Roast duck is a popular dish that has two variations: a Beijing style and a Cantonese style. Both are cooked with different types of oven and vary in how they are prepared and eaten. For instance, Peking duck is traditionally not stuffed, as the focus is on its original flavour, while Cantonese ducks are stuffed with a dozen Chinese herbs for tastier duck meat and bones. Just before a Cantonese-style roast duck is served, hot oil is poured over the duck for more aroma and to tighten its skin, while the Peking duck is elaborately carved with 108 cuts to separate it for three eating styles. No matter if you prefer Peking duck or Cantonese roast duck, there are many places in Singapore where you can enjoy the delicacy. Here are 20 places that celebrate the poultry!
