of the usual suspects for flavoring in Chinese cooking. The flavor of the rice leans towards being slightly bland rather than saltish and apart from being a little oily, was something that turns out quite memorable. Apart from what is seen in the picture, there is actually some prawns and squid in the fried rice.

The roast duck here is one good. Good means that given the opportunity, I will definitely drop by Dian Xiao Er to have them again. The skin carried enough crisp and fragrant duck fat underneath, over meat that was quite tender for duck. This option with 10 wonder herb contains codonopsis, foxglove and licorice roots and I actually thought that I detected a faintly sweetish taste of cinnamon in the sauce. I'm not normally one for Chinese herbal dishes, but this, I will likely to come back for again.
