Pun Chun Duck Drumstick Noodle @ Bidor, Perak: More Than Just Duck Drumstick

Pun Chun Chicken Biscuits and Restaurant @ Bidor, tourist attraction in this small town.

Not many people will know about Bidor town if not for some great foods available in this small town. Previously, I'd written about my favorite nasi kandar at Bidor (read: Noordin Nasi Kandar @ Bidor, Perak: Amazingly delicious, concentrated, spicy chili!). In this entry, I want to introduce another specialty food that can be found in Bidor, duck drumstick noodle @ Pun Chun Noodle House.

Pun Chun's signboard

'Industrial' size kitchen churning out bowls and bowls of noodles, non-stop.

This noodle house spans 2 shop lots, side by side; one selling special biscuits, eg. Kai Chai Peng (chicken biscuit), etc. The other shop sells the famous duck drumstick noodles and other types of noodles, wan tan mee, BBQ pork mee, shredded chicken with mushroom mee, dry curry mee, dry curry pork rib mee and chicken feet mushroom mee. There are also stalls selling economy rice, chicken/ roasted pork rice and siew pau and egg tarts in it.

Menu and price lists. How much is duck drumstick noodle? RM7

Of course, I came to try out their famed duck drumstick noodle. How was it?

Close-up photo. The duck was steamed until soft and tender but unfortunately, this also cause the duck meat to become tasteless too because all the taste dissipated to the soup instead of otherwise. I was expecting the 'herbs' soup to be absorbed by the duck meat but the opposite happened. Why? My hypothesis: Well, this is bound to happen if they ONLY put in one or two slices of herbs (and have the guts to call it herbs soup!). With the soup having less taste than the duck, the equilibrium will mean that the duck taste will go outwards instead of the herbs taste being absorbed by the duck meat.

Closer photo shot. Drank all the soup with all the taste, leaving the tasteless duck drumstick and noodle.

Tips:
Try it once, just once (at least until they improve their duck drumstick noodle)
Try all other foods available here, which I think taste better than duck drumstick noodle.


Tasty Or Not?
Rating 4.5/10. Flavorful soup but tasteless duck meat. I might as well order the noodle plus soup, minus the duck drumstick and pay less.
