    When I am craving for herb duck, this is the place I won't mind to que for 20 mins. Shi quan roast duck is the best. You can request for extra sauce from them. But realise that the outlet in Vivo City will charge me extra $1 if I request for this extra bowl of sauce where this never happen in other outlet. Strange double standard, when I questioned to the waitress, she just mentioned is new policy. I will visit to DXE in T3 outlet soon enough to find out this new policy.
    Another must try dish is their gu chou steam fish. Remind me of how my mom prepare the sliced steam fish also. The ingredient no doubt are rich.
    Nothing too special for their soup as it cost about $7 for one person portion.
    Early bird enjoy some discount, but I can't remember how much cause I never an early bird for dinner.
    I remember my in-law have order their duck for the CNY dishes, the earlier you order, the lower price you will get. Hope they continue this promotion for the next CNY.

      I lurve this place!!

      I shall not go into how nice the food is.... haha...

      1. Always go there early to aviod queues. And if ididn't rememver wrongly there a early bird discount...

      2. If going late, make sure some1 is early to get the queue number... However pls note that they will only give u are table when everyone is present. I guess this is to shorter waiting time...

      3. In order to order every food item in the menu, go in groups, it's more worth it...

      4. frankly speaking, there isn't much choice of food... But everything is nice!!!!!!! Haha~

      5. For the duck I normally order "hou zhuang" cos the meat is nicer althought slightly higher in price than "qian zhuang"

        I went there for lunch a few times with my friends... price is affordable and food was quite good.. then OK... but now it's so-so.

        Initially, there is a lady who will go around the tables and refill your chinese tea non-stop but recently I went there I was pretty disappointed with the food and service. Though it's self service but the server behind the counter was not smiling and dun look friendly at all. Haiz.... guess, it's just not my day....

        For a quickie and affordable lunch, yes it's recommendable.

          Today made a trip with my friends for a group project. we had to do a presentation on the company, so my friends decided to go try out the dishes and at the same time make a video on the spot itself.

          I must say that the duck is really nice. Compared to the sucky ones that i tried near my school, this is by far superior. With the fragrance of the herbal ingredients in the meat. It is made with the right tenderness.

          I drank the crocodile soup too and its not too bad too. Just that theere are some stuffs inside the soup that i dont know what it is and dare not to try.. haha... If not, service is excellent!

            Whenever i am in marina square during dinner time, i am bound to see a long queue outside this shop.

            I am always very puzzled about the long queue. Perhaps it is due to their super nice food that everyone is yearning to have them all at once or perhaps their place is too small to accomodate so many people at one go. Whatever is the perhaps, i decided to try them out no matter what.

            To avoid having to queue for long, i decided to call in and reserve a table first. Then, did i know they do not accept reservations. Now, then i understand why their queue is always so long. haha.

            Since they do not accpet any reservation, my family members and i can only take a queue number and wait patiently for our turn. One good thing is that they actually provide chairs for us to seat, so do not need to wait till our legs give way. hee.

            After a pretty long wait, we managed to get a table finally. When i stepped into the restuarant, i suddenly felt that i am being transferred into the olden days. You will not find plastic tables and chairs waiting for you, instead what welcomes you is the wooden table and chairs. (which totally fits with their shop name)

            We ordered quite a big varieties of food which include their famous herbal duck, pork ribs, bead curb, fish maw soup, broccoli, etc. Of all the food that we have ordered, i personnaly like the beancurd the best.

            Whenever we ordered beancurd dishes, it will usually comes in the shape of round or rectangle. However, this dian xiao er beancurd comes in a diamond shape. Their beancurd is not those soft texture kind but instead i find them chewy. Kind of funny to have chewy beancurd, but i guess this may be due to the additional ingredients that they have added into the beancurd.

            Their herbal duck also tasted nice. I always thought that roasted duck will be very dry and crispy. However, their herbal duck has helped me changed the opnion of them with their juicy meat slices.

            Overall, i can say that their food is really not too bad. This can be seen from my family members feedback as well as their fast speed of eating up all the dishes. Price wise i find it rather reasonable given the food and the location. A choice worth to try them out.
