Small Potatoes Make The Steak Look Bigger

Jalan Legundi runs perpendicular and across from the main road from Sembawang Shopping Center. I was brought here once by a friend that told me that the owner here use to do roast duck in Hong Kong and it's a signature dish in this little restaurant. That time, we were here at about 8pm and we just managed to get the last of their roast duck for the day. Honestly, the duck is pretty good. Many of the roast ducks fall victim to dry and tough meat, especially meat from the breast. This place has roast duck breast meat that's tender, so it says something about how it is a cut above many places. Apart from the duck, the restaurant does serve other chinese cooked food from the kitchen. The menu is not large by any standards, but there's a decent choice of other offerings which diners pick from to accompany the main duck order most of the patrons opt for.






I was expecting plain fried bean curd for this one, with perhaps some flavoring or simply just salt on the surface of the skin. These crispy skinned bean curd (which comes really hot by the way) comes stuffed with a small variety of vegetables and some of which, made enemies with my tongue. Is that coriander I taste? Apart from the bits of carrot and mushroom in the mashed bean curd, I am positive that there is one of the green herbs that I detest in there. If not for them, this is actually not too bad in taste.

The cost for this dinner was almost $50 for 4 with rice and chinese tea. Service is relatively snappy, though curt during the hours before the bulk of the dining crowd arrives. Though relatively inexpensive, you can do with more for less at Taste of Thailand just across the main road at Sembawang Shopping Centre if you can forgo the duck.
