Best Braised Duck Noodles In Singapore – Fu Yuan Can Shi Coffeeshop Bangkit Road
Having the best braised duck noodles in Singapore can be one of the most memorable culinary experiences on this little tiny dot of an island city. There are, in fact, many food stalls and hawkers in Singapore that are worthy of having a tag for selling the most delicious braised duck noodles, and I will update this post as I find each of them. But the very first one I will introduce is close to my home and easy access makes it a must try for anyone relishing some lip smacking tasty braised duck kway teow or noodles, wet or dry!
To have one of the best, proceed to Fu Yuan Can Shi coffeeshop at the junction of Bangkit Road and Bukit Panjang. It is one of two kopitiams that are right next to each other, the other one being at the location where there was previously a McDonalds. There are other goodies to be found in Fu Yuan Can Shi kopitiam in Bangkit Road, but a must try is their very good braised duck kway teow. I usually go for the dry version since I prefer having my noodles drenched in the black and gooey braised duck sauce with a generous serving of chili. Mix it together well and this is traditional duck noodles in its best form.
One other factor that is really great and attractive about Fu Yuan Can Shi’s braised duck mee is that it’s cheap! Cheap and good food in Singapore is becoming a rarity just like cheap but good Singapore chicken rice, but you have it right here in the West side of the country. This fantastic dish costs only $2.50 and it is enough to fill your hungry stomach! The noodles are firm yet soft, and they are smooth and slide down your throat in a manner that is hard to describe but heavenly all the same. An important part of the mix is the chili, so ask for more of it to make the whole dish really tasty.
How about the braised duck that comes with it? The servings are generous, at least 5 slices of the most tender braised duck breast that you will ever get. Most braised duck noodles in Singapore do not come with great duck meat, but the one served by Fu Yuan Can Shi is an exception. It always tastes well marinated and they are not too thick nor too thin. You can taste the tender juices seeping through it and it adds to the overall flavour.
So if you are craving for traditional local food and not just excellent Japanese Baikohken ramen, you can get some of the best braised duck noodles or kway teow to be found in Singapore, there is no need to travel too far within the Lion City. Just make a quick trip to the West at Bangkit Road and Fu Yuan Can Shi will have what you need. The block where it is situated at is very near the Bukit Panjang exit along BKE, so it is hard to miss. In fact, once you enter Bukit Panjang Road from the expressway, it will be the after the first junction on your right.
