It was a rainy afternoon and we chanced upon this small coffee shop along old Havelock Road while we were waiting for the rain to stop. "Shan" duck rice and noodle stall is just located at the corner of the coffeeshop, and you will definitely not miss it when you walk pass.

There were many customers eating duck rice when we were there. Wanting a hearty meal (and needed to wait for the rain to stop), we decided to try this stall after seeing the number of patrons eating their food from this stall.

We ordered the braised duck kway tiao (卤鸭粿条) dried version at $4.00 each. We were actually very amazed by the taste of the braised sauce. Slightly sweet and infused with a slight herb taste, this bowl of duck kway tiao can definitely win any heart over. It was also topped up with a generous amount of fried onion and spring onion which even further enhance the overall taste without overpowering the original taste of the duck and the kway tiao. It was in fact just nice to be a good decent bowl of duck noodle - great portion of braised duck meat given, the amount of sauce given was just nice, and the amount of kway tiao given was also definitely enough for one person . The stall owner also placed the home made Samba chilli at the side of the bowl - you can mix it together as a whole to bring up the spicy level.

Other than duck kway tiao (or duck noodle), "Shan" duck rice and noodle also serve duck rice and duck congee. The rice they serve at this stall is yam rice (black rice), which is also definitely worth a try should you visit the stall. However, do keep in mind that the duck get sold out pretty fast (usually by 5pm), so be sure to visit them early if you want to try!

All in all, "Shan" duck rice and noodle stall is a pretty decent stall that is not unfamiliar to the people staying along Havelock Road area. It is definitely a stall that you may want to visit if you want to have a no frill and a satisfying meal.
