Modern Peking Duck

The latest addition to Vivocity's Basement 2 food galleria that has got aunties and uncles queuing up to check out what the fuss is about. During peak periods here at Modern Peking Duck, you'll never see a moment of rest as the staff deftly chop up Peking duck and roast meat.

Modern Peking Duck's got an outlet at Ion Orchard too, but judging by the vast array of food sold there, I didn't manage to check it out on previous visits.

I ordered a box of five Peking duck rolls ($6) which were freshly assembled on the spot. The staff pluck a shiny roasted duck off the rack, chop it up into small pieces and place them on top of egg crepes. Finish them off with a refreshing slice of cucumber and a dollop of hoisin sauce... the masses can now sample Peking duck without going to a restaurant.

Someone who had placed his order beforehand was waiting to choose the best part of the duck, so I suppose what you get depends on your luck.

Overall, I was pretty satisfied with these convenient little rolls, each packing a balance of tender duck, tasty sauce and cucumber to cut the richness (though the duck is not oily!). I wish I could get thicker slices of the duck though!
