鸭皇药材烧腊大王 Restaurant Ya Wang (Johor baru)

鸭皇药材烧腊大王 Restaurant Ya Wang

With a big fat duck icon as its signature signboard, this Chinese restaurant is easily spotted by passerby. Located just within 5 mins walk from City square shopping mall, this air con restaurant is well known by their duck recipe. They even proudly proclaim that they are the consultant for "Dian Xiao Er, 店小二" roasted duck recipe. 

Lots and lots of roasted duck hanging in front of the stall, waiting to be served

Apologized for the bad photo taken, beside roasted duck meat, they also serve braised duck wings and eggs

This menu for their set dishes are written on this board, although they are printed on their menu too. Their concept for the set dishes are similar to 店小二 set dishes. The number of pax are served with different number of dishes at different price. Of course, the more pax you have the more expensive it cost but more variety of food. 

Clean and tidy, most importantly, it is air-con!! A saviour for topical country

Sea coconut with longan RM4.50 - not too sweet, just right

For 2 pax, i took set A which consist of a herbal duck, vegetable, claypot tofu and a soup. All these for just RM42

Watercress soup - Clear soup cooked with pork ribs. You can find chuck of chicken meat and lots of watercress in this small pot.

Herbal duck meat - Well, i request from the auntie serving me that i want Angelic herb Duck meat. She told me she will put through my request and Ta da, i got what i want. It taste exactly the same as what i had in 店小二. Strong angelic herb sauce that are pour over the roasted duck. I was given a quarter part of the duck meat. The duck was roasted just right that gave me the crispy outer feeling, while the meat are tender and juicy. Yummy!!! I want more of this!! Have some gravy over your rice and take a bit of this wonderful meat, hmm, out of this world.

Clay Pot Tofu - Well, i must say this is a surprise to me as this is the 1st time i am having such dish. Maybe i should term it more correctly as Mixed Claypot Tofu. Lots of seafood in this pot, i get prawns, sliced squids, chicken meat, beans, mushroom, carrots and 2 big piece of tofu. The tofu are fried first before cooking it together with the other ingredients. Outer layer of the tofu is tough after frying but the inside is actually soft and succulent. More than what i can bargain for. The broth is thick and tasty.  

Stir fried Kai Lan - A simple vegetable dish, tasty and crunchy which prove of its freshness

Verdict: 4.5 /5

Price: RM23 per pax

I really like the food here, delicious and cheap. The duck meat really give me the kick that i want and what surprise me is the claypot tofu. It is filled with so much ingredients and it is tasty too. Really quite a good bargain.

The aunties here are friendly and readily available. They also offer suggestion to what we will like to have and help me on my request.

The only downside is the houseflies that can be irritating, but the place is still clean and comfortable to dine in.

I will suggest to have lunch or early breakfast here.

Ban Chuan Braised Duck Rice 萬全卤鸭饭

Ban Chuan Braised Duck Rice 萬全卤鸭饭

One of the stall located in Ang Mo Kio centre market, this is among my favorite duck dish places. From duck rice, duck noodle, duck kueh tiao to kueh chap and duck meat sets , price range from, $3.50 onwards. From the rice, to the duck to the sauce. The duck rice is really very tasty. The braised sauce is fragrant and the meat is soft and tender. Braised peanuts are included in most of the dishes too!!

The queue is usually very long as the stall is operated by old couple, hence be patience if you really want to try very delicious duck dishes.

Large variety of food - Braised Duck, braised egg, tofu.... etc  

Self serving on the braised sauce and chili 

Duck Kueh Tiao ($3.50) - Highly recommended dish. The duck meat is fresh and tender. Very thin layer of fat between the skin and the meat. The Kueh tiao is smooth and bean sprout are added too. Importantly, it is the broth that make the difference. The broth is thick and tasty, you have the option to choose either to add chili or tomato sauce. Both variety give different taste. I will suggest to take the chili version if you like spicy food.

Kueh Chap ($3.50 / $4.50 with Duck meat) - One of the best dish here, the kueh chap consist of pig skin, intestine, braised tau pok, pork meat, braised tau kee and peanuts. If you want to add duck meat, additional $1 which is worth it as the duck is very delicious. The sauce also enhance the ingredients flavour. Not so thick but tasty.

Verdict: 3 / 5

Price: around $3.50 onwards

I like the duck meat here and the food and price is reasonable here. Only service is abit slow. But who care if the food is nice right?

Try it if you drop by here.

鴨肉扁 - Taiwan, Taipei ( Ximending)

鴨肉扁 

Located at a corner of Ximending, Taipei, this restaurant serve goose dishes even though the name give an impression that they should be selling duck meat instead. With 2 floors of seats available, sometimes you will need to wait during peak hour for available seats.  

Half portion of Goose - TWD 800 

Quarter portion - TWD 400

Goose leg - TWD 300

Rice/Noodle/Mee Hoon or Vermicelli  - TWD 50 

Goose meat are slightly braised, not too soft but tender and juicy. The meat totally absorb its marination and is very tasty. The thickness of each piece of meat are just right proportionally, you can just pop one into your mouth and chew it. 

The dark sauce are especially made and it goes very well with the goose meat.   

Vermicelli soup is mouth watering. Do not be deceive by its pale presentation, it is actually full of flavours. The vermicelli is very soft and chewy, it is very thin too. This is my first time seeing such thin vermicelli. The vermicelli totally absorb the broth flavour. This dish is very tasty.

Same as its counter part, this is actually serve with noodle which is very yummy

Foie gras - Wow!! No smell or mushy feel at all.  

Verdict: 3.5 / 5

Price:

Food is very good and yummy, i cant eat enough, keep wanting to have more, especially for the goose meat. Really tasty and nice.

Service provided by the staffs are not that great. Some of the staff actually give attitude.

Overall, i will still come back and visit this restaurant again for their food.
