Kun Ji Duck Rice at Marine Parade Central is a heritage hawker stall that serves Teochew-style braised duck rice, a dish that showcases the Teochew tradition of slow-braising poultry in a soy-based master stock until the meat is tender and deeply infused with aromatic flavour. The stall is known for its duck sliced to order from a whole braised bird, laid over rice that has been cooked in braising liquid, with each grain carrying the savoury essence of the stock. Each plate comes with a drizzle of braising sauce and sides like braised tau kwa and peanuts, creating a meal that is simple in concept but complex in execution, the hallmark of great Teochew cooking. The Marine Parade Central coffee shop location has made Kun Ji a fixture in the neighbourhood, drawing residents who have grown up on its braised duck and return for the consistency that defines a trusted hawker stall. For anyone who believes braised duck rice is one of Singapore's most satisfying yet underrated dishes, Kun Ji makes the case eloquently. Order the duck rice, pour the sauce, and taste the Teochew tradition.Operating Hours

Really love the braised duck here. Also like the soft fluffy rice cooked just right amount of moisture. The taste has remained the same over the years, though expected that the prices have gone up a bit. Overall still reasonable and that's why there is a perpetual queue here.
