Lim Seng Lee Duck Rice Eating House
38 South Buona Vista Road, S(118164)
It was full house inside, with a long queue forming outside despite the light drizzle.
A table full of signature dishes (for 7 pax).
This plate of boneless (and almost skinless) braised duck meat was actually a whole duck, doused in a runny sweet and savory gravy. The thinly sliced duck meat was surprisingly tender, with no tough part at all.
Hmm... however, the price was not cheap. $40 for a whole braised duck... this was the most expensive hawker-fare duck I've eaten so far!
The braised eggs tasted very ordinary, not flavorful enough. And, we ordered too many of these... #idontliketowastefood
This was the least favorite dish... I am not a fan of duck gizzards... so are the rest :s
I was game enough to eat a tiny piece. Well, it did not taste that awful... somewhat chewy with a uniquely weird texture. But still, I am no fan of them.
The braised duck gravy did complement the white rice pretty well. Yummy!
When the sambal kang kong was served, I was taken aback by the measly portion. It tasted good nevertheless... very fragrant and not too spicy.
Looks are deceiving. The tofu dish looked rather bland and unappetizing but they tasted so good that I had several helpings. It was a winning combination of silky smooth and soft tofu drenched in savoury gravy, with the runny egg bits. And, this dish somehow gives me a nice homely feel.
If you have not visited Lim Seng Lee Duck Rice Eating House, you might wanna try it for the last time before it officially closes down in June. Think this would be my first and last time at this famous place for Teochew boneless duck. A one-time experience is good enough for me. If I were a westie, I won't mind visiting there again for a comfort food fix (:
