Overview

Ever heard of Cheok Kee? Nestled at 69 Geylang Bahru, #01-35 Market & Food Centre, this hawker stall is a bit of a legend in Singapore.

Walking in, the vibe is undeniably casual – it’s a classic Chinese market with tables sprawled around a courtyard of busy stalls. The ambiance? Not fancy, but trust me, it’s all about the food here. And the food? Oh boy, it swings like a pendulum between nostalgia and comfort. Those braised duck rice dishes? They’ve got a little history, being served since 1933 by the Ong couple. That’s got to count for something, right?

People rave about the duck. The braised duck is usually soft, tender, and full of flavor. I mean, who wouldn’t love a good duck wing or that silky porridge on a rainy day? But, some folks feel like the rice could use a bit more soul – I guess it’s a bit of a mixed bag.

Sure, you’ll notice the long lines – a classic sign of good hawker food. But if you wanna grab a bite, be prepared to hang out, especially around lunchtime. Expect wait times of 30-40 minutes, but let’s be real; there’s a certain excitement in anticipation.

While the elderly auntie taking orders might have a reputation for being a tad grumpy, her cooking surely isn’t. And the prices? A steal for the value you get.

With a score of 3.6 outta 5 from 169 reviews, Cheok Kee’s got its fans and critics alike. So, if you find yourself around Geylang Bahru between 11:45 am to 6 pm, maybe give this place a shot. You might just find your new favorite duck rice.
