At Forbidden Duck, you can enjoy their duck in two ways. The classic Peking duck, also known as Forbidden Duck ($48++/$78++) features a thin, crispy skin over succulent duck meat. Alternatively, you can opt for the Signature Slow Roasted Duck ($58++/$88++), which is slow-cooked to preserve its natural flavour and juiciness. The duck is then roasted on high heat for a short time, resulting in a crispy, seared skin and tender meat.

If you’re a fan of roasted meat, don’t miss out on their Iberico Pork Char Siew ($36++), which boasts thick slices of char siew with a perfect balance of sweet and savoury. Pair your char siew with their Crispy Roast Pork Belly ($15++), which is well-known for its crackling skin and succulent fat.
