Kai Duck | Affordable Peking Duck & Dim Sum at Ngee Ann City Backed By Kai Garden

Media Tasting at Kai Duck

It may be challenging to find good and affordable Cantonese-style Peking duck in Singapore. Kai Duck, by Kai Garden, serves a reviving interpretation of dishes made from the eponymous Cantonese-style Peking duck and dim sum at affordable prices. Walk into Kai Duck is like walking into a new Cantonese casual 60s cha chaan teng restaurant dressed in colonial Hong Kong at Ngee Ann City. Kai Duck is helmed by Group Executive Chef Fung Chi Keung, the same person behind Kai Garden. Chef Fung not only oversees the menu and kitchens of both Kai Duck and Kai Garden, and also over 30 years of experience as a chef in Hong Kong and Singapore.

These stacked layers of crackers, vegetables, sliced peking duck skin in homemade sauce. A different layer of crunch found in this dish! Thin and crispy skin was so good that you feel like having another piece. I also love the little burnt on my peking duck skin. Pssst, the cracker and sauce are handmade from scratch!

Shattering thin peking duck skin with light cream cheese and crispy mantou. If you’re wondering, both mantou and cream cheese are made in-house.

I would like to give a big thumbs up to this creation! Peking duck skin is served with succulent peking meat, crunchy cucumber and lettuce topped with Japanese sesame sauce and seaweed flakes, all wrapped in a crispy spring roll wrapper. These handrolls are placed onto test tube alike holder that reminds us of the days where we had science lessons!
