Irish Peking Duck Takes Centre Stage at Wan Hao Chinese Restaurant
Wan Hao Chinese Restaurant has launched a new set menu featuring its signature Roast Irish Peking Duck, priced from $118.80++ per person. This limited-time menu combines traditional Cantonese cooking methods with premium ingredients like Irish duck and African abalone.
The restaurant’s take on this classic dish uses premium Irish duck, which is air-dried overnight to create its crispy skin before roasting. Served with warm Chinese crêpes, the duck comes with a signature sauce that has been perfected over 15 years.
The set menu showcases the versatility of the duck through several dishes. After enjoying the crispy skin wrapped in soft pancakes, diners can taste the meat in two additional preparations. One standout dish is the Braised African 5-Head Abalone with Irish Duck Meat, featuring diced vegetables and crispy conpoy in wok-fried Japanese pearl rice. The duck also appears in a Szechuan Hot and Sour Soup with assorted dried seafood, where the meat adds depth to a creamy broth simmered for over four hours.

Soi Thai Soi Nice Revamps Menu with Thai-Teochew Specialties
Soi Thai Soi Nice, established in 2016, has refreshed its signature Royal Thai Fish Head Hotpot alongside several authentic Thai-Teochew offerings that showcase the culinary influence of Teochew migrants in Thailand. The menu refresh aims to introduce Singaporeans to the nuanced flavours of Thai-Teochew cuisine, showcasing the historical influence of Teochew merchants known as Royal Chinese (Jin-Luang) in Bangkok’s Samphanthawong District.
The revamped Royal Thai Fish Head Hotpot ($43.80++) features a soup base meticulously prepared with fish bones, yam, Chinese celery, and lala, available in clear broth or tom yum options. New menu highlights include Jellied Pork Trotters ($11.90++), a rare delicacy with origins in Shantou, China, featuring slow-cooked pork skin in a smooth, jellied texture served with tangy chili sauce. Another addition, the Dancing Prawn in Steamed Egg ($26.90++), combines silky steamed egg with minced pork and fresh prawns that appear to “dance” when served hot.
The restaurant is also offering a 50% discount on select dishes for diners who spend at least $30, including Thai Style Steamed Seabass ($36.90++) and Claypot Prawn Vermicelli ($18.90++).
