#1 Duck Noodles Sungai Pinang 

Juxtaposed with the Sungai Pinang Honda Showroom, there is a brimming street lined up with one of the best breakfasts galore on the island. It’s a joy to be spoilt with choices and among the pleasure pillars is the Duck Noodles stall, which has a striking red board and hordes of patrons. The noodles used are mee suah, which has a milder and silky texture, binding well with the herbal base soup that has the perfect symmetry of sweet and savory. A slab of duck drumstick, wolfberries, and a tinge of Angelica Sinensis, or female ginseng completes the delightful bowl. You can also opt for chicken or pork for meat and egg noodles or vermicelli.

#2 Kimberly Restaurant 

Sited on Kimberly Street, this restaurant is a little pilgrimage for pork and duck devotees. It’s habitually teeming with customers, who just crave for the kueh chap, duck porridge, and duck noodles. Chunks of meats are arranged like undulating mountains, and if the duck is your pick, it will be dunked into a sizzling herbal broth and stacked with layers of meaty goodness. The broth is oh-so-worth-it, which justifies the 30 years of their secret family recipe that speaks out loud at each mouthful, feel free to imbibe it down.  Moreover, their side of bright red chili dipping sauce just kicks it with a dose of heat.
