Mark Tan

Are U Hungry šŸ˜‹?


@ Chinatown Food Centre, 335 Smith Street. Stall : Chao Ji Roasted Meat #02-165.

Operating hours : 10:30am to 6:00pm or whilst stick last. Closed on Monday.


Ordered my favourite Roasted Duck šŸ¦† drumstick šŸ— with rice šŸš @ $6.50.



Whatā€™s so good šŸ˜Š?

I loved coming to Chinatown as it always give me the authenticity of being a Singaporean Chinese. Itā€™s the aromatic of great food cooked and the bustle of people enjoying their delectable food šŸ„˜, its Q, itā€™s the happy faces šŸ˜ƒ all around U ...



After eaten my breakfast here and about to leave the hawker then I saw a short Q at this stall selling roasted duck & char siew and I had been delaying writing about roasted duck šŸ¦†... as my 1st choice reside @ Maxwell FC but usually opens around 11:00am to 11:30am.




So, this it is ... A roasted Duck šŸ¦† drumstick šŸ— chopped to pieces and plated with Chye Sim vegetable (quite rare) and added their homemade dripping sauces on TOP of the duck then onto the rice.



As photo eats 1st, I can feel the light heat emitting from the duck, as I forked then using left bare hand to eat it, starting with the skin - roasted to brownish colour, crispy and silky grossly with little fat underneath, then itā€™s meat - so soft, warm, juices oozes out and easy to bite off, without any duckling smell, having that smokey feel ... šŸ˜® šŸ¤© ā­ļø šŸ‘


Itā€™s rice grain, cooked to perfection, pair well with the dripping sauces or gravy poured over it ... little sweet, soya bean blended with the roasted duck drips ... interestingly I have no craving for the usual chillies šŸŒ¶...šŸ˜® šŸ¤© ā­ļø šŸ‘


Roasted fresh daily as it quickly sold out by late afternoon, while in the Q earlier, the lady boss reminded the customer to open up to ā€œairā€ if she want to keep for dinner time, as itā€™s still piping warm ... thatā€™s the testimony of Roasted fresh everyday! šŸ¤£



I managed to snap photo of Mr KF Seetohā€™s past review of this stall for your reading pleasure. Mr KF Seetoh, well respected in the Foodie community and always equate with Makansutra. One of my Blogging Idol ... šŸ˜® šŸ¤©


Above all, added into my repertoire of Great Roasted Duck šŸ¦† in my library šŸ“š.


Itā€™s Roasted Duck drumstick šŸ—... Yummily šŸ˜‹ Great šŸ‘!
