Home Treasure Salted Duck – Hokkien Salted Duck on Yishun Ring Road

Opened by housewife-turned-hawker Mdm Sylvia Chew, Home Treasure Salted Duck is located in a coffee shop on Yishun Ring Road. Mdm Chew started out cooking her Signature Salted Duck for her friends and family, before they encouraged her to open her own stall.

The Signature Salted Duck Rice ($4.60) is topped with crispy garlic bits. Contrasted with the chewiness of the yellow-hued duck skin, the meat gave varying textures in each mouthful. The salted duck is marinated in Mdm Chew’s special blend of salt and spices for 3 days, before it is cooked. That said, with the salt drawing some moisture out of the duck, it was slightly drier compared to the typical roasted or braised ducks. The option to dip the duck into their chilli padi, lime and garlic sauce mixture is always available though!

The rice dishes also come with a side of soup to complete the meal.

However, what left me shook was her Braised Pork Rice ($4.80). The melt-in-your-mouth pork belly was extremely tender and flavourful, armed with both sweet and savoury notes. The glistening layers of fat and lean meat were a joy to tuck into. The rice was doused in a nice sauce and was completed with a braised egg.

For those looking for something lighter, you can opt for the Salted Duck Porridge ($4.10). The portion is generous, and the porridge which comes with some braised peanuts make a great breakfast or lunch option.

With traditional Hokkien salted ducks hard to come by these days, be sure to pop by if you’re in the area!
