Named after herself, this eatery is certainly not new but it’s a hidden gem waiting to be discovered. ?

The whole idea was inspired by their Chinese Muslim friend who was looking for authentic halal roast duck. After much research, they realized that there was a demand for halal roast duck and they decided to join a cooking class with a chef who specialised in roast duck dishes. After months of figuring out the recipe, they finally opened Norazlina Chong Restaurant!

According to Norazlina, roast duck is one of the world’s most complex foods – both in terms of preparation and its flavour. ?

The duck has to go through an intricate cutting process and marinated with various Chinese spices and herbs. The duck is then showered with hot water and vinegar to caramelise the skin and give it a flavour. The final process involves the duck being left to dry for a minimum of 8 hours! ?
