Sometimes I wonder how come our many excellent roast duck rice stalls, are hardly featured on the must try list for tourists .
Every neighbourhood on the island, has at least 2 stalls that specialise in this, with operators coming from as far as Kulim to tempt islanders tastebuds .
New Lane is no exception.
There are two rivals here, operating on the same street, opposite one another.
Although I prefer the younger man's juicier, more tender version, hard luck. He's sold out.
Thus here I am today, at the stall run by this older guy .
Check out the bottom left corner .
See how many duck heads there are ?
Eaten by Penangites not tourists .
My order.
Duck drumstick and breast meat $10 only for the entire plate.
Super cheap .
The thing about this older guy's version is, it is best to eat it on the spot .
Try not to take away, as the meat starts to get very greasy the longer it stays wrapped .
Where's my rice ? Who needs rice ?
Look, you're in New Lane.
Take the duck to a bowl of Curry Mee, together with not one but TWO spoonfuls of sambal, so you are guaranteed to spit fire.
Dragon breathing hot.
Extinguish the heat with a cooling bowl of Si Koh Thng
Location : Duck rice and si koh thng -entrance of Maxim Cafe, New Lane .
Curry Mee- the first stall on the right row, nearest to Maxim Cafe.
Directions : from Traders Hotel on Magazine Road, take the middle road at the intersection and heads towards Sunway Hotel Georgetown. The road is right in front of this hotel.
Chowtime : the younger man who operates from starts at 5.30pm, the older around 7pm. Both sell out in 2 or 3 hours.
