You heard us right – the Peking duck has made its way into our local hawker scene! Helmed by award-winning chefs Yong Bing Ngen and Yang Lai Fatt from the Majestic Group of restaurants, the newly opened Majestic Peking Duck stall at Makansutra Gluttons Bay is dishing out restaurant quality fare at economical hawker prices. Gone are the days when you require special occasions to indulge in this plate of 5-star goodness.
They’ve got five different versions of a duck dish, but the stall’s highlight is definitely the Duck Platter. For just $24, you get the exact same thing you would expect from reputable Chinese restaurants at just half the price. We reckon it’s the best GSS (Great Singapore Sale) deal for our food-loving nation. The duck is roasted in a classic Apollo oven to achieve its crispy, charred skin and succulent interior.
We know that BBQ chicken wings are an all-time favourite street food, basically a must-have at every hawker centre. However, if you’re here at Makansutra, skip the usual chicken wings and try something new. The Honey Glazed Roasted Duck Wings, for instance, is a sweet alternative.
This Duck Salad makes the perfect snack or a side dish to share. Here we’ve got a hearty mix of greens tossed in umami laden sauce and truffle oil, topped with a generous serving of sliced duck meat.
The Salted Duck Vegetable Soup is a traditional favourite. The peppery broth is boiled with preserved veggies for a flavoursome, homely taste that is served with a whole duck wing.
Fans of fried rice, the Duck Fried Rice with Crispy Cereal is calling out for you.
This is a bonus treat at Majestic Peking Duck. We know it’s not a duck dish, but the Crispy Soft Shell Crab with Thai Mango Salad is so divine that the chefs had to include this in their menu as well.
Major props to the Majestic group for bringing this delectable Chinese delicacy into our hawker scene without compromising an ounce of quality. Now we can get the best of both worlds – our humble hawker fare alongside restaurant-standard Peking duck, all without breaking the bank.
