Hua Fong Kee Roasted Duck
Hua Fong Kee Roasted Duck (華芳記燒臘飯) may not be as "vernacular" as, say, Guan Chee or Kam's, nevertheless it has accreted a sizeable following through operating within the Toa Payoh estate for 30+ unfaltering years. Established in 1989 by husband-wife pair Johnny Teo and Jessie Sim, this time-hallowed siu laap institution makes no bones about its predilection for using free-range fowl culled from Perak, of which they must weigh an average 2.7kg each - all in the name of nailing that oft-elusive tender yet juicy.
Beyond duck, Hua Fong Kee also panders to porcine enthusiasts by way of its beaucoup char siew cum sio bak offerings.
What knocked our socks off:
Oh, how we swooned over the near faultless Roasted Duck Rice: dewy, luscious poultry mounded atop fragrantly oiled grains and lacquered with some emphatically sacchariferous ginger plum-infused lor zhup (braised dark gravy) pretty much struck the quintessential sweet spot. The Char Siew Noodle held up well too, thanks to lithe, eggy tendrils ribbed against prodigally caramelized char siew collops, yippee ki-yay.
