Peking duck with a view: Imperial Treasure opens Super Peking Duck at Changi Jewel

Where can you find the best Peking duck in Singapore? The answer will differ from person to person, but there’s a high chance that the name “Imperial Treasure Super Peking Duck” will be one of the most common ones thrown out.

The restaurant is part of the Imperial Treasure group of restaurants, known for its exquisite Chinese concepts, which have been awarded multiple Michelin stars in various cities, ranging from Shanghai to Singapore.

This is the third Imperial Treasure Super Peking Duck, with the other two outlets located at Paragon and Asia Square.

This outlet sits up to 95 guests and boasts three private rooms, including a 10-seater with a stunning view of the HSBC Rain Vortex — maybe an idea for a family celebration or business lunch in the future?

Do note that the private room requires reservation and a minimum spend of at least S$280 per diner.

Besides the Peking duck concept, the Chinese-restaurant group has also opened  sister concept Treasures Yi Dian Xin right beside it, which provides a more casual dim-sum dining alternative.

Fun fact: These two are the only Imperial Treasure concepts in the East!

The best Peking duck?

So what should you order at Imperial Treasure Super Peking Duck? 

The answer is obvious, but the signature Peking duck (S$138) requires an advance order — don’t forget!

Freshly carved up for you, the restaurant’s rendition of this classic features rich, juicy meat and ridiculously thin and crunchy skin. As good as Peking duck gets in Singapore.

It’s even better when you enjoy it wrapped up in a soft pancake skin and adorned with sauce and scallions!

Another signature that’s strongly recommended is the marble goby “Soon Hock” fish fillet with crispy rice (S$13 per 100g), which is like a paofan — just without your usual white rice. 

The dish is a wonderful triple threat of addictively crunchy crispy rice, super comforting soup and soft, tender fish. We couldn’t get enough of this.

Regulars of the group would also know that different restaurants have their own secret off-menu items (these require pre-ordering) and Jewel Changi’s Imperial Treasure Super Peking Duck is no different.

Here, the Australian lobster (seasonal price/100g, +S$40 for an additional way of cooking) can be prepared in two unique methods.

Those who enjoy a bit of spice have to order the braised beancurd with Australian lobster in spicy “ma po” sauce.

Unlike your usual ma po tofu, the restaurant’s rendition is a touch more luxurious as it’s loaded up with morsels of silky and bouncy lobster. 

It’s slightly numbing, but the spice level is manageable, even for those who can’t take too much spice — a perfect dish to be eaten with a bowl of fragrant rice!

Another off-menu dish at Changi Jewel’s Imperial Treasure Super Peking Duck is the braised winter melon with lobster meat, which comes with a more wholesome and elegant profile.

Collagen rich and mellowly sweet, it’s a bit like a thickened fish maw soup, while the remarkably soft winter melon reminds us of oden-style daikon.

On the desserts end, Imperial Treasure Super Peking Duck’s walnut cream (S$9) was a surprise runaway hit.

Often, the almond and walnut pastes at Chinese dessert stores can taste too artificial, but this bowl is just brimming with the lush natural nuttiness of walnut.

Very creamy, very heartwarming, very nostalgic — one of the best we’ve had.

So the next time you’re planning a family outing, why not consider a meal with good Peking duck, good dessert, a slew of unique off-menu items and a stunning view in the private room?
