Delicious Duck At Dapur Penyet

On every Eid, I always look forward to eat my aunt's lontong and rendang. Her rendang is no ordinary rendang. It's duck rendang.

I remembered the first time I had a taste of duck meat was more than ten years ago. I was passing this stall at Mackenzie and decided to give its duck rice a try. It was terrible.

A few years later, I tried another duck rice from another restaurant. It was not to my liking. After a series of disappointments, I concluded that maybe duck was not my thing. Maybe, it was just my taste buds way of saying no to duck meat.

And I also concluded that maybe the spices used in my aunt's duck rendang is more my kind of thing.

One fine afternoon, my wife and I went over to Centrepoint Metro as there was a sale there and my wife wanted to buy some 'high tech machine' for her baking. Centrepoint was under some major renovation at that time and the number of eateries was rather limited, especially the halal eateries.

There were 2 restaurants opened for business on that day. One was Desa Kartika and the other was Dapur Penyet.

I've tried Desa Kartika and you will get to read about it on a different post. At that time, I think there was a wedding reservation at Desa Kartika and so we decided to try the other restaurant, Dapur Penyet.

Potluck Restaurant in IMM

Have you been to IMM in Jurong East? Right at level 1 is a very unique restaurant that offers affordable and home-style dishes in claypots. The restaurant settings were set in a nostalgic old Chinatown design that will bring you back to the 60s.

As I entered the restaurant, I was attended to a young, Chinese lady who handed me a 'newspaper' which turned out to be the menu. I thought it was a creative move, to make your menu into a newspaper and let your customer bring back and even pass it around to others.

Title of the newspaper.. lolz
