Siji Minfu’s Famous Peking Duck Arrives in Singapore with Jumbo Group Partnership

Beijing’s culinary gem, Siji Minfu, renowned for its succulent Peking duck and authentic Northern Chinese flavours, is set to make its international debut in Singapore through a joint venture with local dining powerhouse Jumbo Group. This exciting collaboration promises to bring the taste of Beijing’s iconic roast duck to Resorts World Sentosa, marking Siji Minfu’s first outlet outside China. Here’s everything you need to know about this highly anticipated opening.

A Taste of Beijing in Singapore

Siji Minfu, a household name in China since 2008, has built a stellar reputation with over 20 outlets across major cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Wuhan. Its Peking duck, known for its crispy skin and juicy meat, has drawn queues at iconic locations such as Wangfujing and Qianmen Streets. Now, Singaporeans and visitors alike can experience this culinary delight without boarding a plane.

The partnership with Jumbo Group, a homegrown brand celebrated for its seafood restaurants and seven outlets across China, is a perfect match. Jumbo’s expertise in delivering high-quality dining experiences complements Siji Minfu’s commitment to authentic Northern Chinese cuisine. The new restaurant, expected to open at Resorts World Sentosa, will feature a setting inspired by traditional Beijing courtyards, blending cultural charm with modern elegance.

More Than Just Peking Duck

While Siji Minfu’s Peking duck is the star attraction, the Singapore outlet promises a diverse menu showcasing Northern Chinese favourites. Diners can expect a range of dishes that highlight bold, hearty flavours, from savoury stir-fries to delicate dumplings, all crafted with the authenticity that has made Siji Minfu a favourite in China. The restaurant aims to offer a complete dining experience, perfect for family gatherings, corporate lunches, or special occasions.

Jumbo Group has hinted that the menu will go beyond the signature roast duck, ensuring there’s something for every palate. While specific offerings and prices are yet to be announced, the anticipation is high for a menu that balances tradition with innovation.

A Strategic Partnership

The joint venture, formalised through the establishment of Sijiminfu-Jumbo on 18 December 2024, represents a strategic move for both brands. For Siji Minfu, it’s an opportunity to expand its global footprint, while Jumbo Group strengthens its portfolio by introducing a renowned Chinese brand to Singapore’s competitive dining scene. Jumbo’s CEO has described the partnership as a “timely opportunity to capitalise on the growing global food and beverage sector in Singapore.”

This collaboration also highlights Jumbo’s growing influence in the region, with its existing presence in China providing a strong foundation for this venture. The new outlet at Resorts World Sentosa is poised to become a must-visit dining destination, combining Siji Minfu’s culinary expertise with Jumbo’s operational prowess.

What to Expect

Although an official opening date has not been confirmed, excitement is building for Siji Minfu’s arrival. The restaurant’s location at Resorts World Sentosa, a hub for tourists and locals alike, ensures it will attract a diverse crowd eager to savour its offerings.

Diners can look forward to a dining experience that captures the essence of Beijing’s culinary heritage, from the theatrical presentation of carving the duck tableside to the traditional accompaniments of thin pancakes, hoisin sauce, and crisp vegetables. The restaurant’s Beijing courtyard-inspired décor will add an extra layer of authenticity, making it a feast for both the palate and the eyes.

Why This Matters for Singapore’s Food Scene

Singapore’s dining landscape is no stranger to international cuisines, but the arrival of Siji Minfu adds a new dimension to the city’s Chinese dining offerings.
