Located along the same row as Xiang Jiang Soya Sauce Chicken at Alexandra Village Food Centre is another famous stall called New Market Teochew Braised Duck Rice.
Run by a husband and wife team, this stall specializes in Teochew braised ducks but they also sell a plethora of other items like braised pork, braised pig's intestines, braised tau kwa, braised hard boiled egg, etc.
As with all popular stalls, a queue is to be expected. The chef seems unperturbed by the long queue as he goes about chopping ingredients at his own pace. I waited in lineimpatiently for about thirty minutes before it finally reached my turn to order.
I had wanted to order a plate of braised duck rice and add on pig's skin with the lady taking orders but was told that they do not have it and recommended the skin from the pig's head instead.
Even though I eat pig's skin, pig's trotters, pork belly, the liver and even intestines, there are still areas that I do not dare to eat like the ears, nose, tail, heart and in this case, the head.
I declined politely and left the queue with only a plate of braised duck rice ($4) in my hands.
