Lunch at Dian Xiao Er

We had a sumptous lunch at Dian Xiao Er. Was also attracted by the herbal duck speciality.

Nice mural outside the shop.

We were early and was entitled for the early bird promotion. So we had a 15% discount. Yuan Bao Promotion (Early Bird Special)

We opt for the set menu for 2 people. It came with a soup for the day and 3 other dishes and white rice. Today soup is carrot and potato with some "kei chi" soup.

This is the famous herbal roast duck...it is very nice and tasty.

Mongolian spare ribs

Long beans sauteed in XO sauce...yummy

The set menu cost us only $33 excluding drinks and peanuts and towels and on top of that we had a 15% discount for early bird. How cool is that. :)

Award

Yayyy, my first award in my food blog. Thanks noodle girl, I appreciate it very much. I dont know many food bloggers, so would reserved this award for future distribution..hehehe.

DIY BBQ Pork

Ooooo, I found this recipe and make my first Bak Kwa. It tasted as good as those sold outside. But I wondered if it is cheaper to buy than to DIY....lol

After mixing the minced pork with the ingredients, roll it over with a plastic sheet on top so that the pork would not stick to the rolling pin.

Baked them on parchment paper.

Hurray, my Bak Kwa is all ready....hahaha....yummy. Do cut out the black burn ends as they are not healthy.

I need to bake a few times cause my portable oven is too small.

Lastly the worst problem was that my youngest son gobble all the bak kwa before I can finish the 3rd tray. So I had to lock my kitchen door to prevent him from attacking the final tray (lol). But he is smart to climb through the bar counter beside the kitchen door by opening the window above the counter....Help!!!!

Note: Bakkwa, or rougan is a Chinese salty-sweet dried meat product similar to jerky, made in the form of flat thin sheets. It is normally made from pork.

Jia Xiang Kolo Mee

These noodles were flown from Sarawak, being Sarawak's signature noodles. The noodles tasted very good but the portion seems so small and little. I could finish in 4 or 5 mouthful....lol.
The above is the traditional version of the Sarawak Kolo Mee.

This is the curry chicken noodles version .

Dumpling soup

You could find these kolo mee at Jia Xiang Sarawak Kuching Kolo Mee Restaurants in mot part of Singapore. One of these restaurants could easily be found at Vivo City's basement.
