I would say the food is average to decent. Not that bad after all. I stay around the area so I do drop by once in a while for a quick lunch. …

Teochew braised duck specialist at Lau Pa Sat
Swatow Bai Le is a Teochew braised duck stall at Lau Pa Sat, carrying on the tradition of Shantou-style lor mee and braised meats. The stall is known for its braised duck, steeped in a master stock infused with a secret blend of herbs and spices that imparts a deep, savoury flavour and a characteristic dark hue. Alongside the duck, the menu features braised pork belly, tofu, and eggs, all cooked in the same aromatic broth and served with rice or noodles. The Teochew braising technique, which traces its origins to Swatow (Shantou) in Guangdong, relies on a carefully maintained lor sauce that deepens in complexity over time. Swatow Bai Le brings this heritage to the historic Lau Pa Sat food centre, offering office workers and visitors a taste of traditional Teochew comfort food in the heart of the financial district.Based on 104 Google reviews

Value for money. Braised duck is tender and flavourful. I like that they do sell kuey teow kia (thin rice noodle), which is popular in JB. Nice comfort food.

The braise soup / sauce are actually quite traditional and decent, found the meat slight tough but overall with all the sides it’s really quite decent. The Kuay Chap is surprisingly good

They ran out of the chap set so I got duck noodles. It was a few small slices of braised duck + braiding liquid+lots of noodles. Underwhelmed

Nice duck noodles (dry) and kway chap. The duck meat was nice and tender. Prices are very reasonable. However, seating capacity were limited.
