Obama’s Bun Cha Pho

Chiefeater Jaimy Yee had Vietnamese food for dinner at Obama’s Bun Cha in Tanjung Tokong


Roast Duck, Noodles
Lunch at MW Signature in Taman Bukit Indah was built around a whole Signature Roasted Duck, supported by a few classic sides: Garlic Oyster Sauce Iceberg Lettuce, Emperor’s Dish – Sour & Spicy Mustard and a bowl of Minced Meat Noodles infused with lard. We also tried the Duck Century Egg with Ginger and a simple Garlic Rice, plus drinks.

The duck arrived nicely chopped, with glossy skin and a pool of jus on the plate. The spread felt very “family lunch on a weekend” – roast, a vegetable, a claypot-style soup and noodles to fill up on.
The roasted duck had crisp skin with a pleasant bite, and the meat was moist, but the flavour profile leaned mild. This is the less gamey style of duck, which will suit those who dislike stronger “duckiness”. Personally, I prefer a bolder duck flavour, but the texture and skin were enjoyable. Maybe I missed having this with a bottle of red.

The lettuce in garlic oyster sauce delivered exactly what you expect: soft, slightly wilted leaves soaking up sauce, with fried garlic adding crunch.

The sour and spicy mustard soup brought some warmth and tang, carrying that preserved-vegetable edge that you either love or skip. I found the soup not sour enough.

The duck century egg with ginger with a runny yolk was a nice supporting act for those who enjoy that creamy, alkaline richness.

The surprise winner was the lard-topped noodles. Springy noodles, minced meat, and crunchy lard cubes came together in a simple but deeply satisfying bowl. Even on its own, it would make a very good one-plate meal. I would not have needed the duck.

The white coffee was pretty good too.

M – Meal Value
Good value for a whole duck at this price point, with nicely crisp skin and a very satisfying lard noodle dish that stands out. Flavour on the duck is on the mild side, which may feel a little safe if you like strongly flavoured roast meats.
Score: 7.8 / 10
V – Vibe & Venue
Typical modern Chinese roast house setting – bright, busy and family-friendly. Service is efficient enough, and it feels like the sort of place you drop by for a straightforward roast meal rather than a drawn-out occasion.
Score: 7.6 / 10
X – X-Factor
The lard-topped noodles. It is one of those “simple but hits the spot” bowls that you could happily come back for without ordering anything else.
Score: 8.4 / 10
