1. Si Chuan Dou Hua
Make your way to Si Chuan Dou Hua and indulge in unlimited servings of flavourful Peking duck with its Deep Duck Secrets set menus. Highlights of the menu include Ipoh hor fun soup with shredded duck meat and preserved vegetables; traditional braised duck with ginger and preserved bean curd; and ‘chong qing’ diced chicken with mala dried chilli. The latter is a crowd favourite and consists of juicy chicken chunks deep-fried to golden brown and stir-fried with chilli, for an additional spice kick.
Of course, the star of the show is the roasted Peking duck prepared by roast master chef Meng Xue You. Here, the poultry is first cleaned and scorched in boiling water, tightening the poultry’s skin before it is splashed with maltose and air-dried for four hours. When it’s ready, the duck is then roasted until golden brown and skilfully carved by chef Meng himself. Available from now until May 31. Book here.
