Our take: Cheok Kee Duck Rice has quietly built a reputation that outlasts trends — a Michelin Bib Gourmand stalwart with over 34 years of the same recipe, and a loyal following that crosses decades.
What the public consensus makes clear is that the kitchen genuinely sweats the details: the duck is sliced with precision, there's none of the gamey funk that plagues lesser stalls, and the braising sauce lands in that difficult sweet-savoury balance without tipping into salt-heavy territory.
The fragrant rice — cooked in duck broth — is a recurring highlight on its own.
Beyond the duck, the tau kwa (braised beancurd) draws consistent praise for its silky, tofu-soft texture, and the offal — gizzard, liver, pig's ear — is reportedly fresh and well-handled rather than an afterthought.
The duck meat kway teow and duck porridge are credible alternatives if you want to sidestep the signature.
Fair criticism: the 30-40 minute queue at peak lunch is real, the open-air setting gets uncomfortable at noon, and a small contingent wishes the braising sauce were more assertive.
Worth the wait for braised duck fans in the East — but arrive before noon, order the tau kwa alongside your duck rice, and skip the midday heat if you can.

What customers say
Cheok Kee Duck Rice draws consistently strong praise for its tender, well-marinated braised duck — notable for clean knife work, no gamey smell, and a savory, balanced braising sauce served over fragrant broth-cooked rice.
Side items like tau kwa (braised beancurd), tau pok, pig ears, gizzard, liver, and braised egg are frequently called out as highlights, with the homemade garlic chilli sauce earning particular enthusiasm.
The stall, located at East Coast Lagoon Food Centre and also referenced at Geylang Bahru Market & Food Centre, carries Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition and a loyal following built over decades — with longtime customers noting the recipe has remained consistent since the Macpherson days in the 1990s.
The main operational friction is queue length, with waits of 30–40 minutes reported during lunch hours, and one reviewer flagged a desire for stronger herbal aromatics in the rice.

Visited again on 15 July 2026 Added 4 photos ####### Have not ate at this stall for a decade. Used to be our go to place for duck rice and curry fish head in the 90s when they were in Macpherson. Had the braised duck with the liver and gizzard and added braised egg and pig ear. The black rice with the braised sauce brought me down memory lane. The braised duck and the other sides are still as good as in the old days. I'm so happy that they had preserved the recipe. The queue moved quite slowly but the people taking order and serving the food were polite and patient.

Had an amazing meal at 作记鸭饭鸭粥 today. Their duck meat kway teow was absolutely superb. The kway teow was smooth, silky and chewy, cooked to perfect timing. The gravy was rich, flavourful and beautifully infused with herbal goodness. The braised duck meat was incredibly tender, with all the essence fully absorbed into every bite, making the whole dish perfectly balanced. Bonus points for their homemade garlic chilli sauce — slightly sour with a spicy kick, adding another layer of texture and flavour to the dish. 真的是越吃越香，口感层次感十足！ Highly recommended for duck lovers.

My go to place in the east when I feel like having nice duck rice. The duck is tender, gizzard and liver is fresh. They have tau kwa and tau pok as well. Sauce and braised rice is flavourful. Portions are generous. Service is excellent and consistent even during busy hours. I really appreciate their dedication. Highly recommended. When packing for takeaway they will separate the braised sauce, chilli and even provide soup when you request without fuss.👍👍👍
