For as long as I can remember, my eldest has always requested duck for her birthday dinners. This year is no exception.
We were second in the queue when we reached the food centre during lunch time and I waited only 5 minutes for the familiar Din-Tai-Fung-style (DTF) fried rice.
The reported long queue when it first opened last year was nowhere to be seen but I was impressed. I think the shorter queue has allowed Chef Wang to focus more and ensure his food quality.
The pork chop was well marinated and tender and the pearl rice grains well separated and infused with wok hei. I really enjoyed the humble fried rice dish especially the sambal belacan version. The sambal really elevates the fried rice flavour to another level.

The mutton is fall-off-the-bone tender, the soup mildly herbal yet so flavourful and the Aunty's service is top-notch - always smiley and making sure you have enough soup.
