Forbidden Duck

Food: 🌝🌝🌝🌝🌜 Service: 🌝🌝🌝🌝🌝 Ambience: 🌝🌝🌝🌝🌝 The Green Dragon Chives elevated the shrimp CCF, and the Steamed Chicken with Mui Choy in Lotus Leaf was an interesting dish reminding one of chwee kueh. The Chinese Gourd was a clear standout dish. The dishes were a tad salty for us but overall it was an enjoyable dining experience.

It’s extremely understaffed, and staff was not very polite in general. Nothing they did wrong, just lack hospitality training. The food was very average and I got sick from their iced water. That means there’s an hygiene issue to be honest. They also put yuzu in almost all their food even it is not a good match. The duck sauce was just frankly bizarre, the sourness in the sauce just doesn’t complement the savory sauce, nor did it improve the taste of the egg tarts. The egg tart is also wayyyy too big. The standard portion is to have the best ratio between pastry and cream - making it giant doesn’t make it better. Given the restaurant name (Forbidden *Duck*), I suppose the duck should be their signature dish. It was just not good. A good peking duck has very crispy skin, it just simply doesn’t. The taste was also just so so. One thing I quite like was the sweet and sour pork. Interesting choice to replace pineapple with lychee. It doesn’t make it too bad. (Thank god they didn’t add yuzu in it) The wasabi cucumber was also a pretty good choice.

I loved this restaurant ! We got the banquet which was absolutely delicious, if you decide to order from menu you must get the Peking duck and the egg tart that you have to pre-order in advance !

Loved their duck, tofu, char siew and egg tarts. Nice place and near the Marina Bay Sands. Private rooms are also available for guests who are hosting parties, with a minimum spend. The staff were friendly and quite helpful, although the men's washroom was small and wasn't particularly clean.

Food was delish especially the duck. However for a half size order, its a pretty small portion. Place is really understaffed. Staff are however friendly & patient.

Came here with my husband to celebrate his bday and we were so satisfied with our dinner. Everything tasted so good 💯💯 will be back again for it's Peking Duck 🦆 Prawns are also very nicely deshelled, large and fresh if you like it this way. I think the chicken with almond nuts was a bit disappointing because too much nuts and overpower the lemon sauce 🤔🤔

Nice cosy setting with good chinese food. I went there for the signature duck offered due to birthday promotion. The food exceeded my expectations. My children enjoyed the duck and EE-fu noodles most. Egg tart had a refreshing twist at the end, with some orangy/yuzu taste.

[Mar 2024] We might have found the best duck in town here at Forbidden Duck! The signature duck is tender, bursting with robust flavours. It’s perfect on its own, but you can also elevate it with the varied condiments that came with the dish. The pan fried carrot cake that we got (available only for lunch) is also highly recommended. Service is prompt and top-notch. [Update in Mar 2024: Visited restaurant with fam again for dinner. The ambience at night is definitely better, food were as tasty, but the duck this time was not as tender and juicy. For birthday celebrants, they offer 50% discount for whole duck (min spend $80 for other items).]

Came here based on watching the food channel and seeing Chef Alvin Leung. We were seated promptly as we glad reservations. We ordered one dumpling, 2 meat dishes and 1 vegetable dish. The dumpling was okay. The crispy pork Belly was excellent, nice, juicy and crispy skin. Then Duck was okay as we had better ones. The garlic gai lan was just standard. Service was okay. Surprised they did not provide cut fruits or fortune cookie after our meal. There are other places we will try.

Food was not impressive. Their signature Duck was sliced in the back and no presentation was given. We ordered the Salt and Pepper Squid as an appetizer that came out after our main was served. Squid was very thick with breading and not crispy at all. Overall service was good. The main eating area was very nicely decorated but the bathrooms were sub par. Would not come back if I was in Singapore again.

Good food and good service. We ordered the signature duck which came with calamansi infused buns to eat with the tender duck. The prawns were also excellent as was the eggplant. I wasn't as big a fan of the goose liver with pork. The egg tart was nice although it wasn't as special as I'd expect since we had to pre-order. The yuzu balanced the sweetness of the egg custard and the pastry was nice and flakey. Pity about the crab which also had to be pre-ordered to ensure freshness and we didn't do so.

All the dim sum dishes were very good and i lived in hk for three years. I've also lived in beijing for two year and felt the bj duck here could hold its own against a good bj roast duck restaurant in beijing. The beef and pork dishes were nice. The vegetables and soup were also great. The only slight let down was the lobster. The flavor and texture of this dish were not up to par with the lobster served at good cantonese restaurants.

Innovative cooking, with unique dishes that you either love or hate. The signature dishes should all be tried. The slow roast duck is juicy with a variety of textures showing through the thick-cut pieces of meat; however, the yellow pancakes wrapping the duck is too thick in my opinion. The lobster vermicelli with black truffle is also scrumptious - fragrant and flavourful. The salted egg prawns are delicious, but one should avoid the accompanying cereals with fruit salad - truly questionable taste! For me, the stars are the seafood crispy rice in duck soup (absolutely delightful), and to a lesser extent the giant egg tart with a touch of yuzu.
