Chuan Kee: Discover Singapore’s Hidden Culinary Masterpiece

Embarking on the Chuan Kee Duck Review journey led me to a culinary secret, tucked away amidst Singapore’s vibrant streets. “Chuan Kee Duck Rice & Roasted”, located at Luk Lu Eating House on Beach Road, is not just a meal but a revelation. Having tasted dishes across different places, this encounter stood out as an unmatched delight. Reluctantly, I share this gem with you.

Chuan Kee Duck Rice: Early Bird’s Delight

One of the things that sets “Chuan Kee Duck Rice & Roasted” apart is its early morning service. For a city that often wakes up to the hustle and bustle slightly later, finding a stall that serves braised duck rice for breakfast feels like striking gold.

Porridge or Yam Rice

Choices, choices. Whether you’re in the mood for some warm, smooth, and flavourful porridge or the incredibly appetising yam rice, Chuan Kee has got you covered. The yam rice, in particular, is a symphony of textures and flavors – soft yam pieces married with the salty crunch of dried shrimps.

Chuan Kee Duck Rice: An Ensemble of Flavours

The star of the show, of course, is the duck. Braised to perfection, the duck retains its texture, ensuring that every bite is a delightful mix of softness and bite. The sauce is a masterclass in balance – savory without overstepping into salty territory, and thick without being starchy or gooey.

The additions of pork skin, toupau, and the standout fishcake add depth to the meal. As someone who typically gives fishcakes a miss, the one here caught me by surprise – deep-fried, bursting with flavor, and evidently fresh.

The bonus vegetables, stir-fried with dedication and skill, offer a respite from the meaty offerings. The dried shrimps, black fungus, and cabbage come together in a dance of textures and flavors, with each bite better than the last. All this gastronomic excellence for just $15? It’s a steal, to say the least.

A Reluctant Share
