my OPS buddy bought 3pax dinner at 劉強烤鴨店-House of Roasted Duck at Bugis+ on 16.6.2016.

roast duck is their specialty.

as we ordered a few dishes, decided to go light on carbs. in any case my this friend didn’t take any at all, even lower carbs than me, lol! 🙂

had just 1 plain porridge to share between 2. it was really good, very smooth, consistent, tasty, absolutely hong kong standard. just the right 火候&功夫!

kong kong chef lau wai keung was previously with excelcior hong kong, no wonder right?

roast duck was good. my friend ordered the drumstick quarter S$16 on the menu.

it seemed very large serving, maybe special for my friend who is a regular customer.

skin was very crispy, flavour was ok but not the very “pang” ones i had at－

• JB ya wang 鸭皇,
• tunglok signatures,
• xin cuisine or
• canton paradise.

the meat looked very slightly old老 in the photo & was not as smooth, tender, moist as the other places. price for 1/2duck was S$28, more ex than canton paradise, cheaper than xin cuisine & tunglok signatures.

so for me, the duck was ok but did not quite impress.

the deep-fried intestines were very good, totally hong kong standard, very crispy 脆 & tasty.

i think may not get this standard also in many places in hong kong, street or restaurants.

it is NOT my favourite food though. i much prefer the braised big intestines at the kuay chap stalls.

the siew yoke 烧肉  was the best. skin was very crispy 脆 & fine, very thin, not chewy at all.

texture & flavours of the meat & fatty parts were superb. one of the best i had. may not really be better than (say) imperial treasure, but this would up to any la…

this my best dish for the evening.

the 韭菜饺 was so-so, a part of the skin broke also…

siew mai 烧卖 was pedestrian also…

i think red house (prinsep) dimsum a lot better than here. currently with 40% discounts, cheaper too.

the 杨枝甘露 was very good. 杨枝甘露  is very common in restaurants & most very average. this one was really good, just the right tangy sweetness, lots of pomelo & nice mango taste & smooth consistent texture.

dinner was S$64 for 3pax. pretty good.

i like especially the roast pork & porridge, will come back here with my sis for the “hong kong” experience. maybe also with the friends on our jan2016 hong kong trip also. ^^
