We tried this year’s top eight new dishes from Dian Xiao Er and gave them our own rankings! Every year, the restaurant holds a friendly competition among chefs from its various branches to create new dishes for the menu. This time, there are 21 new creations in total!

We got to taste the top 8, but if you’re curious about the rest, you’ll have to visit the specific branches where they’re served. Only the champion dish available at ALL outlets. It’s like a delicious treasure hunt — and you can even collect up to $1,200 worth of vouchers along the way! Find out more here 👉🏼 https://www.dianxiaoer.com.sg/chefshowdown2025

🚗 Just Published!
We’ve finally put together our Tokyo to Niigata and Nagano Road Trip Itinerary! 🚙💨
If you’re planning a self-drive holiday in Japan, this might be a good reference to get you started 👉 https://ieatishootipost.sg/NiigataNagano

Our trip started from Tokyo, heading up to Echigo Yuzawa, then across to Sado Island before looping back to Tokyo via Matsumoto and Kawaguchiko, where we caught a glimpse of Mount Fuji! 🗻

Have you done a similar trip before? Would love to hear what spots or eats we might have missed — so others can add them to their own itinerary too!

Hakka Yellow Wine was traditionally brewed in Hakka households, and in the past, unless you knew someone who made it, you wouldn’t be able to get hold of it! The good news is that it’s now produced by Xie Jia Niang 谢家娘 using their heirloom recipe. Their Hakka Yellow Wine is available at over 50 medicinal halls and on Shopee: https://shopee.sg/xiejianiang

Made from glutinous rice, wine starter, and red yeast rice, Hakka Yellow Wine is valued in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for its medicinal benefits. While it is most commonly used in post-partum dishes, it is also regularly enjoyed to warm the body and improve circulation. With an alcohol content of just 6.3%, XJN’s Hakka Yellow Wine can be taken as a gentle tonic on a regular basis.

Today, I’m sharing a Cold Drunken Chicken recipe made with this wine. It’s perfect as a chilled appetizer and can be prepared days in advance. I dare say it’s not only delicious but also good for you too!

Happy cooking!
