Duck King

I have been in Subang USJ for a few years now, I can say with a certain amount of confidence that there is nothing worth shouting about in Subang when it comes to food, with a few exceptions (mostly franchise based food outlets). So most people would have to travel to other places in search of good food. PJ, KL, Puchong and etc, why dont people open some decent restaurants here in USJ? I dont blame restaurateurs coz people dont seem to appreciate good food here, its the presentation that matters, from my own opinion.

But anyway, back to the topic. I was introduced to this place by Caiyin, who frequent the place quite often. So I decided to celebrate Mother’s Day there with my family. I was rather surprised to see the place, was expecting an air conditioned chicken/duck rice place coz of the name. Instead what I saw was a fairly classy place with a nice menu and uniformed waiter/waitresses to match. But because it was at night and I was placed outside of the shop, I couldnt take any decent pictures to post up here. The environment and service is fairly decent, altho sometimes when the traffic was heavy, we had to pour the tea ourselves. But no big deal.

The next thing that surprised me was the menu. They have sharks fin and abalone!! I mean heck, who would have expected a place named “Duck King” to have those. So for the dinner we ordered this spicy fried lala, tauhu with minced pork, duck (of course), and this vege… pardon me for not having any pictures and not remembering the name of the dishes. I wanted the sharks fin soup but got f*cked by my mom, waste of money she said. Man… it’s not like she’s paying for it.. I am. The duck arrived first and my, does it taste good! It has to, for obvious reason. The rest of the dishes was very good as well. And the dessert.. we had a few, just to try, the almond milk something, the kuai ling kou and a few others. The dessert was abit disappointing tho.. I had higher expectations for it after what the chefs has pulled off for dinner. It’s not bad but its not eye opening good as well. However there was this one dessert that is Faaantastic!! It was this Golden Sand pau or a.k.a Lau Sa Pau. Here’s a picture of the pau and the duck dish (got it online, hope the blogger doesnt mind)

The dinner costed my bout RM 150. Money well spent I would say.

Having tried dinner at the place, I was planning to try their dim sum as well. 2 weeks back, my family decided to visit the place again!! For dim sum this time, awesome.. we had the usual dim sum stuff; siu mai, har kau, lo mai kai and the lot, and of course the golden sand pau haha. And I have to say, I have not tried anything bad so far at this place. I would highly recommend this place.

Tonight, I brought my cousins family there to celebrate my nephew’s 8th birthday and my cousin being the food lover, ordered plenty of different stuff with no monetary constraints. We ordered Shun Hok fish, which was second only to the Golden Dragon Boat restaurant in Jalan Imbi, KL. And there was duck, siew yok, soups and the golden sand pau again haha. This stuff is so awesome I just have to have it everytime I visit the place. And so SORRY I didnt manage to get any pictures again! But I promise I will post up pictures next time.

All in all, I would recommend this place to anyone anytime. Decent pricing as well. But do book in advance for dinner and dim sum because the place would be swarmed. :-)
