Halal-certified or Muslim-owned food spots that serve duck

When an ex-colleague first discovered the crispy duck rice at Bebek Goreng Pak Ndut a couple of months back, he could hardly stop talking about it. He hadn’t even tried the food, but was already raving about it simply because of how rare it is for him to have duck dishes. It was only then did I realise that duck is not a common meat found in Muslim-owned or halal-certified places. Fret not though, as here is a list of places with halal duck dishes to check out should you be craving them!

1. Bebek Goreng Pak Ndut

To switch things up when you are tired of ayam penyet, try Bebek Goreng Pak Ndut’s Original Crispy Duck Rice ($9.90). With a choice of either breast or thigh meat, the fried duck also comes with white rice, tahu tempeh goreng, house-made sambal, and a generous topping of kroik (flour crumbs). Another dish that really left an impression was their Grilled Duck Rice ($9.90). Marinated in a house-made sauce and grilled over flames, the succulent duck meat was sweet, tangy, and smoky. Pair the meat with sambal manis to up the shiok factor!

Found opposite Rex Cinemas is an old coffee shop with a halal-certified zi char stall popular for their Duck Rice ($4.30). Served on white rice, you can expect the dish to come with a generous amount of duck drenched in a thick sweet sauce. While the stall serves other Chinese dishes, try not to stuff yourself; leave some space in your stomach for the Curry Puff ($1.20) from Selera Famous Chicken Curry Puff, which is also located in the same space. Besides curry puffs, the stall also fries up a variety of other snacks such as Goreng Pisang ($1) and Tapioca ($1).
