About Dian Xiao Er (Junction 8)

Dian Xiao Er (Junction 8) is a branch of Dian Xiao Er, an award-winning Chinese casual restaurant brand best known for its Herbal Roast Duck.

Proudly born in Singapore, Dian Xiao Er describes its food as more than nourishment — a way to share culture, build connection and honour tradition. The restaurant serves nutritious, flavourful meals tailored to diverse tastes and dietary needs, with a strong focus on health, safety and heartfelt service, and positions itself as a family-friendly restaurant that brings joy, well-being and cultural richness to every dining experience.

Beyond the signature duck, Dian Xiao Er offers set menus, including weekday set lunches for two, and a dedicated kids menu with options like a shrimp egg set. The brand also runs an Emerald membership programme and supports self-pickup ordering for customers who want to skip the queue.
