8 Best Braised Duck Rice In Singapore You Need To Braise The Queue For
For many Singaporeans, a good ol’ plate of chicken rice may be what their idea of comfort is and is what people often crave most especially after a long time abroad. For us, braised duck rice is an equally contestable dish that also brings us comfort like no other.
There are a countless number of stalls serving braised duck rice here in Singapore. However, not all of them can guarantee the same level of satisfaction. Yes, we’re talking about a braised duck that’s both tender and succulent, deeply enriched with just the right amount of spices and coated in a sauce that you just want to spoon over every edible thing.
Here we have sussed out 8 braised duck rice stalls in Singapore that we can be certain you’ll make return trips for—short waiting time not guaranteed.

JIN JI TEOCHEW BRAISED DUCK & KWAY CHAP
Established in 1980, Jin Ji Teochew Braised Duck & Kway Chap whips up classic Teochew-style braised duck but with a creative twist.
They offer a rather unique rendition of braised duck rice that gives the dish an entirely fresh look—think yam rice served in the form of rice balls and a side of Harajuku eggs! We don’t know about you, but never have we seen duck rice presented in this manner before.

LIANG ZHAO JI
Unlike the usual braised duck stalls, Liang Zhao Ji does not serve kway chap to go with their perfectly tender duck but we reckon that it is because their duck rice is set to satisfy any of your braised duck cravings
For something more comforting and equally delectable, opt for their duck porridge (S$3) which features braised duck hidden beneath Cantonese-style congee—the magic happens when you mix the braising sauce together with the porridge. So delicious!
