went out lunch with some good friends today on 16.6.2015. we had wanted to take my favourite chai chuan tou chinese mutton soup 柴船头羊肉汤 at bukit merah view market & food centre. however the stall was closed & seemed that only reopen on 1.8.2015. that’s a long time to close shop!

so we settled on happy duck!^^ price was reasonable. we had 1/2 braised duck for S$18. also added the kueh chap including 4 items = pigs ear, intestines, pig skin & kong bak for S$10.

the duck was pretty good for me. duck was tender, good flavour & chilli was great too. 1 friend thought it was average, quite fine. another thought the one next to hoover rojak at whampoa market, liang zhao ji duck rice, was better – that’s my memory too, but i had not eaten at that duck stall for umpteen years. i know what i don’t like though – the one previously at south buona vista with the gluey sauce, lim seng lee boneless duck. taste is personal, haha!

my own favourite braised duck is at imperial treasure teochew, & it’s not expensive either just S$28 for 1/2 duck (of course that’s a bit more than S$18 here.

another friend’s favourite was 店小二’s roast duck but that is another story. unfortunately we seemed to run out of places to find goose, braised or roast.

we had 2 rice & 2 kueh. that added another S$2, my kueh was ok, average. the rice did not seem to be yam rice, maybe just sauce. another it was just S$2 for 4. so it was S$30, and it was quite enough for 5pax (1 friend came slightly late & added his own kueh).

Tried the kway chap here for $3. The kway chap soup was light-tasting and the kway had a smooth texture. The braised gravy for the ingredients had a saltier taste. The pork belly was rather fatty (I prefer the lean ones) and the other ingredients tasted average. The fishcake was rather soft and the innards were chewy. Portion was just nice. Perhaps the duck tastes better since this stall specializes in selling duck meat. Overall, it was an average tasting meal.

Just as what the name says. Consuming duck rice from here indeed makes you happyyyyy! DDThe duck rice here is yummyyy! Especially when the uncle is so nice to give you more peanuts when you ask for it. The peanuts are totally soaked in the gravy. The soft and flavourful peanuts makes you keep wanting more! That's the reason why i love love this stall. Of course the duck is nice too. And the rice. The duck skin are usually filled with large layer of fats but dont worry, this stall's duck skin is

The duck rice here is yummyyy! Especially when the uncle is so nice to give you more peanuts when you ask for it. The peanuts are totally soaked in the gravy. The soft and flavourful peanuts makes you keep wanting more! That's the reason why i love love this stall. Of course the duck is nice too. And the rice. The duck skin are usually filled with large layer of fats but dont worry, this stall's duck skin is just appropriate. I wonder why. The rice is also cooked in yam. Yay! Yam!
Must tryyyyyyyy(:
