This was my first time to the Dian Xiao Er at NEX. I always go to Vivocity, Tampines One & Bedok Mall. Wow and it was pretty big. Much bigger than what I thought, good for holding mini birthday, engagement parties etc.
Look at how spacious the restaurant is. There are other smaller seatings outside, as you walk along a narrow pathway, it leads you here to the bigger dining are. Usually they will close this section unless its occasions like Chinese New Year, Mother's Day, Father's Day.
Always love Dian Xiao Er's layout and inn-like feel.
Reprinting of menus
Dian Xiao Er will be reprinting their menus because their menu will feature healthier recommendations, and addition of informative features such as calorie contribution label, logos for healthier choices, recommended calorie allowance. They are collaborating with Unilever to develop a full selection of Healthier Set Menu by July 2014.
Reprinted menu will be out on 18th July 2014, together with the opening of new outlet at Junction 8!
Healthy set meals for two & promotion on lower calorie dishes
Look out healthy set meals for 2 pax for only S$21.90-S$29.90++
and also enjoy 30% off selected Lower Calorie Dishes. (Check in store for more details!)
Switching to healthier cooking method
Dian Xiao Er is the first amongst restaurant chains to do a switch-over to rice bran oil. Rice bran oil reduces risks of cardiovascular diseases and amount of free radicals in the body. Enjoy a tasty yet nutritious meal! I have tried the dishes and they still taste the same, still as delicious!

I love cod fish, and it seems like i now love cod fish more than salmon! Cod fish is smooth, with a buttery taste.

Do you know that they have a [Herbal Roast Duck Meat Rice S$7.90]?
Its 530kcal and is one of the healthier set meal choices!
[Baby Kai Lan with Salted Fish & Lime S$9.90] - 230kcal for small portion.
Pleasantly surprised by the taste of lime in this dish, unlike the usual Kai Lan we have in Chinese restaurants. Couldn't taste much of the salted fish which is good for those who don't like salted fish smell or taste.
Soups!
[Stewed Crocodile Soup with Sweet Almonds & Chuan Bei S$7.60] - 120kcal for small portion

Dian Xiao Er decided to pamper us and let us try a not so healthy
[Mongolian Spare Ribs S$13.90] - 960kcal for small portion
I am not a rib person but I should just try it. It is fried to a slight crisp, and coated with a layer of mildly spice sauce, balanced with a sweet and sour tinge of plum to give a unique flavour.
[Marmite Superior Chicken Wings S$10.90] - 860 for small portion
It kind of taste like Bonchon Chicken, crispy and tasty, fingers licking good.
An exclusive Ice Lemon Tea made by the head waitress there. Feels so refreshing after a hearty meal!
