I’ve grown up eating this Yu Kee (友记) DUCK Rice from this Kim San Leng coffee shop at Bishan. ✔ While it still remains a decent plate, it does not seem to be as good as what I remembered it to be. 🤔

Their Specialty Duck Rice ($4) features some tender duck meats 🦆🦆🦆 laid atop a bed of fragrant yam rice, accompanied by cucumbers, beancurd, braised egg & braised peanuts. The yam rice was really soft, fluffy & savoury - so good on its own! 😋😋😋 I thought there used to be yam cubes in there but there was none in my share, which I left me slightly disappointed. 😔 While they could be more generous with their meats, I must say that they were very well-handled - succulent with no gamey taste at all! 💕

Absolutely love their secret traditional braised sauce doused over the duck meat & yam rice! ❤❤❤ Another worthy mention is their chilli sauce - a winner from the incorporation of ikan bilis which packs a punch of savoury goodness & aroma! 🌶 Even if you can’t handle spice well, the heat level is pretty manageable. 👌🏻

The side of firm beancurd, sweet braised peanuts 🥜, half a braised egg 🍳 & crunchy cucumbers 🥒 added some layering of taste & textures to the already flavourful plate. 😋 The soup that carries a tinge of herbal taste complements the plate of rice really nicely & helps to cleanse your palate. 👍🏻

This may not be the best plate of duck rice in Singapore but it definitely was a plate of nostalgia. 🥰
