16 January 2011: Uncle Duck (得哥火锅餐厅) is my must visit place whenever I go to Times Square. It is located at 3rd floor, few lots next to Golden Screen Cinema and directly opposite Secret Recipe.

The duck rice set there is my favourite, tasty and economical. However, Uncle Duck actually focuses mainly on steamboat, which offers more than 5 different types of soup (I forgot exactly how many types). Their steamboat sets (individual pot) are not bad as well. However, I'm not ordering steamboat this round. I was looking for quick and light lunch.

A set of duck rice is RM6.90++. It comes with roast duck, rice, sauce and ribena (normally I request to change this to soup). Chinese tea is free of charge here. The skin of roast duck is crispy while the flesh is tasty and tender. The sauce also goes very well with the roast duck. The roast duck rice set here is really value for money. However, the portion is not that big, and might not be enough for big-eater, especially guys.

Mango Sago (RM6++) at Uncle Duck is my another favourite. It's the best I had so far in Kuala Lumpur. Definitely better than those at famous Kei Tak Sek (记得食). First of all, the mango cubes are fresh and sweet. The mango ice-blended also has fresh mango taste inside out, from top till bottom of the bowl. It's not like those at other dessert shops where the mango sauce only covers the top part, while bottom is plain blended ice with sugar water. Although it's not cheap, I think it's worth the price.

There's also another restaurant called Hong Kong Food Culture (港饮港食) in Low Yat Plaza. It's under the same management with Uncle Duck. Both serves similar range of food. The only difference between the two is that Hong Kong Food Culture doesn't serve steamboat.
