One of Imperial Treasure's Singapore branches specialising in duck
Imperial Treasure is a small chain of mainly Chinese cuisine restaurants, which began in Singapore in 2004 as one restaurant in the ION Orchard (a shopping mall next to Orchard Tower). There are now 14 branches in Singapore, several spread around Korea, Hong Kong and mainland China as well as one branch in Paris and London. The original branch at the ION Orchard is the only holder of a Michelin star showcasing Teochew cuisine (Eastern region of Chinese cuisine using generally superior ingredients and with a lighter approach). If you are interested in Peking duck however, this is the one to head to! The duck was superb quality as were the supporting (and expensive) sides and I couldn’t tell much difference between this and that had at the 2 Michelin starred Yi Ling Court, the flagship restaurant at the Peninsula in Shanghai. Then again, the grading in Shanghai did appear quite generous. Nevertheless, this was hands down one of the best Peking ducks had on record and I would simply head here for this dish alone with their sumptuous and not overly thick, home made plum sauce.
Food Grade: 81%
My hobby-turned-passion began to evolve during my assignments to London where I was fortunate enough to be able to explore all the Michelin starred restaurants in my spare time and as a result, I gradually built up a catalogue of all these venues.
