In all honesty, I was never a huge fan of duck until I ate at Madam Heng's. Restaurant Hong Kong was merely another name in my litany of must-visit restaurants for the Perak Good Food Guide, which I was commissioned to write in 2008.
It was lust at first bite - the juicy-fleshed, crispy-skinned duck was simply otherworldly.
Since then, I've been a regular visitor, if not to eat, then just to drop by and shoot the breeze with the amiable auntie who runs the shop.
This story took a while to crystallize. It really is a tapestry of numerous events that seemed random and unconnected and unimportant save for their entertainment value, until the final piece - that dinner that I didn't want to happen but happened anyway - fell into place.
Unanticipated. That's how they all happen right - whether it's the right moment, the right story or the right person? :)

To give you an inkling just how good her roast duck is ...
By the way, credits to Wang Shao Ming for the "I am fine, you are fine, we are fine" photo. My bad for forgetting to submit your name, no fault of The Star. Roast duck on me, ya? ;)

I love the crispy duck at Magic Wok (D'sara Jaya) and there's a kopitiam that serves really good roast duck (minus the gamey taste) at D'sara Uptown. The latter one is also popular for Hokkien mee.
Ooh, thanks for the tip Mei Teng. Am in Uptown quite often, so will check it out :)
I'm a big fan of braised duck in SS2 Chow Yang. But currently i got knee pain and was told by singseh tat i cannot take any duck meat at all... i was so devastated....
A ban on duck? That's tragic :(
But a little bit from time to time won't hurt, perhaps?
