Dian Xiao-Er
I brought my parents to lunch at Dian Xiao-Er at Vivocity after I was told that it would take 30 minutes to get into Crystal Jade Fine Dining.
The bill for three came up to a whopping S$111, all charges in. I was frankly aghast at the price since I ordered the S$88 three-pax set. It wasn't pleasant finding out that there was a stunning S$23 increase in the bill accounting for GST, towel and tea. Of course, I put a brave face to it but my parents were decidedly unimpressed and they kept muttering that we should have gone to our usual haunt to eat the S$2 wanton noodles and lotus soup. The good thing was that I finally brought my mother out to see Vivocity instead of she just cooping up in her usual routine of house-market-Sheng Xiong / NTUC / Wet market - West Coast Park. She had fun ogling at all the expensive shops although the Zara stuff were clearly wasted on her. She also couldn't stop making comments at all the mainland Chinese who were there (by god, the whole place was swarming with mainlanders, especially on the roof).
I think I would skip Dian Xiao-Er from now on. The herbal duck is lovely but it is not worth the price anymore. If we go to Vivocity again, we would just go up to the foodcourt on Level 3.

Gosh... are the mainlanders washing theor feet in the mini pool on the roof?
They are certainly waddling in the pool.
