New Market Teochew Braised Duck Rice @ Alexandra Village Food Centre

Having been to Alexandra Village Food Centre many times, New Market Teochew Braised Duck Rice is one of those stalls that I have yet to try. During my recent visit, I decided to brave the long queue and got a plate of duck meat and braised ingredients for lunch.

Once at the front of the stall, you will get a clear view of the different braised ingredients that is available at the stall. You can mix and match to your preference or just go for the braised duck if you are not that adventurous.

Mixed Braised Duck Platter 4.2/5

I had a plate of Mixed Braised Duck platter which comes up to $16.50 with a bowl of rice. I ordered quarter braised duck, duck liver, braised intestines, braised tofu,braised egg and pig skin. The braised sauce is darker and richer than most places, with a distinct herbal taste to it. In fact, it has a slight hint of bitterness probably from the herbs but not throwing the balance off.

The duck meat itself was quite tender too. I enjoyed having it with chilli sauce which is actually quite spicy with a tad of tanginess. While I also enjoyed the rest of the braised items, I thought the intestines were a bit gamey.

Overall I have a satisfying lunch at New Market Teochew Braised Duck Rice. I don't mind returning for a meal if I have craving for braised duck.

Sticky Wings @ Westgate - Brand New Fried Chicken Concept Inspired By Southeast Asia Flavours

A new F&B concept selling fried chicken with Southeast Asia inspired flavours have replaced 4 Fingers at Westgate. The new fried chicken restaurant, Sticky Wings is a self service restaurant with 68 seats featuring light wood furnishing with vibrant pops of neon pink, blue, yellow and green.

Spicy Flamin Fried Chicken 4/5, Sticky Kecap Manis Fried Chicken 3.8/5

The fried chicken here comes in 4 different sets consists of different chicken parts combination, namely Black Belt ($8.50), Knockout ($8.50), Drumchucks ($8.50) and Level Up ($28).

Black Belt ($8.50) - 1 drumstick + 3 two-joint wings
Knockout ($8.50) - 6 two-joint wings
Drumchucks ($8.50) - 2 drumsticks
Level Up ($28) - 4 drumsticks, 8 two-joint wings

Diners can also choose between the fiery Spicy Flamin which is concocted with a secret blend of chillis or the sweet Sticky Kecap Manis. I have to warn you the spicy flamin fried chicken is really very spicy, not for the faint of heart. For those preferred to have the fried chicken without any sauce, you can opt for the Naked which comes without sauce.

Tat's Egg=citing 3/5

For the sides, we tried the Tat's Egg-citing ($5.90) and We Meet Again ($6.50). Tat's Egg-citing is actually straight cut fries dressed in an addictive salted egg yolk sauce, nacho cheese and topped with tomato salsa.The fries has a nice thickness giving it a good bite to it. The salted egg yolk sauce blend has a tad of spiciness with a hint of curry leaves aroma. However I thought the tomato salsa was a bit out of place.

We Meet Again 3.5/5

For the We Meet Again, the straight cut fries are crowned with slow-cooked minced beef rendang. The rempah is actually quite shiok. I even joking suggest to have the butter rice with the rendang sauce.

Cluckin' Good 4/5

Besides the fried chicken, Sticky Wings also offers burger on the menu. Instead of the usual bun, the burger is sandwiched in between two malasade (Portuguese doughnuts). We tried the Cluckin' Good ($7.90 each/ $10.40 combo) which comes with a juicy chicken thigh fillet marinated with aromatic lemongrass. The combination of the savoury fillings with the sugar dusted malasade works for me.

Let you in into something different and special at Sticky Wings. On weekdays, the restaurant offers local breakfast options such as bee hoon and nasi lemak with chicken wing, fish fillets and chicken cutlet. On weekends, diners will get to have pancakes and chicken sausage patties.

Note: This is an invited tasting.
