Looking through some of the food photos I have taken for this year (till now), I realized that I often order "DUCK" as my main course. Why? I am not sure of the real reason behind it, but most probably, it is not common on the dining table at home. My mummy seldom cooks dishes with duck unless there are special occasions. Thus, maybe subconsciously, my eyes will be 'attracted' to "Duck" dish on the menu. Here are some of the dishes I had so far:
1. Duck Confit Pie @ Pies & Coffee
Situated at Rochester Mall, Pies & Coffee is a great place to eat and chill with a couple of friends. The water feature wall right beside the cafe makes me feel like I am currently in a foreign country. Not much of people watching though. This place serves both savoury and sweet pies.
I had the Duck Confit - As the pie needs to be heated, the waiting time was around five minutes. Pipping hot pie with tender duck meat. The crispy crust is just nice and there isn't any hazzle to cut through it - no worries about making a mess while eating the pie. The mash potato is marvelous with small chunky potato and the gravy is great.

2. Duck Leg Confit @ Saveur
Where's for cheap and decent french food? The first place that comes to my mind is Saveur Restaurant. But the queue is always long. Good that they open the second outlet at Far East Plaza and I manage to visit the place on a weekday for lunch and there is not much of a crowd.
Had the Duck Leg Confit - the whole duck leg with a large portion of smooth and creamy mash potato. The potato was simply melt in my mouth and it really complements the duck meat. The orange sauce was interesting and it brought out a refreshing feeling when I ate it with the meat. The crispy skin on the outside makes the dish looks a bit overcooked but guess what, the meat is actually tender. No big fuss in trying to cut the meat into smaller pieces. The mushrooms were juicy and great too.

3. Duck Ramen @ Menya Musashi
Menya Musahi has an interesting menu. Identical type of Ramen dish but with three soup bases (black, red and white) to choose from. Not knowing which soup base is nice, I went for the Black Aburi Duck Ramen. Waiting time wasn't long. The ramen is chewy and nice. The tender duck meat is thinly sliced which made it easy for chewing. The soup is actually quite normal, nothing special about it. Went to goggle about what is in the black soup base and it turned out to have fried garlic and onion. But I could not really tasted that. Should have gone for the original white soup base before trying the others. And I guess the half boil egg is abit overcooked and does not give me the 'watery' feeling when I ate it.
