Rui Heng Braised Duck

10 May 2026 update: The quality of the San Chan Bak has dropped! It is now the mass market frozen pack type that is used by so many stalls. Earlier on, the 3-layer pork pieces were fatty and nicely stewed with the rest of the spare parts. Now it is the tough, dense, healthier choice nonsense. Ref photo comparison. We have been coming here for years. Disappointed with this turn of events. Hopefully someone sees this an reverts to HappierChoice meat instead of the commercial kitchen stuff. Dropped from 5 stars to 4 stars. To be fair, the kway is still very good (stretchy texture) and the large intestines are well done. Not sure why they would sacrifice the san chan bak like this; it just spoils the whole experience. --Earlier Review-- (we did like this place very much) Definitely one of the better Kway Chap + Braised duck places around. Kway is still nice and stretchy (instead of crumbly). Texture of the pig skin is also at the right balance between fall-to-bits jelly and hard rubber. They also have duck gizzard done well. Again, not hard rubber but nicely chewy (and not stinky). Good sized portions relative to price too. And to top it off, they have good chilli. Both the hae bee hiam type for the duck and the vinegar-ish type for the rest of the "spare parts".

Very good quality tender braised duck and for $5 it's a big portion esp the rice given. The herbal soup is good too. Always long queue during peak hours and sold out at around 3pm. Will always come at around 2pm when there is lesser crowd.

I’ve been a customer of Rui Heng for years, and their duck rice and Kway Chup are simply delicious. The sauce and soup are fantastic, so you might find yourself in a queue on weekends, but it is definitely worth the wait. Plus, there is plenty of parking if you are driving.

Packed at 703 Hougang 🍜 Dish: Kuey Chap with Pork Ingredients and Duck Meat Well-cooked and nicely soaked in a rich, umami braised sauce. The flavours really come together — hearty, savoury, and comforting. The generous coriander adds a fresh lift that brings the whole dish to the next level of goodness. ⭐ Rating: 8.5/10 (jinghorjiak 😀👍👍)

Got there around 11am weekday and there was already a queue of about 5. There were like 3 or 4 manning the stall and service was fast despite multiple orders per customer. The kuey was thin and soup flavoursome with herbal notes. I ordered for 1 person portion with extra big intestines and came up to a reasonable $7.50. The stew sauce was topped with a thicker layer and was excellent. All ingredients were fresh and clean, especially the intestines with no foul smell. All in all, a pleasant experience and one of the better kuey chaps around. I'm a non vegetarian so you don't see any greens in my photo. Yah I read that they're good for you but I'm 65 and still alive. The only down side is coffee shop is full and had to stand and wait a short while for a table.
