Restaurent Sunrise @ PJ, Duck Only.

I think it is not easy to find another restaurant selling nothing else but hundreds of roast duck each day, and dare to claim to be able sold out every day.

Sunrise's business hour is started 11:30am until sold out everyday. It has been such for many years.

Pun Chun @ Kota Kemuning

There is one very famous duck noodle restaurant Pun Chun in Bidor.

Because it is at the small town towards Ipoh, it serve either few local regulars or travellers.

Pun Chun Revisited

On the day before Chiness New Year, I went to Bidor and had my duck leg mee, yummy!
Boo said that their "yam kok" is also wonderful.
So, I had no choice but to stop by the shop again to try it out.

Snapped some photo on how they prepare the "Wu Kok". Looks easy? But I could not do that.

After deep fried, those balls carried by this special tray. Very traditional Chinese feel.

Fresh from the boiling oil, pack home and no body will run away with it.

Fine display, smells great also.

"Cha Siew" inside, yam paste outside. Crisp yet tasty.

Duck Leg Mee... in Bidor

This is fresh! I just had my very best duck leg noodle about 5 hours ago in Bidor and now sitting here writing about it. Please appreciate my "hard work".

Few weeks ago when we traveled to Cameron Highland, we stopped at Bidor and had our duck leg noodle in a shop call Pun Chun. It is a very famous tourist shop selling all kind of tibits, biscuits, etc. I was amazed how special the duck, soup and the noodle was. However, my phone's camera that day wasn't working properly and the pictures taken was not clear.



I am not sure today is my lucky day or not, as I had to work (when most of the people are packing to go home for CNY) and travel to Trolak. And I had a chance to stop by Bidor again and have it the second time. The shop is located at the Bidor old town, main road, not far from the exit toll. It is very easy to find. Serving was fast and good. With such a tasty food, I think I am okay about the price (not going to mention here). Lets get to the point and do some review.



Appearence:
One big piece of duck leg was served in a metal bowl with herbs (ginger, longan, geizhi, etc) and soup in dark color. It shows that the food had been steam or braised in long time.

The noodle looks great, not too yellow or too dark in color. Not sure if it was special made or getting from somewhere else.



Odor:
The duck soup came with strong herbs aroma. Smell nice.

Taste:
The main course was the soup. Fantastic! So sweet and tasty. Full of energy!

The meat had been braised for long, so it was very soft (even the bone was easily broken away). Its texture was definitely not good, if you are looking for tendery bite. However, as it was very soft, and had been cooking for long, the taste of herbs had reversed back to the meat. I was getting the kind of strong herbs flavor, little duck taste but very sweet for the meat. For the noodle. I like its texture. Very springy and elastic. Definitely the cook had done some good job in preparing it.

Fantastic Roasted Duck... Fantastic Food!

I have friends do not like duck at all. They said it is the smell they could not stand. On the other hand, I have lots of friends crazy about duck, just like me. We love the flavor, the meat, the texture and the smell.

Since young, I had been trained to eat roast duck. This is because, it is one of my mother's favorite food. We could finish the whole bird in couple of minutes (ofcourse that was the time I badly need proteins for growing).

Because I was just plainly loving duck at that time, I was not very choosy. You gave me a plate of duck mee, I would be happy. You offered me duck rice, I would smile. I was only able to difference dry meat or juicy meat. Fat meat or lean meat. Crispy roasted skin or over burned skin. I was eating all of them.

Few years ago, when I worked in PJ, my previous boss brought me to a shop around Paramount called Sunrise Duck. Wow! I thought that was the most beautiful bird I had ever seen. We queue and waited for so long, but I never regretted. After that, I took my family there to show off and they said it was above average only. Disappointed, but I wonder what on earth will have the best duck.

Loong Foong Seafood, but why on earth there is fantastic roasted duck there?!

Sometimes good things just happen to be very near. There is one shop in Paramount call Loong Foong (at the corner) offering fantastic roasted duck. I brought my family, friends from Kuantan, from Philippine, from Singapore, from Thailand and non of them forget the shop.

During my first visit, I thought it was a seafood restaurant because of the sign and the set up. People also having the normal cooked dish like fish, prawn, vegetables, tofu, or even Hokkian Mee, etc. Infect, all the food there are well prepared and tasty also.

These pretty birds will only last for less than a couple of minutes!

At the entrance of the restaurents, there is one stall always hanging few roasted duck in the cabinet. If you thought that is the only stock they offer, you are totally wrong. The 4 to 5 birds will only last for less than 15 minutes. The guy will keep topping up the stock regularly from the kitchen.

This fellow just chopping and chopping and chopping...

I have never be able to calculate how many birds they chopped, even during my meal there. The fellow just kept chopping and chopping.

Crispy on the outside, tender and juicy in the inside. Yummy!

The meat was very juicy, thick and lean. Not fat at all. It was very tender and the texture was very soft. You can easily bite it through and when chewing in the mouth, the flavor and aroma will attack your taste bud by melting its juice. I wonder where they bread the duck. Don't tell me they perform daily message, exercise, therapy to the birds just like Kobe Beef.

With such a good meat, the person who roast it surely has some great skill also. The duck's skin was perfectly burned. Golden color and crispy. (my mouth is watery when I am writing this part) The shop only open in the evening and its duck will be always very "laku". So, better go there early and book it before late.

The restaurent offers other well prepared food also, such as this "kung po sotong".
