Yu Kee House Of Braised Duck

Average braised duck, pork and offal shop that sells rice, noodles and kway chap. The herbal aroma from the soup is definitely getting fainter. Overheard a staff lamenting that prices of ginseng had gone up 30%. I normally eat kway chap or dry duck noodles. For sure I have tried better and more succulent braised dishes, but the dishes from this shop are considered happily edible, and staff are efficient and helpful. Will continue to support neighbourhood shops!

I’m used to eating from the Yu Kee franchise/branch outlets and have found quality to be relatively consistent and good. As my first visit, I notice a difference in the meat quality. It is nice and fatty and served in thicker unflattened pieces. However, I thought that the rice was less flavourful and merely salty. The sweet and sour (or Thai style) chilli that I’m used to from the branch outlets was not available here. At this outlet, it is more of a chilli+vinegar mix which I didn’t like. It was not served with salted vegetables as well. Will likely visit again to try other items. Hopefully I’ll get to try the soup during my next visit.
