I used to come over to take away a whole braised duck to share with my dearest Grandpa but i have since stopped for a bit.I was here once more at 11.30 am on a weekday to take away half of a braised duck to have it for dinner at home. I was the only customer then though there were a few tables near the stall spotted to be having their braised duck rice for lunch. There is no increase in price since my last visit about 2 years ago. Half of the braised duck is still reasonably priced at $16.00. T

There is no increase in price since my last visit about 2 years ago. Half of the braised duck is still reasonably priced at $16.00. The duck head is included too if taking away the whole duck. Though they are famous for the braised duck but spare parts like pig's tongue, pig's ear, pig's skin, braised pork belly together with braised egg, tau kwa and tau pok are available too. Their braised pork belly used to my Grandpa's favorite.
They de-boned and chopped up the duck meat nicely. A separate packet of braised sauce and chilli were given along to take away.
The ducks have been nicely braised to give it the desirable tenderness with just the right chewiness and likable softness which is well-suited for elderly. It was braised in a typical teochew style to give the duck a well-balanced saltiness and flavor. I do not usually pour the braised sauce in when i have it at home. The braised duck tasted good on its own and so with or without the braised sauce did not make much a difference. And so, i would rather use the braised sauce as a dip sauce together with the chilli sauce. The chilli has got a minimum level of spiciness to complement the taste of braised duck perfectly.
The best way to enjoy this braised duck is to go with a bowl of white porridge. The saltiness of the braised sauce is good to go with it in a simple way. The porridge is not served by the stall though.
I remember i used to queue for a long while when i came on Saturday. It might be advisable to come by during the weekdays to avoid the long queue.
