So unfortunately on Valentines Day I was blessed with the night shift and didn't get home until 9:20pm.
DT and I ended up eating at Chi Chi which was a restaurant I happened to spot as we were driving around Canley Heights looking for parking. I did not have dinner yet so I was feeling quite peckish.
From the outside, the restaurant looked very chic and modern and stood out amongst the street.
I wish I had taken a picture of the words hanging from the ceiling because they said "Double rainbow all the way across the sky".
We were seated promptly and presented with the menu which was interesting. They had entrees, shared dishes, mains and desserts. It appeared that the restaurant served a mixture of Asian dishes ranging from Vietnamese, Chinese and Malay dishes. We eventually settled with the eggplant sandwich, roasted duck braised in an orange sauce (I had originally wanted the braised pork but the waitress was nice enough to tell us that it was bo kho and that was something I could eat at home), some roti bread to share and a bowl of rice. I also tried the Gingerbread man mocktail which really tasted like gingerbread. It was a cold drink but the ginger was quite warming.

So above was our main which we ate with the rice (the rice was sadly a little dry). The duck was really delicious. I was happy because they were generous with the meat and each bite was very tasty. You could taste the tang of the orange and the saltiness of the sauce and I love eating duck skin because there is always a slight crispiness to it before it just melts in your mouth. I also enjoyed the little pieces of orange which had soaked up a lot of the sauce. I am very glad that we got to choose this dish instead of the braised pork and honestly you can never go wrong with duck.
