Wu Yue Hua (五月花) – Serving Awesome Roast Duck in Serangoon
January 22, 2019
After a long day at work, sometimes I just want to put the dietary restrictions aside and reward myself with a good dinner. Especially if dinner consists of a sinful and sumptuous roast duck.
Wu Yue Hua (五月花) occupies a corner stall in Chop Joo Hiong Coffee Shop, which is just within walking distance from NEX.
I was tempted by Wu Yue Hua’s Char Siew and Sio Bak, but decided to focus on the Roast Duck today. I ordered the Duck Rice Set for 2 ($11.20, inclusive of 2 bowls of rice). You get about a quarter of a duck, and complimentary bitter gourd soup that you can help yourself to at the counter.
The roast duck was juicy, sweet, and rich in flavour. The roasted duck skin had a nice charm, and a slight crackle.
This is a meal that your personal trainer is not going to be particularly happy about
What really caught my attention at Wu Yue Hua was the fattiness of the duck. I flipped over a few pieces and saw the layer of fat underneath the skin. I used my chopstick to apply pressure on the skin, and oil oozed out and ran over the meat. The fat injected a lovely flavour to the tender duck meat, making every piece irresistible.
The thick and gooey braised sauce (卤) was impressive too. It was not too salty, and was extremely fragrant. The sauce complemented the duck without even threatening to overpower it. Should you choose to drench your rice with the braised sauce, it still will not be too salty.
The stall offers 2 kinds of chilli. The brighter one is similar to the chilli usually paired with Hainanese chicken rice, while the darker chilli is sweeter and saltier. I did not use either of the chilli sauces as the rich flavour of the duck was more than I could ask for.
After polishing off the plate of glorious duck, I was recharged and ready to face a new work day.
