Ah Nian Braised Duck Rice Kway Chap Noodle - 531A Upper Cross St

Maybe because I ordered take away, but the duck and rice were very dry. Also, I ordered with peanuts, but didn’t receive any, all for the cost of $5.70

Ingredients, especially the intestines, of the kway chap were soft and well-braised. The broth of the kway, however, was rather bland.

Quality and quantity is good. Not too salty but just right.

Generous in servings good worth. Duck so tender and no strong smell. Chilli lacks spiciness.

Soup! You must drink their herbal soup! Have not tasted such strong herbal soup that came with duck rice since 1990s They serve big portion of duck meat and not some stall that smash them to look more. Their chili is not the best type to match with Braised Duck.

Tasty Kway Chap at good prices! Well prepared and generous portions. The lady serving us was thoughtful and diligently prepared our order although it was getting late. Not too salty and lots of flavour. Would recommend you to drop by to enjoy the duck rice too if you have a craving. Enjoy!

Flavourful and tender duck (order drumstick), herbalicious soup. Nothing to complain! A surprise find and it's one of the few stalls that was still open. Will be back to try it again for sure!

See I have a theory. If you order a char siew rice, and a roast pork rice, compared to a char siew and roast pork rice, would you get similar amount of each meat even if price is near similar? Thus it is quite normal to be short changed even as you upsize. But in today's case, shortchanged is an understatement. Around the Hong Lim to People’s Park Hawker area, there's like an abundance of very good Braised Duck, Kway Chup stores. First that comes to mind is Lek Kee at People’s Park, though they only come with white rice, no noodles or kway. Also they open at 11am only with a queue waiting, and even as you see them hang like 15 ducks they will finish by 1pm. Next you have the Michelin recommended Ah Heng at Hong Lim, they doesn't open on weekends. Thirdly you have You Kee that became a familiar chain over 2 decades mainly for their cheap and small portions, and umami chilli. Lastly this An Nian that beside this stall, has another outlet at the nearby coffee shop that operate 24hrs. I had a very bad experience there, basically gamey and dirty pig intestines. Today being a Saturday morning, thought I gave this stall a try. Went for the $7.80 set, silly me. As said shortchanged is an understatement. It's practically a rip off. Open up my set meats, I got 5 slices of braised duck, and what happened to my kway chup ingredients? On their picture you see braised pork belly, pig skin, tau kwa, but in my takeaway I only got 3 items. Half a braised egg, pig intestines and slices of tau pok. That's it. Then 5 pieces of braised duck. Looking at the duck, broken up skin, mushy looking duck meat, and I realised, why they only hang 4 ducks to begin a long day. The duck is salty, dry and mushy. Obviously leftovers and rebraised. In fact everything is overly salty, Kway broth is salty too and overly oily. Lastly, my worst fear, the intestines are not cleaned properly thus very gamey and you can taste whatever the pig ate and partly decomposed. Same as their other stall, thus probably factory batch produced and delivered to stalls. There's a reason why people queue for good food. Mental note, never waste calories on food not worthy of it. In this case luckily I didn't, only wasted money. I trashed the whole lot. Didn't want to take a chance of getting sick eating dirty intestines.
