Jin Ji Teochew Braised Duck & Kway Chap 金记潮州卤鸭 (Chinatown)

Bento Braised Duck Set $6

Jin Ji Teochew Braised Duck & Kway Chap 金记潮州卤鸭 has been a stall which I  had always wanted to try. I first got to know about this stall when Melvin, the owner, dropped me an email invitation to try his food. I declined the invitation since I preferred to make an anonymous visit.

 Since I happened to be at Chinatown Complex, I decided to pop by anonymously to try the food.

Being a foodie, I had already knew what I wanted to try. I wanted to try what was unique at this stall, the Bento Braised Duck Set, a creative way to modernise and serve duck rice in a different way.

Bento Braised Duck Set $6

The Bento Braised Duck Set $6 consisted of 3 yam rice balls, radish slices, cucumber slices, salted vegetables, ajitsuke tamago (Japanese runny egg) and braised duck meat. It also came with a bowl of miso soup soup. I would give full marks for the concept, creativity and presentation! What an idea! Photos of this dish on social media would be eye catching. So instagramable!

The braised duck meat was moist and tender unlike those that you may get elsewhere, where they are  sometimes tough and hard to chew. The egg was perfectly executed. I had not expected the yolk to be runny! Wow! As for the soup, it had a very forgiving herbal taste and was amazingly addictive. What I thought could be improved was the radish slices. I would prefer my radish slices to be softer.

I did not have to opportunity to try their Combo Jumbo set $8 yet. I wonder how their kway chap ingredients taste like.

Heng Gi Goose and Duck Rice 兴记鸡 鸭饭 (Tekka Centre)

Braised Duck Meat, Duck Feet and Gizzard with Rice $5 

Heng Gi Goose and Duck Rice 兴记鸡 鸭饭 located at Tekka Centre has been in business for more than 60 years. It is now operated by the original owner's disciples. The original owner of this stall no longer runs the business at this stall and started a stall called Ah Heng Duck Rice 同濟前阿興鴨飯 at Hong Lim Food Centre.

During lunch time you can expect a long queue at this stall. Service is fast though.

The stall sells braised duck (meat, wings, feet), organs, pork belly, pig ears, pig head meat, bean curd (tau kwa) and egg. You will notice that most of their customers are generally older in age partly because of the food offerings that are being sold. They no longer sell goose meat.

Braised Duck Meat, Duck Feet and Egg with Rice 

This plate of Braised Duck Meat, Duck Feet and Egg with Rice cost either $4.50 or $5 (my memory is failing me sigh..). The white rice is drizzled with the braising sauce (lor).

Braised Duck Meat, Duck Feet and Gizzard with Rice $5 

On another occasion I ordered Braised Duck Meat, Duck Feet and Gizzard with Rice which cost $5.

Look at how meaty and thick the duck meat are. Definitely not layered! In addition, they are so generous with the serving of duck meat. The duck feet could have been braised longer so that they are softer. As for the braising sauce, although it was fragrant, it was a tad too salty. I felt very thirsty towards the end of the meal on both occasion. 

Nevertheless, this is stall worth checking out! The prices here are very reasonable.

ps: They normally take order and sell braised duck (whole) for Chinese New Year period. This year, they are no longer taking orders and selling the braised duck during this period.
