Heng Huat Boon Lay Boneless Duck Noodle 221B Boon Lay Pl, #01-140 Boon Lay Place Food Village (Map) Tue-Sat: 5.45am to 10am, 4.45pm – 7pm Sun: 5:45am to 10am Mon
Almost everyone orders the yellow noodle version. It comes with a delectably spicy and savoury sambal that combines so well with the alkali in the noodles, addictive. The pieces of boneless braised duck come nary gamey and soft. They rain a mount of quick blanched bean sprouts atop that lends a soft crunch and sweetness to the show in your mouth. The lightly herbal broth provided is a good foil to the duck and alkali noodles. Be warned, they are very generous with the noodles.
Ming Fa Duck Rice
105 Hougang Ave 1 #02-01 Hougang Hainanese Village Ctr (Map) Tues – Sat: 6am – 12pm Sun & Mon
Everyday regulars line up at this low-profile duck rice stall tucked away at a corner of Hainanese Village Food Centre in Hougang (itself a low-profile makan haven that locals don't want you to know about). The duck meat is tender even though they are served in chunky pieces. Their braising stock covered all the bases with sweet, savoury, and Chinese five-spice flavours. You can taste it infused in the duck and a splash of it makes the sweet rice gulp worthy. They are generous with the soup too which is full of flavours from duck bones and kiam chye. To add on, the knockout punch at Ming Fa Duck Rice comes from their power sambal. Loaded with anchovies, onions, and chili, it beats the sambal at most nasi lemak stalls. You read that right, "most", we chose that word carefully.
