Yan Ya: Smoked Duck Specialist

With SCS Butter


Tucked deeper in this little Coffeeshop in Siglap is a smoked duck joint that looked pretty promising. Actually this LTN coffeeshop is pretty horribly laid out. There is little exposure for the stalls that are deep inside the coffeeshop but I am beginning to appreciate just how many gems there are in there. Right towards the end there is a Tandoori stall and a Vadai stall which are both pretty good which I have yet to take some pictures of.

But anyway, the one that caught my attention was this stall that claims to be the specialist in smoked duck. Yeah, my sentiments exactly. What's the diff between smoked duck and roast duck? Seems like the same deal to me.

But the duck actually turned out to be unexpectedly good! And I must say that the flesh has actually got a smoky flavour to it. (Or is this just a case of auto-suggestion?) Anyway the duck was quite enjoyable and the char siew was also quite pleasing. Don't mind eating here at from time to time since it is so close to home. 4.25/5

Conclusion

Not bad, not bad at all! I'd say this is a "yet to be" rated Roast Duck. Only problem is that they don't have the plum sauce to go with it.

Hi ieat,

You have a very impressive blog, loaded with delicious write-ups on goodies. I will certainly try out some of these stalls.

Thanks for putting in so much effort.
