Braised Duck

Finally had chance to braise duck. Bought a duck and had it slaughtered half so I can try braising them. Grandma’s fav and also mine, Hub will only eat if its what he likes so its a real challenge to try it on my own. 

I braised it like how I usually did for my pork trotters but added cinnamon sticks and star anise. Today’s version seems ok, but lack a bit of ‘kiam-ness’ and the meat was tender and shiok. Totally almost nail it except to have to increase the dark soy sauce amount. Added some hard boiled eggs and chicken feet to braised too! Yums and I toss the chicken feet with some mala sauce for that Ommph! 

Anyone else love chicken feets like I do? ❤️❤️
