Overall, Salted Duck is almost like a rare commodity in Singapore.
Benson serves excellent salted ducks - both the white and black versions. Tender, juicy, savoury. Tastes and feels smooth in the mouth. It's quite a pleasure.
Personally, I didn’t take to the salted duck like a duck to water. It is a novelty, something to try, but now that I’ve tried it, I can Elsa it. If we return, we would probably order a serving of the smoked duck and then order most of the food from the nameless chicken rice stall beside it.
i made salted duck 盐水鸭 ( i called it spiced duck since it is a 风味鸭). but benson’s is supremely good!
It’s quite nice really, though yellow chives still sweeter & more tender, but this was quite ok.
the lor items 鲁味 were ok though not stand outs, competent i guess.
Besides the salted duck, I like Benson's pork organ (with fish maw) soup and especially the flavoursome duck porridge splashed with dark braising stock. I think that the duck porridge and salted duck go perfectly together.
