New-ish stall and I thought I would try... Prices are above average range but the quantity and quality was disappointing.
As I wanted no rice, I ordered the three combination of roast duck, char sew and roast pork belly (siu yok).
The char siew was quite nice, largely due to the sauce. Fat and lean distribution was nice too but more fatty than usual Singapore-style char siew. Taste-wise, it did not have enough char to it.
Roast pork belly was surprisingly... normal. A little too salty and skin was not crispy enough. Even the NTUC-bought one is better. Skip this if you want to eat.
The roast duck, which is supposed to be the iconic dish for this stall - skin was crispy, meat was not overly tough, but not tender either. Still slightly above average.
Now the issue is... It is not worth the kind of money for the quality and food portion. Is it Singapore street roasted meat which are affordable and taste normal? Nope. Is it fancy expensive place with good quality? Nope. Is it value for money? Meh.
The pieces of meat were miserly. From the photo it may look like a lot, but it's flattened. And the thickness is about at best 1cm tall. All looks, no substance.
And this portion cost me a premium of $9!
Won't come back here again.

Ambience of this little duck cafe in Clementi Mall is simple but cheery enough.
Roast duck was fresh but could have been charcoal grilled for a bit longer
Helpings were substantial enough but the chef should have taken more pains in chopping up the duck. Mine had meat interspersed with bone, making it difficult to eat the duck fully!
A more smiling demeanour by the person serving would certainly help

They got my orders messed up, but promptly rectified it and waived off the charges so I suppose that's not so bad. The rice was too wet/mushy IMO but the roast duck was decent - tender and succulent, but a little lacking in flavours. The char siew was average, a bit too fatty for my liking but also kind of flat in terms of flavours; the sio bak was okay but not as savoury and crunchy as some others I've tried previously. Overall, it's a decent meal but probably not one I'll be craving for in the near future.

Most of the afternoon I will drop by here to have my lunch. The first impression for their salted baked chicken noodle was not bad . Quite nice with the taste. However they did not maintain their standard. It is not consistent with the standard of their food. Today was the most disappointed Time I ate. As I order extra chicken . I never know they will give me all the bones. As I do not wanna waste food so I never ask them to change. I will still give them a chance by dropping by one more time to see if their standard could go back to the first time I ate.

TLDR: stale food, high prices
Horrendous food for ridiculous prices. I got an old cucumber soup with rice for 7.50. As you can see from the image, the soup had 2 tiny pork ribs (mostly bone) and a chicken foot full of fats and looking like it’s been inside the soup pot for weeks. Felt so gross 🤮. Even though I only tried this, my impression of the food is stale and overpriced. Will never come back
