My hokkien Lor Ark


Mr Hoby was servicing his car at the south side and since it is far away from our place, I asked him to do some marketing for me. He was so proud that he bought me a free-range duck! Ha..we usually only see free-range chicken in the supermarket but hardly see any free-range duck, so quite excited. Other than finding something different, he was very proud that he got it cheaper than other marts. So househusband! Muacks him! 

So, in celebration of this little "victory", I decided to do Lor Ark. Now, it may sound like a huge task, but other than cutting away the backside and chopping away the head, the rest is simple! 

The ingredients are just dark soya sauce, five spice powder and a mixture of fried garlic, shallot and ginger! 

And how can Lor Ark do without Lor Nen? I really love the taste of the eggs soaked in dark soya sauce! Yumzzz....




That night, we had 2 other friends who came and enjoyed this lovely duck with us! One of them even ate 3 eggs! Wooo.... 




It was a lovely night with small do-ups like the daisy flowers and mosiac candle that really made the dishes taste even better!

Hey Jocelyn,
We bought it from this chinese butcher near to Yuen's at Sunnybank plaza. All ducks are frozen though but its rare to find a free range duck eh?
