Meng Meng Roasted Duck (阿明帝皇鸭), Ang Mo Kio

Meng Meng Roasted Duck (阿明帝皇鸭), Ang Mo Kio

Heard chatter about Meng Meng Roasted Duck (#01-2823, 721 Ang Mo Kio Ave 8, tel : +65 8908 7000) which was mentioned to be a popular roast meat stall from Johor Bahru known for their dang gui/Chinese angelica root/Angelica Sinensis (当归) roasted duck.

We got them packed for take away and it wasn't the best way to enjoy them. Meat had gotten a little dry by then. Duck was not bad with the dang gui sauce but I personally felt that the best dip for them was the caramel-y sweet sauce for their char siew which tasted similar to the one from the defunct Foong Kee. Foong Kee by the way had nicer tasting and tenderer duck in my opinion. It was a fair comparison because both were takeaways.

Char siew was nice...fatty, sugary and properly caramelized to a smokey sweetness. Too bad we didn't eat this at the stall. Am sure it would have tasted better.
