Forbidden Duck

A very quiet place, came here on a Friday evening and only a few of the tables had patrons. We pre-ordered half a Peking Duck, the Salted Egg Prawns, as well as a Tofu and Eggplant dish and the famous Yuzu egg tarts for dessert. The food was decent, but I wish the duck skin would have been more crispy and the egg tarts a bit more sweet. The fruit loops cereal with the salted egg prawns worked surprisingly okay. The service and ambience were excellent, but I have had better Peking duck elsewhere.

Came here for a weekday birthday celebration and the place was fairly quiet, with only a few tables occupied. The ambience was alright, comfortable enough but nothing particularly impressive. Food-wise, everything was pretty normal. The Peking duck was honestly quite average, nothing special or memorable. The roast pork was better, crispy and well seasoned, though the char siew lacked the charred aroma and flavour I was hoping for. The cucumber with dried shrimp was not too bad, with a natural savouriness from the dried shrimp. The lychee prawn was the most unique dish of the night. It had a sticky, sweet and savoury texture, definitely interesting and worth trying at least once. I also tried duck tongue for the first time. It was alright — not something I loved, but not something I disliked either. Just a neutral experience. The biggest disappointment for me was the dessert. The jelly tasted like something you could find anywhere, yet the price was surprisingly high. Overall, I feel the pricing is largely due to the location and rental, rather than the food quality itself. The dishes were okay, but nothing truly stood out enough to justify the higher prices.

We had a great dinner for three, excellent food and good value. The signature duck was perfectly crisp and juicy, served with wraps and condiments. The Foie Gras with Iberico Pork was tender with rich flavor, and the Pan Fried Cod Fish with Thick Sauce hit all the right notes with its crisp texture and balanced seasoning. For dessert, the Giant Egg Tart was a delightful finish, complemented by refillable chrysanthemum tea. Overall, the meal showcased refined flavors and excellent execution, perfect for group dinners or special occasions.

Great food and worth the price for group dinner. (3 pax) Whole Signature Duck - Textbook crispy, tender moist meat. Comes along with the buns and condiments. Get Birthday discount for this. Wagyu Beef Stir-fry - Good tender chunky beef with great a few morels Sweet and Sour Pork - Restaurant quality SnS Pork. Crispy and seasoning, meat-flour ratio etc everything is on point. Lobster Vermicelli - The great big impressive surprise of the meal, very soft flavourful lobster meat, flavourful truffle seafoody vermicelli. Eefu Noodles - Very good above average Eefu noodles. But wish portion was a bit more. Osmanthus Jelly/Gui Hua Gao - Decent soft tasty Osmanthus Jelly. There were 4 quite big pieces of it. By this time we were all very full. Mango Sago - Nice thick mango puree dessert with just the right slight sourness to balance it out. Tea - Refillable Tie Guan Yin to chat through the entire dinner.

Didn’t get to taste their Peking Duck during our patronization sometime ago, for a 2 paxs lunch. However, we were still pleased with their Dim Sum and other main dishes that we had ordered. For Dim Sum, we liked their Steamed Rice Rolls With Crispy Beancurd Skin, which is kind of unique and something that we had not eaten before, as its not found on most dim sum menu from other restaurants or stores. Both Rice Rolls and Crispy Beancurd Skin did paired well, boasting good bite texture and flavours. Next were their Deep Fried Prawn Dumpling (Crispy Skin with flavourful and Generous Prawn Paste Fillings) and Pan-Fried Turnip Cake With XO Sauce (Soft Pillowy Interior with slightly crispy exterior and delightful combo of sweet, savory flavours from the XO Sauce, as well as eggy aroma from the stir-fried egg with beansprouts. From their main menu, we ordered their Homemade Tofu With Wild Mushroom (Fried Tofu were Soft, Delicious with good bite texture and drenched with thick savory oyster sauce and hint of flavours from the Wild mushrooms). Followed by Duck Meat And Rice Noodle With Five Willow’s Sauce. It was also delicious. Rice Noodle were tender and chewy, not mushy or overly sticky… had a good balance of texture and sweet sour flavours from the Five Willow’s Sauce. Lastly, we ordered their another Duck Dish, Laksa Style Duck Meat recommended by their Service Staffs since we are unable to try their peking duck. Well, its another unique dish base on local flavours and had good balance of texture from the crunchy lettuce to the flavourful fillings. Other than their food, service rendered by their efficient and attentive service staffs, as well as the cosy ambience of the restaurant did contributed to our memorable dining experience.

Very nice restaurant that specialises in duck and Cantonese dishes. Service is polite and prompt. Food is very good

We sampled the restaurant’s signature dishes, including the black pepper beef, foie gras with iberico pork, slow cooked duck, and the laksa duck. Each dish was thoughtfully executed, with juicy, well-prepared meats and balanced flavors throughout. The signature slow cooked duck leaned a little salty for my personal taste, but it didn’t take away from the overall experience. I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for quality, flavorful dishes with a creative touch.

Best place for pao fan in Singapore - really delicious duck and seafood broth. Peking duck is yummy, and I love that it comes in a half-size portion for smaller groups. The dim sum offered during lunch is great too. We also enjoy the sweet and sour pork, lao gan ma pork collar, and handmade tofu dish. Great place for both small and bigger groups. Service by the manager is always amazing. Accepts reservations.

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.
