Dinner at Lu Gang Xiao Zhen – the Asian Kitchen @ Ion Orchard

Had dinner with my family at Lu Gang Xiao Zhen (Asian Kitchen) @ Ion Orchard yesterday evening. Been there once on a weekday lunch with my colleagues and I remembered we queued for quite a while then. So this time round I went there earlier (around 6.30 pm) to queue for a table for dinner. However, when I reached there, I was pleasantly surprised that there wasn’t any queue and I was able to get a table immediately.

Ordered the Herbal Guitar Duck – Small Serving ($11.70). Duck meat was tender and there is a slight herbal taste. But if you compare this to the ones sold at Dian Xiao Er, I would prefer the ones at the latter as the herbal taste is much stronger.

Soup of the Day – Lotus with pork ribs soup – $7.70. It serves approx 2-3 pax. Tasted ok. Would be better if some red dates were added to enhance the taste of the soup.

You Tiao with Pineapple cubes Salad – $5.90. The You Tiao wasn’t that crispy anymore and tasted a bit soft. Perhaps it had been left mixed with the salad dressing for quite a while.

Their famous Eggy Rice with braised meat and chestnut. Tasted like what my grandma would cook. Yum yum yum. $5.90 per serving

Another of their speciality – Stir fried Four Seasons Beans with Salt Egg Yolk. Very nice and crunchy. I really loved this dish.

Total bill for the dinner came up to approx $62 (inclusive of 3 Eggy rice + 1 bowl of white rice + 1 soy bean drink with pearls) for 4 pax. Pretty reasonable.

The soy bean drink doesn’t taste that great. Don’t think would be getting that again the next time I am there. I noticed that the queues started forming at around 7 pm and I am glad that I came earlier to queue.

At the mmoment this restaurant do not accept reservations. It’s on a first come first serve basis. However, I checked with the restaurant manager, he said that perhaps they would accept reservations later on.
