Teochew braised duck and kway chap specialist at Chinatown Complex
Jin Ji Teochew Braised Duck and Kway Chap is a Teochew-style hawker stall at Chinatown Complex Food Centre, specialising in the traditional Teochew preparation of braised duck and its accompaniment, kway chap. The stall braises whole ducks in a master stock of soy sauce, aromatic spices, and herbs, producing tender meat with a deeply savoury, fragrant coating. The kway chap consists of flat rice noodles served in the same braising broth, accompanied by an array of offal and braised items including pig intestines, tau kwa, and eggs. Jin Ji has been serving the Chinatown community from its #02-156 location, maintaining the traditional Teochew approach that emphasises clean, refined flavours over the heavy seasoning found in some other braised meat preparations. The stall has garnered a loyal following for its consistent quality and the care taken in maintaining its braising stock, which deepens in flavour over time. Jin Ji represents the proud tradition of Teochew braised meats in Singapore's hawker landscape, where dialect-group cuisines continue to thrive.Operating Hours

Had a $5 plate of duck rice and topped up duck liver and pig skin for an additional $2. The liver is cut thin which is quite strange because it doesn't offer a full mouthfeel. It's a little tough too. Pig skin is nicely braised and soft. …

First time trying this stall. They are tucked at the side of the complex. For $9.50, I got a bowl of kway chap, a plate of braised duck with the kway chap ingredients; they are well braised & the portions are just right. They sell separately as well. For those who like both worlds, try this stall.

Came as a family for dinner and we ordered from multiple stores for a mix of food. Thus ordered some duck portion and a mixed bento set just to try since I read about this stall. Teochew braised duck in general is lighter in dark sauce …
