八哩半大家发鸭肉 - Famous Braised Duck in JB

1B, Jalan Skudai Batu 8 1/2 (Lee Pineapple), Skudai 81300 Johor Bahru

We asked for the famous braised duck stall, the 'Skudai Braised Duck' that was featured on Ch 8, Street Smart《自由脚步》but our Malaysian friend told us otherwise. This legendary stall from year 1973 was their all time favourite instead.

Located in the narrow lanes behind Sutera Mall, go further down the road after you reached the Lee Pineapple factory.


And it was indeed famous. Its shop front adorned with enlarged prints of newspaper interviews and photographs posed with visiting celebrities and Malaysian politicians.

Our lunch for 4 pax, with duck blood soup and drinks (RM$71, S$28.40)

And while i was roaming the rural estate, our friend ordered a storm - just short of asking the server to dish up everything that's on their menu. Maybe we just missed out on their braised duck wings.

Pig Innards, Duck Tongue, Braised Eggs and Beancurd

Braised Pig Trotter (RM$18)

Two main dishes we will especially miss would be their braised duck meat and pig trotter. They are really delicious. Embarrassing myself in front of our generous host, i don't seem to be able to rest the chopsticks.

Seasoning was subtle and well-pleasing our taste buds.

Duck Noodle Kway Teow

Kway teow noodles or plain rice ladled with fragrant braised sauce to go with the dishes? You choose. Then it's glasses of iced lime juices with sour plum to sweeten the savory meal.

Lime juice with Sour Plum !
