Pointing to Kwang Hoi Braised Duck 光辉卤鸭饭面 as we drove by, "Many of my friends like this braised duck shop" she said.
So, I came back to Rosmerah a couple of days later to check out Kwang Hoi Braised Duck.
The owners, a couple, have been in the braised duck and pork business for over 20 years (since 1990s). The boss Ah Heng 亚兴 worked in a braised duck stall in Singapore when he first started out years ago.
We ordered duck and gizzards (I like innards) for two persons.
The duck was cut into strips and bathed in watery braising sauce. Personally, I prefer my duck in large broad thin slices or big chunks so that I can savour that subtle ducky flavour :D
The duck meat was very tender and was served boneless. The Chinese herbal & spice aromas and flavours were strong - boneless and herbal duck are Kwang Hoi's main selling points. Many people like Kwang Hoi for their tender, boneless, herbal duck.
I also found Kwang Hoi likeable but I prefer to have my meat served with bone because I enjoy picking the flesh from between the bone crevices :P I love the gamey flavour of ducks and like to eat it with very little additional flavourings.
The lady boss put in a lot of effort to carefully debone the ducks as many people like to eat their duck boneless.
The slice of duck gizzard was very tender with a subtle crunch.
Kwang Hoi also have popular stewed pork belly and pork skin which are done soft-tender. Their spicy sour stewed vegetable 酸菜 is also well loved by their fans. Braised tofu with fresh soy bean taste is worth trying also.
Uniquely in Johor Bahru, we ate our braised duck with kway teow kia in savoury slightly peppery braising sauce. Kwang Hoi also serves an oil and sauce flavoured rice which I shall try at my next visit.
Kwang Hoi's chili sauce is worth noting. Strong savoury hae bee (dried shrimps) taste and aroma with tangy and spicy flavours.
Kwang Hoi's popular sambal chili sauce is made at the shop. It takes 10 hours of stirring and cooking over a slow fire to make the sambal 😮
If you like tender, boneless duck with strong herbal flavours, you will like Kwang Hoi Braised Duck 光辉卤鸭饭面.
(The owner declined to accept our payment for our meal. Duck rice costs RM4.50 a serving.)
