Yay! I've found a new way to enjoy duck besides Peking duck. Yes, I normally do not like duck (tastes like chicken that's had too many a cigar and not enough baths). Anyway, this is the most excellent duck leg confit at CaffeBar (yes, that open cafe at Parkway Parade).
The crispy skin yields easily to reveal the tender, salty meat. Kinda reminds me of Schweinshaxe (crispy pork knuckle). Well, I'm glad I tried it, and I will quite happily have it again.

Utterly unusual, and by the sounds of your review, divine too! ;)
ReplyDeletehow much do they charge for their duck confit?
ReplyDeleteThere are not many places serving duck and this is indeed a new and refreshing way of serving it...
ReplyDeleteI'm like you - don't like duck but really like Duck Confit. Try the one at Gourmet Plus at Frankel.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with your description of normal ducks which do not have enuff baths...kekekekeke
ReplyDeletethat what I always tell my family and friends when they tried to ask me to eat ducks...
Wow that is definitely crispy! It looks fabulous ... and anything served with fries is a plus in my book! :D
ReplyDeleteOH OH OH! the name of caffebar is so familiar, i think i saw it on one of my rare visits to parkway parade. haha how much is it? crispy duck leg confit eh? only had the "normal" way, can't imagine how this will taste like. heh
ReplyDeleteI'm not a duck confit fan- I like my duck smelling like it just had a cigar bath, ha ha. Seriously though the picture looks good but I prefer my duck braised.
ReplyDeleteDid they have any sauce to go with the duck confit?
ReplyDeleteWow, I didn't figure this one-dish post would garner so many comments! lol
ReplyDeleteThe duck leg confit is now S$22.80++ (used to be S$19.80++ some years back).
Esther: thanks for the tip on Gourmet Plus.
LIC: whua, you are literally a "xi ke" ('western'/rare visitor). Come again to Parkway and try! I know you like duck!
BBO: No, they didn't. I don't think it needed any though. Nyum!
oohhhh.. the duck leg confit looks delish! im so gonna try it.. partway is my favourite hangout.. hahaha! try the one at blue urban oasis at century square!! its delish too.. its got TWO duck legs and deliciously moreish mashed potatoes at 18.90 with 10% discount with UOB or.. 1 person dines free with 3 paying diners!
ReplyDeleteMy fiance LOVES duck, especially Peking Duck! I think it's all about the fatty crispy skin and the shrimp chips that come with it. This duck confit looks amazing too!
ReplyDeletecaffebar is one of my favourite places... they do some good pastas and fish dishes. quality very consistent over the years (:
ReplyDeleteI like this place too. The pastas and breads that they serve are pretty good. Coffee's nice too!
ReplyDeleteStudents with valid student cards get special meal deals too...
It's the worse duck leg confit I've ever eaten... their minestrone too... all the four mains we ordered were utterly disappointing... tried once & will never return to Caffebar again
