Rustic Duck Rice in Raub

This is not the best duck rice in the planet but it certainly is a very satisfying one. It is one of those "must do" places in Raub if you ever go there to join the weekend "jalan-jalan cari makan" horde of local tourists. One warning though, they sell out way before noon and so it is actually quite difficult to get anything from the stall if we follow the city schedule of eating lunch.

The stall is located in Kampong Bukit Koman (gold mining village) right at the edge of the small stream that passes by the village and sells principally rice and noodles with roast duck and char siew (barbecued pork). On the side, there are also the usual poached eggs and pig intestines in dark soya sauce as well as authentic Yong Tau Foo (stuffed Tau Foo). Their soup, sold separately, is intense, dark, herbal and very rustic. A good strong bodied soup for those who has the liking for such things...

 Poached eggs and intestines are offered too, with rice or noodles.

Raison d’ĂȘtre of the stall - their plump and rustic ducks well roasted with crispy skin and a very nice fermented bean paste sauce.
