According to an interview with Samuel Yik who is the owner of Dian Xiao Er, the duck is roasted in a special oven from Germany which helps to keep the meat plump and juicy even though the skin gets dried and crisped. The herbal flavor reminded me of a really good roast duck we’ve had in Johor Bahru. I didn’t think I’d be able to get the same thing in Singapore city. :)

Since they served us so speedily, I wondered if they would hint we should leave quickly after finishing the meal so that they could use the table for another group of hungry patrons. Thankfully, they didn’t make this faux pas.

The Xiao Ers who served us were very pleasant. Their smiles were warm, they looked really fresh and energetic. As a result, the whole family stayed on for quite some time to catch up with each other.

One other thing that surprised me was how well Dian Xiao Er had planned the set menu. When we finished the dessert which was a platter of sliced fresh fruits, we discovered we had neither had too much nor too little. It was just enough to feel satisfied, comfortable and contented.
