Xi He Ya Yuan
Beijing Duck Restaurant Lvl3

Worth to check out especially if coming in a big group. The environment is nice and having the option for the ducks bones as a soup or salt pepper fry with a small additional charge was well worth it.

*Spicy chicken cold dish.*

*Mixed reviews for the duck thou*
*Spicy Chicken and tomato braised beef.*

*Fresh water sweet and sour fish. It doesn't have that muddy flavor as its drenched in sweet sauce and slow cooked pork with mui chai. Amazing with rice and enjoyed by all. 10 out of 10 for some. As was the spicy mala chicken which is better to have towards the end of the meal and the numbness overpowers any other flavors.*

Standout dishes that resonated with all those with the thumbs up! Great for a group setting. The duck was a hit and so-so for some.

By way of how it compares to other known Beijing Duck joints, its good as is for me. So far quite limited by way of exposure and probably Quan Qu De has more fan fare. There are many more trending options available. The dishes were all pretty good and the condiments for the duck were nice and varied.

Lean Sliced Pork & Vegetable Pot

ABBATip:

- Large portion for one. You probably don't need to add on the rice as its already very filling as is. The 'hotpot' comes with clear vermicelli and free flow of condiments and small bites.

Awesome bowl of wonderfulness. The complimentary condiment bar was the game changer and really good to adjust the flavors and spiciness to your liking. The umami comes from the fresh coriander, dried shrimps and seaweed. Hearty, enjoyable and comes with loads of vegetables. A go to for me in future.
