Loitering at the back of my head for the longest time has been the intention to visit @bebekgorengpakndut_sg. This casual Indonesian eatery is famous for their crispy fried duck and yesterday, I finally found out for myself exactly how good it is.
Each serving comes with a piece of thigh meat with the drumstick attached, plain rice, a small piece each of fried tempeh and tau kwa, blanched kangkong and cabbage, raw sliced cucumber and a small tomato (price: $9.90). The skin of the duck lived up to its reputation as it was astonishingly crispy with hardly any fat beneath. When I saw the meat, I thought it would be dry and stringy but to my surprise, there‘s juiciness in the fibre of the flesh and it was very tasty. I enjoyed every bit immensely, more so with the two available types of chilli sauces (you can help yourself to them as much as you want). Alternating between the savoury bright red (I think it’s called Sambal Belado) and the sweetish dark brown was what I did because I found them both extremely appetising despite being very spicy.
Now I understand why foodies like @singaporeliciouz @blueskiescottonclouds and @the_xw, have raved about this place.
By the way, I recommend ordering the Kangkong Belachan ($5.90) as well. It is different from the ubiquitous sambal version, that honestly speaking, I am not a fan of.
