Yummy roasts from Singapore!
One must-have activity for my foreign guests when they visit Singapore is to go Geylang (a red-light district) to visit my favourite chicken and duck stall. I'm referring to edible barbequed birds.
The Chinese refers to a hooker as 'Chicken' and a gigolo, 'Duck'. lol .... er.... some of the guys do request for the the other version. :P
I have never eaten a Bishop's Nose (chicken backside). It's too gruesome for me..... but the guys wiped out all the chicken backsides that night ewww......
Chef carving a Peking Duck
Another yummy way of serving a duck is the famous Peking Duck dish. The Peking Duck is traditionally carved in front of the diners. The thin, crispy skin is eaten with pancakes, spring onions, and sweet bean sauce. The remaining meat and bones may be made into a soup.
Bird Flu!? I just have to eat less birds......

Your foreign guests are lucky to have you as a host. :)
ReplyDeleteHehehe bishop's nose is too gruesome for me too!
ReplyDeleteI love Peking duck! Ooooo yummy. Don't eat them that often though. :D
ReplyDeleteI love to eat Bishop'nose(chicken backside). So shiok!!
ReplyDelete"chicken" for hooker and "duck" for a gigolo! LOL that is hilarious! i am sure many "innocents" have made the mistake of ordering chicken or duck.:p
ReplyDeleteChicken backside is oily leh....
ReplyDeleteBut I love Peking Duck ;p
I mean the edible birds and not the humans : )
ReplyDeleteI eat every part of a chicken except chicken's feet! Don't like chicken's feet!
ReplyDeleteECL! how's yah? dropping by!
ReplyDeleteAll so tasty ECL. Never eaten Parson's nose (as we call it)... Never felt the urge! Happy weekend
ReplyDeletePoor bird. But yes! They are yummy! ;p
ReplyDeleteI Love Peking Duck. the crispiness of the skin and the tasty sweet sauce. it's the best. I can imagine that you have the best crispy duck in Singapore; as I've read that the food is simply the best anywhere.
ReplyDeleteChicken and duck are all very well but my favorite roast meats actually are goose and pigeon! ;b
ReplyDelete(Oh, and FYI, apparently "ngor" (goose) is now Cantonese slang for a sex worker with both male and female clients!!!!!)
Never eaten a "nose", not planning too :)
ReplyDeleteTasty post, ECL, have a wonderful weekend!! Happy PH ...!
Bird
Trust you to have this for your bird post. Yummy. I love peking duck too.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend to you.
i love the wings..
ReplyDeletePeking Duck is one of my favourite dishes. You've made my mouth water and my stomach rumble. :)
ReplyDeleteEcl- Happy-weekend!
ReplyDeleteI didn't think of dead birds! Peking Duck - mmmmmmmm Yummy
ReplyDeleteThere could be confusion in the red light district when wanting a chicken or duck.
ReplyDeleteHooker and gigolo? Very funny, ECL!
ReplyDeleteI love chicken backside. Esp those fried ones i ate in a western stall^^
ReplyDeleteSorry I am so late in commenting on your PH post. Great take on the bird theme. I was almost at wits end trying to think of something to post! Couldn't get out to take pics of live birds. You solved the challenge in an original manner.
ReplyDeleteYou make me hungry! I would not mind having a plate of chicken or Peking duck right now. It's a quarter past three in the morning. (The only time I can write undisturbed!)
Take care!
Anna
what a funny way to refer to the chic & duck! hehe!
ReplyDeleteRE Ausetkmt,
ReplyDeleteWe have a few restaurants in Singapore which serve a truly yummy Peking Duck (expensive too).
I love eating Peking Duck but seldom do that in Singapore because it is expensive.
We have lots of yummy local dishes in Singapore, most are not expensive. Come and taste them!
Tekkaus,
ReplyDeleteThey are meant to be eaten.
Eat less, now ducks getting more costly.
Hello Gagay!
ReplyDeleteNice to see you again!
I drop in at your place often.
jams,
ReplyDeleteTasty bird. :)
I presume if there are tasty parts to eat, one would not think of eating the Parson's Nose. :P
foongpc,
ReplyDeleteNot every one finds the other version of the chicken and duck yummy. :P
I like steamed chicken feet! Some friends do find eating such things gross. hehe....
tigerfish,
ReplyDeleteI don't know much about the chicken backsides because I have never tried one. :P
I love Peking Duck too!
OMG!! Stanley!
ReplyDeleteI have never tried it and will never try it.
Lina,
ReplyDeletePeking Duck is so delicious! Especially one from Beijing. Oh, the taste is so heavenly!
No chicken backside or any other backside for my meals!
oceanskies,
ReplyDeleteFor those who truly want to experience Singapore, they appreciate my efforts. But I try to accommodate their requests because some of them rarely have a chance to travel overseas.
Luna,
ReplyDeleteYes, there were some hilarious moments, especially in a red-light district. :)
YTSL,
ReplyDeleteIt's not common to find roast goose or pigeon here in Singapore. I enjoy both roasted versions of these birds when I was in Hong Kong. The taste is so unforgettable!
OMG, I didn't know ngor is for a sex worker with both male and female clients!!! Cannot say 'I want ngor' when I'm in HK liao. :D
jmb,
ReplyDeletehehe.... I always have creative posts for the weekly PH theme.
Mar,
ReplyDeleteLike you, I have never eaten a nose.... and will never eat one too. hahaha.....
Chris,
ReplyDeleteThe chickens and ducks - Dead or alive, they are still birds. :)
Capt Picard,
ReplyDeleteChaos.
When you are with the Chinese community, please don't call for a chicken or duck. hahaha....
wenn,
ReplyDeleteI love the wings and thighs of both birds and chicken feet.
A.
ReplyDeleteI think Peking Duck is the favourite dish of most people who have eaten it. It's such a tasty dish!
Hi Kelvin,
ReplyDeleteYou would probably love the wide selection of chicken backsides done in many ways in China. :P
Gran,
ReplyDeleteIt's the common slang in our Chinese community. :P
Hi Anna,
ReplyDeleteYou have a pretty creative post too, showing the pretty birds which would look lovely in homes or gardens.
Thanks for sharing. Happy photo hunting!
Ayie,
