Here, watery brown gravy is drizzled over thinly sliced duck meat, which is layered atop a generous portion of steamed white rice.

I did think that the best parts of the plate was NOT the duck, but perhaps everything else that came together. The duck would have been a notch tenderer to steal my heart. Liang Zhao Ji Whampoa. The thing was that the duck was not as soft as some of the top stalls elsewhere in Singapore, and had a slight gamey taste. But matched with the flavourful rice and soup with strong herbal aroma, I thought that the overall combination was quite decent.
