Braised duck, Kam Hiong Coffeeshop

It was a last minute decision that amy and I decided to have dinner at Kam Hiong Coffee shop for its famous teow chew braised duck. I first came to this shop nearly 10 years ago and am glad to say that the taste remains the same till to date :). This stall only opens for dinners and the whole coffeeshop is usually packed with customers especially on weekends.
The main dish is obviously the braised duck (lou ngap) ;p
The famous braised duck at KamHiong
The duck meat was tender and aromatic, infused with subtle herbs and spices flavours. Once chopped, the duck is smothered with thick duck gravy which goes very well with piping hot rice or porridge. We were also given this homemade chilli and sambal sauce which complements the duck dish too.
As there were only 2 of us, we only managed to order the ham choy for second dish.
Dont be fooled by this plain looking hamchoy, its really yum!
Actually, I love the hamchoy here. Its boiled (with fried lard) for so long that the moment you put a spoonful into your mouth, the hamchoy pratically melts! Shiok betul! ;p
Other side dishes includes braised mushrooms (which is plump and tasty), braised eggs, taufoo and pork. As I dont get to try that many braised ducks in PJ, I must say that this is a tasty dish that you can try when you crave for ducks that wont burn a hole in your pocket! :p (costs around RM5 per person)
Kam Hiong Coffeeshop is located at 8, Jalan Tengah, Off Jalan Yong Shook Lin. At PJ New Town, facing MPPJ building, next to UOB Bank.
