Tung Lok XiHe Peking Duck @ The Grandstand

Similar to MAD, the Palate discount for Tung Lok XiHe Peking Duck was only valid for set meals on weekends. So I made full use of my reservist days to pay here a visit on a weekday for dinner.

We ordered too much (again), but this time it was because the waitress assured us that five dishes (two mains, three starters) were just all right. Now I feel stupid for believing her.

Smoked Sliced Fish in Sweet Sauce, $12

This was probably one of the more unique dishes, but I found it to be so-so only.

Fried Rice with Bacon and Egg White topped with Conpoy, $16

A bit bland, but at least the taste was there and it wasn't too oily. Maybe the egg white neutralised the saltiness of the bacon. We ended up bringing most of it home, and I think if you were to fry it again with a bit more salt, it would taste much better.

Sliced Pork with Garlic Sauce, $10

This was the best dish today. The pork was sliced thinly and very tender, and the appetising garlic sauce sure helped to whet our appetite. Recommended!

Stewed Mushrooms with Minced Pork and Chilli, $18

The mushrooms, by itself, were a bit bland, so you have to eat it with the minced pork. But I found the mushrooms to be a bit too oily too.

Sauteed Chicken with Pickled Vegetables and Quail Eggs, $16

The chicken was quite tender and the sauce used was also appetising, but the fried quail eggs were a bit unnecessary, we felt.

Tung Lok XiHe Peking Duck is obviously more known for their Peking duck, but the minimum order was one whole duck, so it was out of the question. Having said that, their other food was just normal, with nothing really outstanding. Would consider going in a bigger group next time to try out their Peking duck.
