Heard about Kun Ji (#01-025 Marine Parade Central Food Centre, 84 Marine Parade Central) and their duck rice. There were a couple of lessons learnt in trying to get a plate here.
i) The stall didn't open at 9.30am on Friday as stated by Google. We were asked to come back at 10am as they were still doing prep
ii) At 10am the braised duck and char siew still weren't ready and they informed us that it'll be another 30 mins to half hour before those were.
We ended up with the roast duck rice. Added roast pork and stewed mustard greens (梅菜). Portion was pretty generous. Duck's serviceable, they're not those with crisp skin with an under layer of flavourful fat kind. Skin's a little chewy. Roast pork was serviceable - didn't like the bones in it. 梅菜 was tender but definitely not one of the more tender ones around. All in all...serviceable but not very memorable.
That roasted chilli though was delicious. Much more so than those from most of the other roast duck stalls. Inhaled the rice easily with it.
One week later......
I like the braised duck more than the roast duck. Seemed to be a bit more tender. Managed to get some char siew this time round - these were somewhat different. They looked like the old school char siew with red dye, but they were of a more tender cut and thicker sliced with some sweet sauce flavouring them. Didn't taste like those "red dyed cardboard".
