Borneo Duck Roast (鸭之家) - Penampang
Personally visited by Sabah Discovery
Visited in 2026
The tender, juicy and fatty roast duck was our clear favourite at Borneo Duck Roast. The Hakka noodles were generous but a little salty for us, while the yellow-wine Tuaran noodles had a milder wine flavour than we expected.
We had ordered roast duck from Borneo Duck Roast through GrabFood before. This time, being nearby gave us a reason to sit down for a meal at the Penampang outlet near Servay, rather than have it delivered.
Our orders included Roast Duck Bun, Hakka Noodles and Signature Roast Duck Tuaran Noodles. We also tried the Hakka yellow-wine option. The different ways of serving the meal gave us more to try, but the roast duck itself was the clear favourite.
We liked the meat for being tender, juicy and flavourful. It also had a fatty richness that was very much part of its appeal to us. This is a preference worth keeping clear: our enthusiasm is for duck on the fattier, tender side. Someone looking for very lean or dry meat may want a different balance.
The Roast Duck Bun was decent and straightforward. It was not the item that stood out most; the duck itself was what we kept coming back to in thinking about the meal.
The Hakka noodles came with generous noodles and toppings. We appreciated that, although the seasoning was slightly salty for our taste. The portion and the saltiness were both part of the experience, rather than one cancelling the other out.
The Hakka yellow-wine Tuaran noodles had a mild wine flavour. We felt that made this version approachable even for someone who does not usually enjoy a strong wine taste, though that remains our impression rather than a promise for every palate.
For a return order, the roast duck would remain the main draw. The tender meat and rich, juicy character were the reasons we enjoyed it most.
中文点评
鸭之家的烧鸭是这次最喜欢的，嫩、多汁，油香也足。客家面分量和配料大方，不过对我们来说稍咸；黄酒斗亚兰面的酒味则比较温和。
以前我们通过 GrabFood 点过鸭之家的烧鸭。这次刚好在附近，就到 Penampang Servay 一带的店里坐下来吃，换一个堂食的方式再试。
这餐点了烧鸭包、客家面、招牌烧鸭斗亚兰面，也有客家黄酒汤的搭配。吃法有几种，但整餐最喜欢的，还是烧鸭本身。
鸭肉嫩、多汁，味道也够，油香和丰腴感是我们特别喜欢的部分。这个喜好要讲清楚：我们喜欢的是偏嫩、带油脂的烧鸭。如果想吃非常瘦、比较干身的鸭肉，可能会有不同感受。
烧鸭包表现不错，属于简单直接的选择，不过不是这一餐最突出的主角。真正让我们记住的，还是鸭肉的口感和香味。
客家面的面量和配料蛮大方，这点有加分。可惜调味对我们来说稍咸，所以分量的优点和口味上的保留都要一起说。
黄酒斗亚兰面的酒味则比较轻。我们觉得，即使平时不喜欢太浓酒味的人，也可能比较容易接受，但这只是自己的感受，并不是每个人都会有相同喜好的保证。
如果再点一次，烧鸭依然会是重点。嫩滑的肉质、油香和多汁感，才是这次最明确的回头理由。

Sabah Discovery’s Take
The standout
Tender, fatty roast duck
The roast duck was our clear favourite for its tender, juicy meat and fatty richness. Hakka noodles were generous but slightly salty for us; the yellow-wine flavour was mild.
