Peking Duck in Three Acts: A Sneak Peek at K by Vicky Cheng

Chef Vicky Cheng presents the iconic roast duck as a layered experience that moves between Cantonese tradition and Thai sensibility

High above the city on the 56th floor of EA Rooftop at The Empire, K by Vicky Cheng is preparing to unveil a new signature that speaks to both craft and culture. The restaurant’s forthcoming Peking Duck offering is conceived as a three style journey, one that unfolds course by course with precision, restraint, and a clear sense of narrative. Set against sweeping skyline views, the experience reflects the restaurant’s philosophy of honoring Chinese culinary heritage while allowing it to evolve in a contemporary Bangkok context.

The opening serving sets the tone with a tableside carving of crisp duck skin and tender meat, served with homemade pancakes. House made Peking duck sauce is joined by a Thai inspired accompaniment that adds gentle brightness rather than heat, while seedless Thai tamarind refreshes the palate with natural acidity. Cucumber and leek complete the plate, creating a balanced introduction that feels both classic and quietly modern.

Guests opting for the two serving experience continue with a roasted duck leg, where the focus shifts to depth and richness. The meat is exceptionally tender, its savory notes layered with a subtle sweetness that lingers without excess. It is a course that highlights the quality of the duck itself, allowing technique and time to do most of the talking.

The full three serving journey concludes with a confident nod to Thailand. Stir fried duck kaprao brings fragrant holy basil and chili into the picture, transforming a familiar Thai favorite into something refined and elevated. The dish lands with warmth and energy, closing the experience on a note that feels rooted in place while remaining true to the restaurant’s Chinese foundations.
