Surprised that they have the option of both roast and braised duck available here on top of the usual char siew and roasted pork. Sadly, the skin for the roast duck was not crisp enough and there was a thick layer of fats hidden beneath the skin. Braised duck faired slightly better. But probably won’t come back again for this.

Choose from roasted duck, char siew, roasted pork, spare ribs, Chinese sausage, roasted chicken and even roasted duck drumstick. The price varies according to the number of items you select.

Look at the big roasted duck drumstick, over-the-top char siew and pile of roasted chicken. This modest and quiet eatery serves such big platter of meats that costs only $18! 😍 Each table is given herbal soup that usually complements roasted duck. What you can't miss is the homemade chilli that still has ikan bilis inside. It is not punchy spicy but rather savoury-sweet kind of spice that goes well with any of the meats I've ordered. 😋

There's still room for improvement in the taste department. The meats were slightly saltier than expected and the duck was tad dry. Chicken is passable cos' it's hard to win Wee Nam Kee in my heart. And even though the char siew lacked tenderness, I love the sweet burnt crust on the sides. Regardless, I would return to Jiu Xiang Xiang when I'm in the vicinity for that big generosity of roasted meats at such wallet-friendly price. 😉
