Checking off another Michelin Bib Gourmand stall off my list, I headed down to Ghim Moh Market to grab a plate of their signature boneless duck rice drenched in a pool of velvety, mildly thick dark sauce. Trying the rice first, my tastebuds were blown away by the sweet and umami sauce coating every single grain of their firm and fluffy rice. This set the standards for their duck high. Personally, I like my duck moist, tender and imbued with the braised sauce it is soaked in, with just a hint of gaminess. On top of it, I would expect a thin layer of fat beneath the skin for extra satisfaction. While the duck managed to achieve most of this, 'most' was unfortunately not enough to meet my high expectations of a #michelinbibgourmand stall. While the meat was flavourful it was just too tough and on hindsight, I was glad that I had picked their set meal option which came with braised Tau kwa (Firm beancurd) and braised beans instead of $5 worth of duck. On the other hand, the soup provided on the side, a component some hawkers tend to overlook, proved to be exceptional. A strongly herbal dang gui flavoured broth, it's a great palate cleanser. While I personally already have a favourite duck rice stall in the West (Clementi Market), I'm always glad to find scrumptious food in the West. Ghim Moh Market certainly has numerous hidden within and I can't wait to uncover them all. :)
Taste: 8/10
