牛車水亞婆鹵鸭 (Chinatown Ah Po Braised Duck), Commonwealth Crescent Food Centre

Sweet. We've seen the queues at this stall (#02-95 Commonwealth Crescent Food Centre, 31 Commonwealth Crescent) a number of times and wondered about it. We've finally gotten around to understanding those queues after getting a weekend breakfast.

牛車水亞婆鹵鸭 (Chinatown Ah Po Braised Duck), half braised duck

牛車水亞婆鹵鸭's known for their braised duck. Teochew styled so the serving comes with white rice and no gloopy sauce. The style I prefer. This was half a duck and the bird was impressively tender, even the breast meat. Braising sauce was deliciously flavourful.

Couldn't resist a plate of their other braised items on the side - pig's stomach, sweet intestines (粉肠), eggs, duck liver and pig's skin. Not bad but my verdict is that the duck is their showcase.

Sauce on the rice is not the same as the one ladled over the duck. Spoon more from the duck onto the rice for more flavour intensity.
