As the name implies, Imperial Treasure Super Peking Duck specialises in Peking duck made with traditional methods. The crispy, mahogany duck is carved at your table before being wrapped in a soft crepe, scallions, cucumber and hoisin sauce. The remaining meat can then be cooked with rice or noodles. The Peking duck is only available only at their Paragon and Asia Square branches and advanced order is required.

If you didn’t know, “xiao er” refers to the way inn waiters were called in ancient China. And at Dian Xiao Er, herbal roast duck is the star dish. There are two iterations – Ten Wonder Herbs, Wild Ginseng and Angelica Herb.

Dian Xiao Er has 14 locations in Singapore. 

Despite the name, London Fat Duck is actually a homegrown label formed between the Fei Siong Group and Akashi Group in 2015. The name is instead a nod to famous roast ducks found in London’s Chinatown.

London Fat Duck has three locations in Singapore. 

Kam’s Roast is a Michelin-starred Hong Kong restaurant known for their roasted meats, chiefly among them of course is the roast duck. Pipa Duck is another roast duck option at Kam’s, a style of roasting that flattens the bird before roasting (making it look like the Chinese pipa instrument). Spatchcocking is said to result in a crispier duck than Peking duck.
