out from period dramas.
on the eve of labour day, joy and jo suggested that we go back to the old chinese days and decided to head dian xiao er for dinner. according to joy, dian xiao er is famous for its duck.
being the first one to reach, joy called everyone up, just cos we missed our queue number!
the late(st)comer! (and jo looks really happy that bruce finally reached!)
the food looks really nice...
and bruce looks ready to attack, full force!
VERDICT!
we had the jia-chang-bian-fan set, that has about 8 dishes (including the white rice, dessert and soup) for 4 pax, and we ordered an extra plate of fried rice, just to try it out. the three of them love the food, but as for myself, i found it too salty to my liking. i guess it could also be a matter of preference, since im more into bland food lately. the portions were good, just nice for the 4 of us, as we managed to CLEAR the plates.
as for the service. i thought it's pretty good. hearing the accent of the servers, i would assume that most of them came from northern parts of china. after being in bj 3 months, i can safely assure you that the service we got were way better than those we recvd there. though it's kinda jarring to the ears to have the server apologising whenever she brings the dish to our table. oh boy, the speed at each dish was served was astoundingly fast!
the interior design of dian xiao er mimics those of ke zhan - those eating places you watch from the period dramas. it was interesting that even the concept of the menu follows through, since it was in the form of mi ji - the manuals that were supposedly the answer to the invincible swordplay. and in $$$ sense, the price was also alright since our bill came up to about 100bucks.
fyi, the dian xiao er that we went to was located at Marina Square #02-203/204.
opening hours:
11.30am-2.30pm daily
5.30pm-9.30pm daily
next up, the gluttons were just being greedy and decided to go for desserts, after joy started chanting for apple struddel - that woman claims that swensens serves the best apple struddel in sg. ha, but we settled for andersen's instead!
bruce got so engrossed into playing tourist and his iphone - anything but joy.
so that woman got bored...
and i played along with her.
till jo finally came into the picture.
before i get too carried away, check out our desserts!
jo and i demonstrate the steps to eating ice-cream!
so tell us, who's the better demonstrator?
okay, let's play it fair lest anyone gets intimidated by jo's stern expression!
now, who's the better demonstrator?
