PLEASE NOTE, THIS IS ACTUALLY NOT POH KEI. THEY SHIFTED DOWN TO RESTORAN 328 WHICH IS BESIDE ST. IGNATIUS CHURCH

I've always love eating roasted duck and so far I've always fancied eating at Sunrise and Loong Foong Seafood which both are by far still the best that I've ever had. But eating at those location were only when I'm with someone and looking at the ever crowded place usually puts me off in going on my own. So then on this day I decided to try out Poh Kei Roasted Duck which is very near my house.

Housed in a typical shoplot that looks more like a house, it sits at the corner on it's own and from the outside, you wouldn't even know that it's a place to eat since it does not carry big signage to indicate that it's a restaurant. Rather, it's more towards the hearsay of people that you would know what this place is. Arriving at near lunchtime, the place was almost deserted with 2 groups of patrons there to have their share of rice. The only thing that's known to me at this place was the rice stall which carries a good number of different meat. It was only after I sat down awhile and started glancing over to the other side of this place is that I saw a forlorn noodles stall there which is actually opened for business. But today's mission was to try out the roasted duck rice and so that's what I went for. There really wasn't that many people who came by when I was there but they have an optimistically great number of meat displayed at their stall. I must say wow.

Pretty soon my Roast Duck Rice came and I got to tasting it. To tell you the truth, I don't see it as a really good roasted duck and to me it was only average. It didn't have that crispy skin texture that I so love nor the great tasting duck with it's sauce that would make me craving for me. All I'm getting is a decent average tasting duck. But the rice portion was quite big though and that's probably the best plus point of it all. Other than that, I don't see anything else really good to this and to me it's just another average rice stall.

I wonder what happen to the time where it boasted many people lining up for their roasted duck meat? I guess, this day just wasn't it. Maybe it's due to the long holiday that had people travelling away from their home but all I saw on that day were trickles of customers who's some are not even there for roast duck. Oh well. I guess it's time for me to return to Sunrise or eat at Loong Foong Seafood for roasted duck again. I probably should do it on my own one day should I be able to defeat the crowd. :(

Total Wallet Damage:
RM7. Quite expensive for a Roasted Duck Rice but that was the price that I was charged.

Final Verdict:
5.5/10. Price is high, duck is average. The rice portion is big though so that's probably the only plus point to me. I think I prefer the one at Glenmarie more where it's cheaper and the duck tasted better.
