We were sceptical at first but discovered that the added avocado adds creaminess while the beancurd skin offers a crisp crunch to the duck. They elevated the dish’s texture.
Expertly carved table-side, the duck delivers a crispy yet light meat with a melt-in-your-mouth texture and a thin layer of juicy fat.
Pro-tip: Another must-try here is the unique siew mai (dumpling) with truffle where the truffle enhances the flavour impeccably.

We love its signature crispy sugar-coated Peking duck bun. This unique rendition is filled with bits of Peking duck in a sweet char-siew marinade and served in an inky black bun made with charcoal.
Pro-tip: Don’t miss the truffle siew mai with quail egg. It’s incredibly moist, and the yolk of the egg oozes like lava.

The captivating aroma of the Peking duck is achieved through 14 hours of roasting! You can enjoy the crispy skin on its own, enhanced with a touch of sugar and a generous caviar serving.
