Last year, I even celebrated my birthday at the Grand Duck King restaurant which located in Grand Indonesia Mall in Central Jakarta.
Last week, my friend who is living in Singapore; came to visit and we had a very nice lunch at one of the Duck King restaurants that is located at Pondok Indah Mall 2 in South Jakarta.
Our lunch started with dim sum as appetizer.
Fried prawns wanton with mayonnaise - Rp. 15.800.
Nice crunchy with tasty filling.
Nice crunchy with tasty filling.
Steamed Hakau - Rp. 16.800
The filling of prawns was so juicy and flavorful.
Steamed Siew Mai - Rp. 15.800
Wonderful meaty!
Wonderful meaty!
Steamed chicken feet with black pepper - Rp. 14.800
It's spicy and a bit chewy.... yummy!
Then the main course followed the dim sum.
A plate of dry Hong Kong Noodle with wanton - Rp. 32.000
Frankly speaking, I hardly eat dry version noodles. After a few bites, I found out that I like the springy texture. Next time, definitely, I will order it again :)
Eating at The Duck King restaurant wouldn't be complete without a plate of roasted duck. Love the roasted duck! The crispy skin and juicy tender meat of the duck was just heavenly.
Braised Tou Miaw with dried scallop and oyster sauce - Rp. 58.000
A good way of cooking the tou miaw vegetable, as the gravy enriched the taste.
So many delicious food for just 2 hungry stomachs which was so fulfilling and we almost couldn't finish it. Still, we didn't forget to order the dessert :) My friend and I shared together a little bowl of longan fruit with almond tofu sago "Mei Lo" - Rp. 25.000

Here we also have Duck King. No wonder people are telling me that the Duck King is from Indonesia. But not sure if it's the same. lol
ReplyDeleteMmm, everything looks delicious! (Though I'm not a big fan of chicken feet. The texture freaks me out.)
ReplyDeleteFP: Is the logo the same? ;)
ReplyDeletemica: hahahaha... this is the only way of chicken feet that I can eat, the rest like chicken feet in soup also freak me out :D
Everything looks yummy. Chicken feet used to freak me out as well but now the only feet I eat are those served in dim sum restaurants.
ReplyDeletejo: same.. same with me :D
ReplyDeletethere is one duck king in PJ area, Msia. heard that it's very expensive!!!
ReplyDeleteai wei: Actually, the prices in the Duck King's Jakarta can also be considered as very expensive too :)

ReplyDeleteI love dim sum, and the duck looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteI also love the Duck King. I think that I only visited this restaurant once. I was mostly frequenting Sushi Tei when I was in Jakarta a few years ago. Should visit the Duck King more often when I am in Jakarta again...!
ReplyDeleteMost of the food (menu in Bahasa Indonesia, too)served in Duck King, Malaysia are similar to Indonesia but the logo are different-maybe of franchising problems-anyway, the food looks delicious.
ReplyDeletethe duck really looks good...and so the the dessert...made me yearn for duck for lunch LOL!

The branch here in Kl almost always has a queue but doubt it serves dimsum. And very non-halal since they serve lard rice which I heart.
