Cheok Kee Boneless Braised Duck (Geylang Bahru Market)

Owner-Chef Mr Ong has been tweaking the recipe for his secret braising gravy since he started in 1974.
.
The rice is infused with the gravy, giving it a pronounced sweet salty flavour, though without yam / taro. It also has a noticeable firmer texture than elsewhere, which might not appeal to all.
.
The braised duck is boneless and lean with a slight tender chew, carrying the notes from the soy and spices in the braising gravy, meaty sweet salty savoury herbal in flavour.
.
Slices of crunchy juicy cucumber and crisp spring onions, with vegetal sweet notes, lend a nice contrast to round out the meal.

I had forgotten how good this is. The texture and flavour of the rice brought it close to perfection. The duck was also flawless. In comparison, the soup was okay only.

It’s a joy to leave in matured estate Geylang Bahru as I’m surrounded by some good local hawker food. One of the favourite stall in Geylang Bahru Hawker Center is Cheok Kee Braised Duck Rice. Where else you can get a good braised duck rice for a $3? The meat is tender accompanied with tasty sauce. Yum!

Long snaking queue during lunch.

The chilli wasn't that fantastic and the rice was a little bland.

The duck meat has a good texture but the overall taste was normal.
