The Best Peking Ducks in Singapore That Made Me Quack in Delight
Lately, I’ve been dreaming about Peking duck—most probably as a result of my Chinese New Year celebrations. The mouthwatering aroma, crispy skin, and juicy meat paired with spring onions and sweet bean sauce—ahh, my stomach’s grumbling!
I love to eat it for special celebrations, so I’ve tried my fair share of restaurants. These are my favourite ones that cure my cravings quickly!

Eating Peking duck in an elegant setting is the experience, and one restaurant I like to go to when I’m in the mood for this is Imperial Treasure Super Peking Duck. Here, the chef brings the duck to you and slices it right before your eyes.
I love that the duck is roasted to perfection, so it has that delectable crispy skin. It also tastes smoky, which complements the meat’s savoury and umami flavours.
I recommend putting the meat slices in a thick pancake, top it with scallions and chilli oil, and then eat the whole thing in one bite. A spicy-savory perfection!
Pro Tips:
- Their Peking duck requires advance order. You can do it via phone.
- This restaurant has a membership program that lets you enjoy fun perks like free Peking ducks!
Jiang-Nan Chun

Operating Hours: Monday to Sunday—11:30 am to 2:30 pm, 6 pm to 10:30 pm
Contact Number: +6568317653
Website
Jiang-Nan Chun goes all out in its aesthetics; its interior design evokes the pastoral lifestyle of the traditional river villages in the Jiang Nan region. Every time I come to dine here, I always feel at peace.
Another reason why I love this place is that they serve one of the most delicious Peking ducks I’ve ever tasted. The chefs here use mesquite-wood-fired ovens to cook the duck, and the result is a wonderful charred flavour for the meat and absolutely crispy skin.
For the utmost indulgence, your Peking duck comes with chilled caviar. The saltiness of the caviar truly brings the savoury dish to a whole new level.
Pro Tip:
Host a private dinner here with your loved ones. All the rooms are gorgeous, and they include amenities like leather seats and 65-inch flat-screen TVs. To reserve, contact the restaurant via this number +6567341110.
London Fat Duck

My friend described the Peking duck served at London Fat Duck as “the Wagyu of ducks,” so of course, I had to try it for myself. And now, I understand why she used that description.
This restaurant uses Irish ducks and a Hong Kong-style roasting technique, and I can taste the difference even though it’s really subtle. The meat is juicier and tender than other Peking ducks I’ve tried, and the skin is extra charred and crispy.
The only downside is that it doesn’t come with many sauce options, but it’s okay because it tastes great on its own.
Pro Tip:
To ensure your spot, book a reservation ahead of time.

Tucked away in an industrial centre, Yi Qian Private Dining is a hidden gem serving traditional Cantonese and Teochew fare. The crowd favourite here is the Peking duck, of course.
The duck has a crackling skin that’s so crispy, it’s so satisfying to bite into. The tender meat oozes with savoury and umami flavours, and the hoisin sauce adds salty and sweet notes that elevate every bite.
Pro Tip:

Authentic Chinese cuisine with modern innovations—that’s what TungLok XiHé specialises in. There are so many dishes I love from this Orchard restaurant, but my ultimate favourite is undoubtedly the Peking duck.
The Peking duck here is served with a blueberry sauce and a “Popping Rocks” dip. The savoury flavours of the meat complement the sweetness of the sauce, and the dip creates a sizzling experience in my mouth. I’m obsessed!

Located inside one of the most popular luxurious hotels in Singapore, Jade is dripping with prestige. The colour palette boasts the lustre of jade, its namesake gem, a specially commissioned wallpaper, and a gorgeous overhead lantern.
The Peking duck is another reason why I love this restaurant. Their take here includes a caramelised orange peel, so the duck meat is sweet and savoury. To make it even tastier, I eat the meat with cucumber and yellow bean sauce wrapped in a pancake. Yum!

At Ming Jian, you can treat yourself to authentic Sichuan and Cantonese cuisine in an elegant setting. It’s also located amidst the luscious greens of Dempsey Hill, making it a perfect spot for a relaxing brunch.
What I love about the Peking duck here is that I can enjoy it in two ways. First, I dip the duck skin and meat in a sweet sauce with sliced leek and cucumbers. This is honestly so good—the sweet and savoury combo is top-notch—that I’m sure I can finish the whole duck by myself!
For the second serving, I get the remaining duck meat cooked in a vegetable soup. It’s super hearty and comforting—the perfect way to end the meal.
Pro Tip:
To reserve your spot, you can send your request via email ([email protected]) or contact the restaurant via phone.

Contact Number: +6565098767
Website
Forbidden Duck is a restaurant brand by celebrity chef Alvin Leung, who currently holds three Michelin stars and is one of the judges on MasterChef Canada. So, when I heard that he was opening a restaurant in Singapore, I was ecstatic, of course.
The duck here is slow-roasted, so the meat is incredibly tender and succulent. A mouth-watering smokiness lingers as well, a flavour that pairs well with the savoury, umami sauce.
Pro Tips:
- On your birthday, you can enjoy a special promotion that lets you order a Peking duck for half-off!
- This is a popular restaurant, so it gets booked pretty fast. I recommend reserving your spot in advance.

- Monday to Friday—11:30 am to 3:30 pm, 6 pm to 11 pm
- Saturday and Sunday—6 pm to 11 pm
Contact Number: +6562504826
Website
Kai Garden is another restaurant helmed by a popular chef (Chef Fung Chi Keung). So, you can expect great Chinese and Cantonese food here.
The Peking duck is the signature dish here, and it comes with different types of wraps and five unique sauces, which I love. Yay for more options!
I love to experiment with the wrap-and-sauce combo, but the one I keep coming back to is the bamboo charcoal wrap and the black pepper and sesame sauce. This combo enhances the charred, savoury flavour of the meat, and adds a pop of smoky, peppery, and nutty notes to every bite.
Pro Tips:
- Reserve your spot by sending a request to [email protected].
- If you want to host an event here, it’s best that you contact the restaurant via phone.
Mott 32 Singapore
From: mott32sg

- Friday and Saturday—11:30 am to 3:45 pm, 5 pm to 11 pm
Contact Number: +6566889922
Website
Mott 32 is an award-winning restaurant in Hong Kong, so I was delighted to hear that it was coming to Singapore. I was even more delighted when I heard Peking duck is part of the menu.
Their Peking duck is roasted using applewood, so the meat has a subtle sweetness to it that I like. I love to pair the pieces with cucumber, raw sugar, and hoisin sauce in a thinly wrapped pancake, and the result is something savoury with a deep sweetness that sneaks up on me.
Pro Tips:
- Their Peking ducks are limited in quantity due to their time-intensive preparation process, so pre-order them. You just have to call the restaurant.
- Call the restaurant if you want to book a room for a private dinner. If your group has more than 20 members, then you have to fill out this form.
Lao Beijing
From: laobeijingsg
Address: 10 Sinaran Dr, #02-80 Square 2
Operating Hours:
- Monday to Friday—11 am to 3 pm, 6 pm to 10 pm
- Saturday and Sunday—11 am to 5 pm, 6 pm to 10 pm
Contact Number: +6563584466
Website
Lao Beijing has been a staple in Novena since 1996, and I can see why that’s the case. This restaurant serves classic Chinese delicacies, and that includes an amazing rendition of Peking duck.
The Peking duck here tends to be fattier than the ones in other restaurants, and I like that because it’s even more flavourful and juicier.
The duck skin is also served with kiwi slices and dollops of raspberry jam. At first, I was skeptical about this combination, but to my surprise, it actually worked. The tangy, fruity flavor elevates the duck’s savory, umami profile.
Pro Tip:
Book your reservation ahead of time so that you won’t have to wait a long time before being seated.
Crystal Jade Golden Palace
From: crystaljadesg
Address: 290 Orchard Rd, #05 – 22 Paragon Shopping Center

Website
Whenever I’m craving Chinese cuisine, Crystal Jade is one of my go-to spots because it offers a great variety of options—from dim sum to seasonal treats like mooncakes. They also have Peking duck, which is absolutely scrumptious.
Their Peking duck is roasted using lychee branches, so it has a floral aroma and a mellow sweetness that gets overshadowed by the strong salty and savoury notes. I also love that the meat isn’t too greasy; I can devour large chunks without feeling sick of the dish!
Pro Tips:
- You can host a special event here.
- Join their Jadeite membership program so that you can enjoy perks like cashback and vouchers.
