Guiding you to good food & best restaurants in Singapore

Was researching on what food stalls to try at West Coast Food Centre and quite a few people recommended this Braised Duck Rice Stall (01-162)! Reached around 30 mins aft it opened on a saturday morning and there was already at 15+ people long queue! In total, we waited for around 30-40mins to get our food!

Got the set ($4) which comes with taukwa and braised egg, and a $4.50 ala carte. The item featured here is the $4.50 braised duck rice plate! Everything about this plate was so good! Duck was good, rice was good, soup was good, chilli was good! Love that there was no gamey duck smell at all. Sauce for the rice was also just nice, not overly sweet nor overly salt. The rice also kinda taste slightly like chicken rice to me, which was a good thing, very fragrant! Chilli was spicy and shiok! Soup was not overly herbal-ish taste.

Everything here is so good, except the long queue wait LOL

Come here to try it for yourself!

Many residents living in Toa Poyoh should familiar with this food stall for its famous Cantonese style of dishes in the morning.

The queue won’t ends and continue throughout the morning as everyone coming here to grab their breakfast.

There’s many options on the menu, from congee, glutinous rice to dim sum.

I want something lighter and comforting, so went for their signature congee with cuttle fish and peanut. Generous ingredients inside the congee, but wasn’t too impressive yet.

A go-to place for coins.

I had high hopes for this but it was too sweet for my liking and had an artifical melon flavour aftertaste

Comes with a crispy fish fillet, topped with a zesty and slightly spicy Asam Pedas sauce, fresh lettuce, between two soft toasted buns

Off-menu and off the charts, this brought me back to KL with its intoxicatingly smoky fragrance and aggressively rich flavour very reminiscent of Malaysian-style Hokkien Mee. The thick, sinuous noodles were stained glossy in a sweet and salty dark soya sauce and were delicious on their own. Add a liberal handful of freshly fried crisp and crunchy pork lard cubes though, and this stuff becomes thoroughly addictive. The bouncy, chewy abalone complemented the noodles in terms of texture well enough, but wasn't particularly necessary when the core elements were already strong enough on their own.

Thanks @kevin._.ngan for the invite and gracious hospitality!

Some might argue this is too plain and simplistic, but I thoroughly enjoyed the subtly rich umami permeating the well-cooked grains of Taiwanese pearl rice from what must have been liberal amounts of lard oil used. The glistening sunny side up drizzled with soya sauce was just adding fuel to the artery clogging fire, but I more than welcomed it. This rice pairs especially well in combination with any of @fattchoyeatinghouse 's side dishes.

The chewy thick flat noodles has grainy sweet flavour, and the crisp bean sprouts carry vegetal sweet flavour. But I also like to swap for the silky thin rice vermicelli noodles which picks up the thick starchy braising gravy well.
.
Has to be eaten quickly too, as the robust braising gravy, enhanced with black vinegar, minced garlic, sambal belacan, and parsley, can thin out towards the end, though its savoury salty sweet earthy sour herbal flavour holds all the way.
.
The tender braised pork belly lends meaty salty savoury herbal flavour, while the crunchy crisp nuggets of 5 spice rolls lend meaty savoury salty spice flavour, so satisfying.
.
Particularly like the crispy fried wonton pork dumplings with meaty sweet savoury notes in this nostalgic dish, which holds up well structurally despite the hot braising gravy.

My time at Miraku was nothing short of amazing. Every dish hit the mark, especially the fatty tuna and uni.

What made the experience so special was the chef - besides preparing our food, he guided us through the entire meal with so much enthusiasm and knowledge. My partner and I learned so much where the ingredients came from, how they were sourced, and even some behind-the-scenes details about the preparation.

This was such a lovely a culinary adventure. Highly recommend Miraku for anyone who loves omakase and is looking for a memorable, personalised dining experience :)!
