MY BATAM GASTRONOMIC ADVENTURE - FRIED DUCK FOR LUNCH

26th JANUARY 2020 ~ The only time I would eat duck meat was when I traveled to Indonesia. Back home, duck was kind of rare and you could not get it easily like chicken.

It tasted just like chicken but the meat was slightly tougher and the texture coarser.

The name of the restaurant we went to was Bebek Goreng H. Slamet (Asli) [translated: fried duck restaurant original]. I wonder if there was another restaurant trying to use the same name. By the way, the eating place was clean and should be popular. We had lunch quite late that afternoon but there were still some people eating when we arrived. The place to go if you want to try duck for once.

JOGJA GASTRONOMIC ADVENTURE - MY FIRST TIME EATING DUCK AT "CAK KOTING" RESTAURANT

There will always be a first time.

And I had my first duck, fried, in Jogjakarta.

We were taken to this restaurant called Cak Koting, which specialized in fried duck. My verdict: it tasted just like chicken but the meat was tougher and the texture a bit rougher.

Other than that, the restaurant also served a special vegetable dish which was young papaya leaves which did not have the bitter after-taste.

I guess I will not eat duck meat again for a long, long time after this. Duck is not a popular menu among the Malay community here.
