Pic1. Very Simple Cart with not much of a Decoration
Don't be fooled by the simplicity of how the cart looks. I have tried fried duck across Surabaya and there aren't any, that taste like this. As you see above, the place is quite small with only few stools available. Probably can accommodate up to 10 people. So takeaway is the best option if you are going not by yourself.
Here, you order straight away from the cart and you can choose directly which cut do you want from the huge bowl provided. You can choose either duck breast or duck leg based on what you like. If you are not into duck, here they also serve fried chicken. One portion of a fried duck or fried chicken with rice will cost you around Rp.15.000,- or around $1.1. Very cheap right!

I ordered one portion of fried duck and as always, it is served with rice, sambal (Indonesian Chili Paste) and lalapan (Mixed Fresh Vegetable). The duck is very juicy and succulent with a thin layer of crispness on the skin. The spices also blend really well with the duck. It surely gives me a flavor explosion every time time it goes through my mouth. One thing that I notice is quite different from any other fried duck dishes across Surabaya is the broth that is poured over the rice, and it is what makes the dish is special. The broth is quite heavy and taste really really good. It is not too salty and have a really balanced flavor. It mixes well with the rice and the sambal that will give you a sensational experience in your mouth.

Overall, it was a total culinary blast for me! If you are into street food and a duck dishes lover, just go here and you will not regret! However, for some people who are not really into duck dishes, you might not like this, because the duck still have a slight fishy taste to it. But for me, it does not really matter, because the flavor explosion in my mouth surely beats everything else! As usual, I provided the location of this amazing stall below. Happy Exploring!
