Rubber ducky you're the one...

The IT-challenged one is FINALLY writing her first entry... in this blog that is more than just about food, really. For beneath the surface of penning (or typing, rather) down the little adventures that tantalise our tastebuds (whether or not we end up finding the places in the end!), lies the laying down of memories of times spent with good friends. Afterall, more important than good food, is good company :o)

So, it was a Saturday afternoon when we were to meet for lunch after I was done with work, and after running around like a headless chicken most of the morning, I sure was hungry. A certain other person who was 3/4 of her wisdom short, and is finally back on a normal solid diet, was craving for rice. So we drove rather aimlessly for a start, and landed up at Marina Square. There, we scrutinised the mall directory, and decided on Dian Xiao Er, well known for their herbal roasted duck.

Strangely enough, it wasn't crowded, but hey, who's complaining?! When our food promptly arrived, we nearly hungrily wolfed it down, but thankfully remembered to catch a shot... The Roasted duck with angelica herb was juicy on the inside, with skin that was roasted crisp. The sauce was comfortingly herbal, and not overly powerful. Baby Kailan with salted fish and lime had an interesting zing to it... tasted slightly thai, thanks to the bits of ?lemongrass?. Our wintermelon and conpoy soup was simple and "qing dan".... the kind that reminds me of my grandma's soups.

Three thumbs up! (one for each dish lah...)
