Recent photos of Ah Xiao Teochew Braised Duck popping up on social media left me hungry for the dish.

And since Ah Xiao is one of the few hawkers who deliver to most areas, there was no reason for me not to satisfy my craving.

Ordering requires a little patience and work, though, as the stall does not use any delivery platforms. You have to go to its Facebook page to see the menu, which consists of braised duck, pork belly and a few add-ons such as rice and duck wings. You then WhatsApp the stall with your order and wait for a response.
