Malaysia will be halting its export of chickens to Singapore come June 1, 2022.

While Singapore still has plenty of chickens (albeit frozen ones), this could mean a lack of supply for one of Singapore's most iconic dishes, chicken rice.

If your favourite chicken rice stall is planning to close for a bit, well, here are 10 popular duck rice stalls to check out instead.

1. Heng Gi Goose and Duck Rice

Located in Tekka Food Centre is Heng Gi Goose and Duck Rice.
