The acclaimed Beijing-born restaurant celebrates its first anniversary at Resorts World Sentosa by spotlighting the signature dishes that built its legendary reputation.
When Peking Chamber opened its doors in Singapore one year ago, it brought with it the weight of a legacy forged in the Chinese capital. Now, the outpost at Weave in Resorts World Sentosa is marking the milestone not with novelty, but with a renewed focus on the classics that made it a household name in Beijing. The restaurant has unveiled a refreshed menu that doubles down on four signature classics and six must-order dishes—each one a testament to the culinary precision that has earned the brand a spot on Dianping’s Must-Eat List for nine consecutive years.
A Cult Following Born in Beijing
Founded in 2008 near the Forbidden City, Peking Chamber quickly became one of China’s most sought-after dining destinations. The flagship location is notorious for wait times that can stretch up to five hours—a testament to its enduring popularity. Today, the brand operates more than two dozen outlets across Beijing and Shanghai, cementing its status as a powerhouse in Chinese fine dining.
The Anniversary Menu: Classics, Not Novelties
Rather than introducing new dishes for its first anniversary, Peking Chamber Singapore is leaning into the recipes that earned it cult status. The refreshed lineup features four signature classics and six must-order dishes, all designed to transport diners straight to the heart of Beijing.
Start with the Roasted Tender Duck
No visit is complete without the restaurant’s famed roasted tender duck ($68 for half, $118 for whole). Each bird is air-dried before being roasted over fruitwood in a traditional hanging oven, resulting in crackling skin and succulent meat. Diners can enjoy it multiple ways: dipping the skin in white sugar, wrapping slices in pancakes with sweet bean sauce, or adding a fruity twist with imported begonia plum sauce from Beijing.
Four Signature Classics
The refreshed menu highlights four dishes that have defined Peking Chamber’s identity:
- Prime stewed assorted treasure seafood – a luxurious medley of premium ocean ingredients
- Braised sea cucumber with scallion ($68 per person) – a rich, umami-forward dish
- Selected grilled lamb with scallion ($45) – served in a copper vessel imported from Beijing
- Stir-fried 3A Wagyu with scallion – a decadent take on a classic stir-fry
Six Must-Order Dishes
Beyond the signature classics, the restaurant is also spotlighting six dishes that have become fan favorites:
- Mixed bean sprout with sauce ($19)
- Seafood medley of jellyfish head, shrimp, and octopus ($39)
- Crispy deep-fried shrimp with honey sauce ($39 for six pieces)
- Pan-fried lamb sauce with vegetable sauce
- Sweet and sour sauce marble goby
- Stewed crispy pork with vegetables and vermicelli
Don’t Miss the Beijing Classics
Beyond the anniversary lineup, guests should save room for Beijing’s beloved zhajiang noodles ($12)—a hearty bowl of hand-pulled noodles topped with fermented soybean paste and pork. For dessert, the Beijing-style snacks platter ($38) offers five traditional handmade pastries, including Lüdagun, Aiwowo, and Pea Flour Cake, providing a sweet finish that nods to the capital’s street-food heritage.
What This Means for Singapore’s Dining Scene
Peking Chamber’s first-year milestone underscores a broader trend: Singapore’s appetite for authentic, region-specific Chinese cuisine continues to grow. By focusing on the dishes that built its reputation—rather than chasing trends—the restaurant is betting that consistency and quality will win over local palates. For diners who haven’t yet experienced the five-hour queues of the original Beijing location, this anniversary menu offers a shortcut to the same cult-status flavors.
