There is a new restaurant at Damansara Uptown - Twins Signature Roast Duck. It is located along the same row as Telekom.
My brother told me about it quite some time ago but I only tried it recently via Grabfood (because this month they have 50% promo). According to my brother, the roast duck is pretty good and I see that the Google reviews were favorable.
So one day I put in an order for the Signature Roast Duck (Quarter).
As you can see, they gave me the drumstick and thigh without me asking. I thought I might get breast. A small section of the skin was burnt. The duck was not bad but I did not think that it was that special.
I also added an order for Roast Pork.
Also quite all right but the meat was as if they pounded it as it had a "minced" texture (that's the best way to describe it).
I have yet to eat at the shop. These things, you order delivery, cook your own rice and sliced up your own cucumbers heh..heh....
I also got these sauces with my order.
The usual sweet sauce and chili dip. In addition they also gave chili oil. I did not expect that.
Another day I ordered the Signature Roast Duck (Thigh).
This one looks better (no burns) but the meat was tough and it had a gamey smell (like the oil gland of the duck's hind quarter). Luckily only a small part of the meat was affected.
Now for some new developments at The Starling hee..hee...
A new addition at the food court - Wishbone Fried Chicken. They were just setting up when I took this pic.
Dim Dou Duck which occupies the space vacated by Nicsmann is now operational.
Don't know if I will visit.
Oooooo....now I'm craving for roast duck. I think I'd just go and buy a drumstick to share with my girl - my missus doesn't eat duck so no point buying a lot! Yes, that one the second time around sure looked a bit nicer!
ReplyDeleteI used to be like your missus, simply did not like duck. But I have come around and duck is delicious! LOL!
DeleteOh dear, anything that's gamey is already difficult to eat....but when you went further to describe it as smelling like the oil gland from the butt area, then it's truly gross....lol! The blue facade of Dim Dou Duck looks familiar (took over from Nicsmann?). This DDD is from Choi Yen's area, maybe she knows...but from Google's low rating, you might not want to try. Their 3 main grouses...terrible service, small portions & high price not matched with taste...yikes! >_<
ReplyDeleteYup, the smell was awful. I think the knife/chopping board was contaminated when they cut the duck's butt area. The ratings are for the Desa Parkcity branch and I wonder if The Starling's would fare better. I doubt if I could go to DDD, I need company and my lahling won't be keen on pricey places and I doubt if my brother is interested. LOL!
DeleteNow I am missing roasted duck. Long time didn't eat roasted duck...roasted pork, my mil made not long ago.
ReplyDeleteI hardly eat roasted duck even though I love it. Your MIL is such a good cook!
DeleteThere are many roast meat shop. Just need to find one that one likes. Gamey duck meat sometimes taste like livers so I kind of like those. Siew yuk that tastes like minced meat? Would be suitable for the Elderlies then. So nice you can go Jalan Jalan at starling whenever u like. Nice!
ReplyDeleteTheir roasted duck is just all right for me. There are 2 more restaurants that sell roasted duck at Uptown.
DeleteI love roast duck. Long time haven't eaten roast duck. I prefer the breast meat.
ReplyDeleteMe too! For duck it must be the breast but when it comes to chicken, I prefer the thighs.
DeleteI visited this shop too and I won't say I was impressed by the food. Stay tune for my review ya. :)
ReplyDeleteSure, looking forward to your review!
