Hollywood Lian Kee Duck Rice

Fans of Braised Duck Rice —
I noticed that this business could not be found here and I HAD to put this in!
I’ve been eating there since I was a kid in the 80s and my parents used to bring me to this run down canteen looking place at Tanjong Katong Road. A few years ago, they demolished that old canteen which was beside Lion City Hotel at Paya Lebar.
Thanks to google, I have found out last year that the best (and not forgetting «one of the cheapest») Braised Duck Rice does still exist!
Let’s just get down to the food —
The brown rice is moist and tasty with the thick chup (sauce). The chilli is tangy and spicey like how it should be! I hate it when mst places just give me the «sambal» this one has it mixed in for you. Sort of like the chicken rice chilli with the sambal added in. FANTASTIC! The taofu is pretty much the same as everywhere else, the duck gizzard is extremely soft and a nice generous portion of braised duck like it should be. Many other places leave you with what I call «strands» of duck (somewhere in the west, im not gonna say where). It also comes with herbal soup which they are happy to give me more of if I bring back the bowl and ask.
Go ahead and try it. Don’t just take my word for it. I’m just happy I found the place again. If you can find somewhere cheaper and nicer, feel free to tell me too! I love braised duck rice!
I asked the lady boss what are the days they close, she says they’re opened every other day, however do come early as they run out by afternoon around 3pm — 4pm. I’ve been there a few times since and best time is around 11 — 12noon.
