Duck rice comes with egg, tofu, pickled veggies, herbal soup and braised duck. Duck is so tender bites off easily. Price is also very affordable and for the generous portion you get, itβs worth it!
Finally tried Boon Tong Kee Kway Chap which comes with a Michelin Recommendation. Food lived up to the hype, duck was tender and had a good amount of fat and skin on it. Portion size was also generous and I was left feeling full and satisfied. Will be back!
When we visited on a Monday evening, the other stall with a really long queue was the Boon Tong Kee Kway Chap stall! Do be prepared to queue at least 20 minutes for it, and it may be even longer on weekends.
We ordered the kway chap and it comes with a bowl of rice sheets in a herbal broth. We really liked the broth as the herbal flavour was pretty pronounced and we thought the medicinal taste was interesting since most kway chap serve the noodles in a soy-based broth that is noticeably saltier. This dish is definitely not for you if you don't like herbal soups. Also, don't be deceived by the serving size because even though the bowl looks small, there is a lot of rice noodles in one bowl and it can be really filling!
The braised duck and pig innards are served in a separate side dish and the portion was fairly generous. There was quite a large amount of duck meat and pig intestines too, although we felt that the duck meat could be softer.
You should pair the meat with the chilli sauces provided. There are two chilli sauces: the darker one is sweeter whereas the one that is bright-red is spicier (it is very spicy in fact). Take your pick although we personally prefer the spicier chilli, as it really adds a lot of flavour and it can even help you to mask the taste of the innards to some extent!
One of the better kway chap I had.
This place was featured in the last episode of food king.
The duck was soft and tender. The chilli also quite good.
The intestine is flavourful.
Yuck. Whoever said this is a good stall, I guess this was a bad day. The duck was mediocre, the rice was flat, and the imitation of a herbal soup had an off-putting proportion of flavours. Sorry, you had your chance.
The chap and the (thick) zhup to my <3 The rice was fragrant and not overly dry. A simple plate of braised duck rice always manages to hit the spot!
