HUP SENG DUCK RICE: ARE YOU A FOOD WUSS?

Psst. 

There's good food in Sin Ming.

But then again, if you are a self-proclaimed foodie, you would have known that by now.

If you don't, then drop your foodie label.

Anyway, I digressed.

I love braised duck. I love kiam chye duck soup. And Hup Seng Duck Rice combines both nicely.

If you can't carry lots of stuff in one tray, get someone else to take over. 

Braised duck 4/5. Duck soup 4.5/5.

By the way, if you are not a food wuss, get the duck neck, gizzard and liver. The braised pork belly is great too!

IMPERIAL TREASURE SHANGHAI

Ngee Ann City's restaurant scene has seen changes over the years. For the keened eyes, you would have noted that Coca has left the building. And replacing it is the third Imperial Treasure offshoot in the shopping centre...Imperial Treasure Shanghai.

It is now perimeter-ed by a row of cocoon-like seating booths that can comfortably accommodate 5-6 easily. The lights are warm, low and fuzzy in the cocoon. Nice ambience but not good for photography.

The Food
As mentioned in an earlier post, I am not familiar with Shanghainese food. I took my time in the two-hours, ordering some food and waiting for them to be served and consumed before ordering more.

Nice and salted

Tri-coloured eggs 4/5

Crab terrine jelly 3.25/5

SAF steel?

Double-boiled lion's head!

Crab claw in wine.

Deep fried crispy duck 4/5

To wrap your duck with

Guo tie

The damage

Egg whites, red bean paste and pa-nana,

Conclusion
Nice place with good and light cooking. But then again, the menu is extensive. Go venture. 3.5/5
