Stomach stomach, my growling stomach...where serves the best duck meat???!!!

Talk about duck, i have been sourcing for good halal duck for years. The first halal duck that i ever ate is from Malaysia Johore Bahru Pan Pacific Hotel's chinese restaurant (they also serve dim sum from 12noon to 2am). Their peking duck is the authentic crispy duck where they will slice the duck skin to eat with crepe, hoisin sauce and cucumber.

Delifrance Bistro also serves duck cooked in french way. The duck is cooked so well that it simply melts in your mouth. It tastes very unique when u eat it with mashed potato and braised cabbage. Below is the description of this french delicacy from Delifrance

Confit de Canard:
Duck Confit, a traditional French classic, slow-cooked and seared for a crisp layer of skin, served with braised red cabbage, broccoli and mashed potatoes

Last year, my muslim friend recommended me to try roast duck selling near Rex Theatre. But the skin is not crispy and the meat is tasteless and chewy. I was pretty disappointed with the duck sold there.

My department organised destress lunch at Hyatt and i found the BEST halal duck from Hyatt's StraitsKitchen. I've been to StraitsKitchen twice and without fail, i will attack their duck (at least eat 5 plates). It is better than JB Pan Pacific. The duck skin is very very very crispy and the duck is roasted well that the fat underneath the skin has melted. The meat is tender and succulent.

Hope StraitsKitchen will keep their duck standard.
