Lek Kee Authentic Teochew Braised Duck (陸記正宗潮洲鹵鸭), People's Park Food Centre

Have noticed the queue in front of this stall (#01-1104 People’s Park Food Centre, 32 New Market Road) every time I've been to People's Park Food Centre. Curiosity finally prevailed. I was told that I might have eaten from them many years ago but I don't remember. Since I don't remember, today was a fresh take on their Teochew styled braises.

Lek Kee Authentic Teochew Braised Duck (陸記正宗潮洲鹵鸭), braised duck and parts

This was a portion of mixed braises which included the bottom quarter of braised duck, pig's skin, pig's tongue, a stewed egg and some livers. Duck meat was moist and had a good bite to the texture. Tongue was less tender but had a flavour from the stewing sauce thoroughly infused into them. Pig's skin was tender and chewy. I like the sweet/savoury braising sauce which was in my opinion, all that was needed for the platter.

Not that the chilli wasn't nice. These had a tanginess from lime and a savoury bit of heat from the darker chilli paste. But I found myself getting by without much of them

The extra braising sauce from the platter can be generously drizzled onto their rice for more deliciousness.
