Editor’s Note

Last updated 29 May 2026

Our take: House of Braised Duck appears to be a polarizing hawker stall, with strong opinions on both its food and service.

We note a recurring theme of customer dissatisfaction with the stall's service, specifically the demeanor of the person taking orders, described as 'standoffish' and 'not the friendliest'.

This seems to be a consistent experience for many, overshadowing the food for some patrons.

However, those who appreciate the braised duck itself often praise its nostalgic taste, with one reviewer likening it to the braised duck of the 80s.

The duck meat noodles dry, priced at $4, are highlighted, with commendations for the accompanying citrusy and dried chilli sauces.

The soup is noted for being savory rather than herbal, and the chilli oil, with its distinct dried shrimp taste, also receives positive mentions.

Portions, particularly for kway teow and duck, are sometimes perceived as small, especially for larger orders.

We think this stall is best for those who prioritize traditional braised duck flavors and are willing to overlook potential service issues.

It's a reliable option for a quick, affordable meal if you're in the Novena area, but not a destination for a pleasant dining experience.

What customers say

House of Braised Duck receives mixed reviews, with a significant portion of customers praising the nostalgic taste of their braised duck and homemade sambal chilli, particularly the duck meat noodles and the savoury soup.

However, consistent complaints about rude and standoffish service from stall staff, particularly the taller person taking orders, significantly detract from the dining experience.

Portions are also a recurring concern, with some finding them small for the price, though the taste of the braised duck and chilli is generally well-regarded.

Agree that the (taller) person taking the orders is not the friendliest at the hawker centre. I look past that, focusing on getting a serving of their tasty braised duck meat :-) My usual order is du…

Standards have indeed dropped at this place. I usually like to support hawkers but not when food standards as well as service standards have dropped. It’s now just an ok braised duck stall for me. I…

For a place that sells ‘开心鸭饭‘ (happy duck rice) the people tending the stall are totally not ‘开心’ at all serving you. At least the poor service was consistent to everyone else in the queue. Food is…

I must say this stall has a lot of haters for having such a low rating. Why bring in roast duck to compare when it’s all braised here? Don’t rate if you don’t know how braised ducks taste in the olden…

Came here on Sat morning but disappointed that my favourite Nasi lemak stall was closed. Guess the owners were taking a break. Decided on a whim to go for this braised duck stall without reading revi…
