Revisiting Dian Xiao Er Prestige (店小二臻选)

Dian Xiao Er Prestige (店小二臻选), ten wonder duck 十全药材烤鸭

Back at Dian Xiao Er Prestige. The duck of choice today was the Ten Wonder Herb (十全药材烤鸭); a departure from our usual Angelica flavoured one. Flavour's different but had a similar herbal sweetness in the sauce. Couldn't say I didn't enjoy it but I have a feeling we'll probably end up choosing the Angelica again the next time. 

Dian Xiao Er Prestige (店小二臻选), seafood bee hoon fish sauce 海鲜鱼露米粉

Pretty good tasting seafood bee hoon with fish sauce (海鲜鱼露米粉). But I'm not so sure about the fish sauce part because I'm not tasting it. Note to self: Gotta ask them to exclude the 芹菜. 

One week later......
Dian Xiao Er Prestige (店小二臻选), claypot shrimp paste cauliflower 虾酱干锅花菜

Didn't get duck today. That's the claypot shrimp paste cauliflower (虾酱干锅花菜) - savoury and garlicky with a hint of ginger and a bit of heat flavoured by small dried shrimps and bits of pork lard. 

Dian Xiao Er Prestige (店小二臻选), steamed sliced fish soy sauce 港蒸生鱼片

Sliced fish with soy sauce and fried shallots. Decent tasting but portions felt kinda tiny. The cooking method was simple and the dish was light that we inhaled those slices of fish with ease. 

Dian Xiao Er Prestige (店小二臻选), iberico pork char siew

Not bad Iberico char siew. Nice caramelization and one could taste the nam yu flavour on them. More savoury than sweet so they appeared to be more Hong Kong styled than local/Malaysian style.

Dian Xiao Er Prestige (店小二臻选), rice

Noticed their steamed white rice for the first time. The texture was grainy yet moist and tender. Nice.
