This braised duck recipe is cooked in coconut nectar or called locally as “tuba”. Tuba is usually fermented to became wine in most provinces and it is also good as an ingredient for cooking. You can use any varieties of ducks whether it is the “pato” or Muscovy duck or the native duck called “itik”. Since native ducks are small compared to the Muscovy ducks, you can use two dressed “itik” because a single “itik” won’t weigh 3/4 kilo each.
