Lim Seng Lee Duck Rice Eating House (Closed)

When my colleagues suggested heading over to a Duck Rice Place along South Buona Vista Road, I was still oblivious to the fact that we were patronising the famous Lim Seng Lee Duck Rice Eating House! It made history by being one of the first in Singapore to serve boneless duck in 1968 and is particularly well-known for its Teochew-style Braised Duck.This is a popular lunch joint for the working crowd in the western region of Singapore. And is even more so now after the recent media hype of it c

My lovely mother braved the haze to packet lim seng lee's duck rice for the family today! (: I'm guessing that due to the haze, many chose their health over trying out food which they may never get to try ever again after it closes tomorrow. There were only 2 people queuing before my mom when she went to queue at the line for takeaway.The restaurant was also not extremely packed as some other reviewers' photos had shown. There was still some parking problem due to the secluded area where the sho

As the famous Lim Seng Lee Duck Rice Eating House will be serving its last customers come next week, we decided to savour their signature duck rice for the first and final time before it goes down memory lane. The braise duck was indeed tender and well marinated. However, what distinguishes this common hawker fare is the braise duck sauce that makes you wanna slurp down every single drop. The fragrance of the herbs, seasonings, and countless ducks’ au naturel juices blended perfectly together,

Service & AmbienceMy last visit before kissing goodbye to this famous duck rice eating house as they will be officially closed next week. The crowd was simply over the capacity of what the shops could cater, leaving tables of customers left waiting eagerly for their food and with some even decided to gave up the idea of queuing. It took us 20 minutes to settle down despite having an empty table setup specially in front of their neighbor shop. We have difficulties in getting the chairs as all are

Despite the experience of a previous visit, my friend insisted on visiting Lim Seng Lee Duck Rice Eating House before it closed down for good. Sure enough, there was a huge crowd wanting to try out its braised duck rice. Having ate here previously and only recently, I was not too taken in by the hype. The duck rice once again proved normal and not worth the special trip. I like the sambal kangkong this time because the wok hei was more evident. Tofu was so-so.

I am convinced that the line has doubled, or tripled, since the article came out in the papers about this establishment closing in June. Okay, I don't know this for a fact myself, but my parents love this place (we're Teochew) and they come here now and then, apparently at off-peak hours to avoid crowds. We were here on Sat 2pm+ but there were still tons of people!Be warned, there are two separate lines, 1 for takeout and 1 for sitting in (go in and find yourself a seat!) We didn't realize there

FoodMarked your calendar on 22nd June 2013 is Mr Lim's retirement. It seems like he had just announced this piece of sad news over to all his die-hard supporters but in reality the stated date was just a wink of the eye away.Thinking that we might not making any return soon before his retirement, we have ordered whatever they had offered on its menu.These sweet vinegar chilli for everyone of us was placed on the table with the chopsticks.Plain and simple Toufu Sambal Kangkong The fragrance white

Foodies would have heard of this place known for its braised duck. I think the braised duck is indeed soft and tender, with the sauce complementing it well. But I think the sauce can still be thicker. This sauce seems a little too watery and diluted. The sambal kangkong was however done pretty well, with the wok-hei very obvious. A must try if you are there. Overall, not worth travelling so far just for this.

I count myself lucky that I managed to get myself in at these final moments of a culinary maestro. After 40 over years of selling boneless braised duck rice, Chef Lim is hanging up his apron for good. The furore was overwhelming. The queues at the stall located at far-flung South Buona Vista Road even more so. Just the fact that so many people were clamouring to get to taste the duck rice at this quaint, no-frill shophouse is already testament to the quality of food.And it's not just about the d

Afternoon was discussing with my loved one about the Duck Rice so we'll suggested heading over to a Duck Rice Place along South Buona Vista Road...Evening time, there's not much people so we manage to get seat just that have to park illegalThe legendary boneless braised duck was served minutes later coated with a layer of soy sauce based gravy flavored with cinnamon and other herbs and spices...Thinly sliced duck meat was amazingly tender and goes really well with the accompanying sweet vinegar

My boss treated my colleagues and I to Lim Seng Lee Duck rice. A very family style kind of coffee shop. It wasn't my first time trying out. A few times, I went with my friends, it was a pretty good food at a good price. Only once, I went there feeling very hungry yet the place was full house. I waited about 30 mins before I could get a seat however, it's worth waiting. Though it was pack to office but it was still piping hot and nice. With the gravy given, mixed with the rice, it's heaven. Once

The FoodI ordered a plate of braised duck with white rice and porridge. The rice was well-cooked, fluffy and taste very nice with the thick flavourful gravy. The duck meat was boneless and tender. The porridge was cooked just nice, not too watery or sticky. The chilli sauce was okay and had an interesting mixture of thin tart sauce and thick chilli paste.The PriceReasonably priced at $6+ for the whole setOverallI will definitely come back again before it close soon and highly recommended to try

This is undeniably my favourite Duck Rice in Singapore!Nestled in a rather secluded area of Buona Vista, the best form of transport to get to this place is by car or taxi. However, parking lots are extremely limited given that this coffeeshop is situated at the end of a row of terrace shophouses. Coming by bus, you'd have to stop along Pasir Panjang and walk a distance (without shelter) to get there.Don't be deceived by its relatively inaccessible location though, an unaware passerby may mistake

Lim Seng Lee Duck Rice Eating House 林成利鸭饭餐食Im sure you have heard of the famous duck rice at bruno vista that is closing soon after operating for 46 years. Uncle is finally retiring from all the hard work. Thanks to OpenRice, a group of 7 of us are here at Lim Seng Lee Duck Rice Eating House for food tasting. Honestly speaking, the place is really far from where I stay. You tell me why is all the good food located so far away from me? (*_*) Upon reaching, the shop was filled with people, massive

Decades of braising and serving what is widely considered as the best braised duck in Singapore, the people behind Lim Seng Lee will be serving their final plate on 22 June 2013. It’s one of those tragedy we so frequently hear because there’s a lack of successor to continue on the legacy…You might think that it’s just another over hyped store but if you have to ask me, it’s a stall where family, friends and food meets nostalgia. I mean just how many braised duck store could tell the world that t
