Award-winning Chinese restaurant famous for herbal roast duck and traditional Chinese dishes at Marina Square.
Dian Xiao Er has earned a stellar reputation as one of Singapore's finest Chinese restaurants, and its Marina Square outlet continues to draw diners with its award-winning specialisation in Herbal Roast Duck. The kitchen's mastery of this signature dish is evident in every carefully prepared bird, which is roasted to golden perfection after being marinated with a blend of traditional Chinese herbs. Guests can choose from variations such as the Duck Roasted with Angelica Herb, fragrant with the earthy sweetness of dang gui, or the Duck Roasted with Ten Wonder Herbs, a more complex medley that infuses the meat with deep, restorative aromas. The result is duck skin that shatters delicately between the teeth, giving way to succulent flesh that carries the essence of the herbs without overwhelming the palate.
Beyond the legendary duck, the menu presents a well-rounded selection of Cantonese and Chinese favourites designed for communal dining. The Roasted Iberico Char Siew offers a premium twist on the classic barbecued pork, with melt-in-the-mouth fat and a lacquered, caramelised crust. The Hotplate Fiery Sambal Squid & Prawns delivers a sizzling spectacle and bold, spicy flavours that pair perfectly with steamed rice. For larger groups, set menus provide a curated progression of dishes that showcase the kitchen's range, from delicate soups and seafood to hearty meats and vegetables. The spacious Marina Square dining room accommodates family gatherings, corporate dinners and celebratory occasions with ease, and takeaway options are available through the restaurant's online ordering platform.
