Legendary braised duck and pig skin at Ming Fa Duck Rice.
Ming Fa Duck Rice at Hainanese Village Centre is a legendary hawker stall famous for its braised duck rice alongside equally celebrated braised pig skin and ikan bilis chilli, a combination so popular that regulars queue early. Operating only around five hours a day, this stall frequently sells out, a testament to its devoted following and the quality of its braised offerings.
The menu centres on braised duck rice with options to add braised pig skin, braised peanuts, and ikan bilis chilli, each element contributing to a dish greater than the sum of its parts. Service options include dine-in, takeaway, delivery. Ming Fa is a destination for hawker heritage seekers and anyone who appreciates the art of Chinese braising done with decades of mastery.
Arrive early at Ming Fa Duck Rice before the queue clears them out, and savour a plate of braised perfection that defines Hainanese Village Centre. Rare hours, exceptional taste.

$4 vs $5 portion. I always add on the pig skin, it's soooo good and interestingly the plate still costs the same (maybe they give less duck meat). Aunty is also very friendly, she definitely knows her regulars. Unfortunately the soup ran …

One of the best duck rice I've eaten in Singapore. Their homemade sambal chilli is superb. They also provide very nice salted vegetables soup if you dine in. Their duck rice is very nice a cheap. …

My family's favourite braised duck rice stall. The Ikan bilis sambal chili is to die for. Wanted to buy extra portion of sambal chili from them but they don't sell it. Very delicious and big portion. Big chunks of duck meat and no gamey taste at all.
