I wanted the full works & lots of variety, so I ordered Mr Duck’s Special Set Meal ($6.50 nett). This comes with a bowl of yam rice & a variety of ingredients. The rice is flavourful, & not overcooked & mushy.

Chilli is slightly sweet, with the anchovies inside giving it a nice texture, while not making it too gritty. It packs a great punch that doesn’t kill you - not overly chock full of heat like you were licking fire. I patted a little bit of this chilli onto almost every spoonful of food that I scooped..

The duck meat is thinly sliced & deboned, the latter of which is a HUGE plus for me. But alas, the quantity is really quite sad; I would’ve liked for more meat, less quantity of other ingredients - preserved veggies, hard boiled egg, braised peanuts & tau pok.

The soup is pleasantly herbal with a tinge of sweetness. Easy to drink! I actually wished I had a larger bowl. It’s the kind of soup that you want to drink as your last mouthful, so the flavour lingers thereafter.

Despite the shortcomings in the meat, this was still a tasty meal & I’d come back to this stall. They also serve kuay chup, which I've heard is delicious. Maybe I’ll try that next.

Other options in coffeeshop - which I believe is popular - include Teochew noodles, oyster omelette, satay bee hoon, ngor hiang, pork porridge…
