Local seafood restaurant Jumbo is most known for being the place to enjoy Singapore’s national dish, chilli crab. But this year, the group is expanding and dipping its hands into more pots, starting with a new Peking duck concept in Singapore.
Jumbo will be bringing Beijing’s famous Peking duck chain, Siji Minfu, to Resorts World Sentosa. While an official opening date has not been confirmed, this announcement follows a slew of news regarding exciting launches in Sentosa this year, including international F&B brands like Pierre Herme and Standard Bread at Resorts World Sentosa, as well as the new luxury hotel Raffles Sentosa Singapore.
Siji Minfu’s claim to fame is its Beijing roast duck, which is carved tableside. But aside from the signature dish, the chain also doles out plates of traditional Northern Chinese cuisine, including zhajiang mian (noodles with stir-fried pork and soybean paste) and luzhu huoshao (pork innard soup served with flatbread).
This partnership brings together two prominent F&B brands. Not many might know, but homegrown restaurant Jumbo also has seven outlets across China, including in Beijing, Shanghai, and Wuhan.
Meanwhile, Siji Minfu has been operating since 2008 and now has over 20 outlets across China’s major cities. Some of its more prominent locations include Wangfujing Street – a renowned shopping street in Dongcheng, Beijing – and Qianmen Street, which is south of Tiananmen Square. The new outlet in Resorts World Sentosa will be the brand’s first international outpost.
Watch this space for updates on the official opening date of Siji Minfu Singapore, as well as menu offerings and prices.
