Get your (Peking) duck on at these top restaurants in Singapore – without hopping on a flight to Beijing.
Who doesn’t love Peking duck? Thin slices of succulent duck meat with crispy skin, wrapped in rice flour crepes with sliced cucumber, spring onion, and a slather of sweet hoisin sauce. It’s crunchy on the first bite, followed by a lingering tenderness and flavour. That’s why this dish deserves its title as China’s national delicacy. So you wanna dig into it? Well, you don’t have to hop on a plane to Beijing – here are the best Chinese restaurants in Singapore to get your (Peking) duck on.
Where to find the best Peking duck in Singapore
1. Mott 32

This award-winning restaurant in Marina Bay is celebrated for many things, one of which is its signature Peking duck dish. The meat is smoked with dried apple wood before being served with freshly steamed pancakes, thinly sliced cucumber and scallions, and house-made special hoisin sauce. Peking duck also makes an appearance in salads and spring rolls on the menu. Truly duck-adent.

2. Forbidden Duck

You know we’ll go right ahead and say this, right? There’s nothing forbidden about this restaurant – not when it’s dishing out one of the best Peking ducks in Singapore. And that’s thanks to Michelin-starred chef Alvin Leung, who presents a modern take on the Chinese delicacy. This results in two creations: a classic version and one where a dry-aged duck is slow-cooked and roasted to crisp the skin. While you’re at it, get the crispy roast pork belly. Crunchy duck and pork, what a delicious combo.

3. Crown Prince Kitchenette
Unlike the other establishments on our list, Crown Prince is all about Malaysian zi char cuisine. Interestingly, Peking roast duck makes an appearance on the menu too, and these folks have nailed the crispy skin and tender meat combo. Plus points for its welcoming ambience – a perfect setting for all types of gatherings.

4. Kai Garden

We thought we’d seen everything when chef Fung Chi Keung put his technicolour spin on xiao long baos at Paradise Dynasty. Now the owner of his own Cantonese restaurant, the culinary figure has tossed in a kaleidoscopic twist on Peking duck. Expect five different wraps (pumpkin, charcoal, spinach, beetroot and traditional) and dipping sauces (sesame, black pepper, prawn and crab, mixed and traditional) jazzing up the flavours that come with this crispy, succulent delicacy. A good pick for family gatherings, if you ask us!
Kai Garden, #03-128A/B, Marina Square, 6 Raffles Boulevard, Singapore 039594
5. Imperial Treasure Super Peking Duck Restaurant

Besides a host of other concept outlets, this renowned restaurant group has established a specialty restaurant honouring the prized Peking dish. It’s prepared by skilled chefs from Beijing, who are dedicated to preserving centuries-old methods of the Emperor’s imperial kitchen. The duck is roasted to perfection and served whole before being sliced in front of your eyes. No meat is left to waste: the remainder can be returned to the kitchen and made into (complimentary) duck floss.

6. Spring Court

Officially the oldest Chinese restaurant in Singapore, Spring Court is a household name amongst connoisseurs of Chinese cuisine. Founded by Ho Loke Yee back in 1929, this culinary establishment has hopped across different locations (including Chinatown and East Coast) before settling in its current space, which takes up four shophouses and seats 650 diners. The Peking duck here is one of the establishment’s classics – a recipe tried and tested across three generations.

7. Tung Lok Peking Duck

This snazzy restaurant boasts a chic, contemporary interior and an open kitchen concept. Here, you can watch chefs skilfully roast Irish duck Peking-style in a fire-brick oven. Diners can expect an authentic rendition of the roasted delicacy served with unusual condiments, like blueberry sauce and lemon pop rocks, for a modern twist. Imagine crispy skin with sweet sauces… heaven.

8. Yan

Boasting an elegant menu and a prime rooftop location that attracts locals and visitors, Yan at the National Gallery Singapore is the perfect spot for Cantonese fine dining. We love the salt-baked whole free-range chicken, poached star grouper fish fillet with prawn stock and crispy rice, and its signature Peking duck served with homemade crepes and traditional garnishes.

9. Si Chuan Dou Hua

With two outlets in Singapore, Si Chuan Dou Hua gets two thumbs up for spreading the Peking duck love. Our vote goes to the Raffles Place branch, which offers a superb panorama of our cityscape alongside its crispy, succulent duck. The homemade thick sweet sauce is a real standout and perfectly complements the wrapped duck with spring onions and cucumber.

10. Min Jiang
Sichuan and Cantonese cuisine in a lavish setting? That’s what you’ll get at this brand’s Dempsey outlet. Its house specialty is, obviously, the Beijing duck, which is roasted between 45 minutes to an hour before it’s served with crepes. Any leftover meat can be stir-fried, eaten with lettuce wraps, or tossed in a salted vegetable soup. One fascinating item we spotted on the menu is a crispy mock duck version. Good news for the vegetarians!

11. Hua Ting Restaurant

Helmed by Hong Kong masterchef Lap Fai, Hua Ting Restaurant honours its Cantonese cuisine roots and takes fine dining for oriental palates to great new heights. Besides serving a veritable spread of traditional dim sum, this eatery dishes out a mean version of the classic Peking duck. The friendly staff will ask you how you’d like your meat served and you can request any leftover duck to be cooked with other dishes.

12. Wan Hao Chinese Restaurant

A crowd favourite for Peking duck in Singapore, Wan Hao Chinese Restaurant is approved for family dinners and business lunches alike. Don’t be intimidated if you’re looking for a dinner for two – private booths are available for smaller parties. Every service staff member is trained to slice and serve the duck, so you can expect impeccable service worth every penny.
