East Treasure Chinese Restaurant

About East Treasure Chinese Restaurant

East Treasure Chinese Restaurant brings exquisite Chinese cuisine to the Singapore heartlands, with outlets at Toa Payoh, Woods Square and Clarke Quay. Dishes are conceptualised by the restaurant's own Master Chef using only the freshest ingredients, aiming for food that is light on the palate yet packed with flavour. The restaurant is best known for its 60-hour dry-aged roasted duck, prepared using an in-house dry-aging cabinet and made only with ducks above 3kg that pass the chef's stringent quality test, resulting in a golden brown, crispy skin.

East Treasure was honoured as Winner of Best Chinese Restaurant (Casual Dining) at the Epicurean Star Awards 2025, presented by the Restaurant Association of Singapore. Beyond the roasted duck, other must-try dishes include the double-boiled tonic soup with crocodile meat, chilli and white pepper crab, and wagyu beef specialties. The restaurant's dry-aged Beijing duck is also noted as an award-winning signature dish. With a cozy, nostalgic ambiance, East Treasure positions itself as a place where tradition meets modernity, and every visit becomes a memory worth treasuring.

East Treasure Chinese Restaurant: Dry-Aged Duck and Treasures of the Sea in Singapore

East Treasure Chinese Restaurant has built a following across its three Singapore outlets — Toa Payoh, Woods Square and Clarke Quay — on a promise of exquisite, mouth-watering Chinese cuisine conceptualised by its own Master Chef. The restaurant leans into a philosophy of using only the freshest ingredients, aiming for dishes that stay light on the palate while still delivering big flavour, all served within a cozy, nostalgic ambiance the restaurant describes as making guests feel right at home.

The Signature: 60-Hour Dry-Aged Roasted Duck

The dish East Treasure is most raved about is its 60-hour dry-aged roasted duck. Using an in-house dry-aging cabinet, the kitchen naturally tenderises the duck through enzymes over 60 hours, using only ducks above 3kg that pass the chef's stringent selection process. The result, according to the restaurant, is a golden brown, crispy skin that makes every hour of dry-aging worth it. A Dry-Aged Beijing Duck is also on the menu, and is called out as the restaurant's award-winning signature dish — a genuine must-try for anyone visiting for the first time.

Treasures of the Sea

Beyond duck, East Treasure's "Treasure of the Sea" section showcases some of Chinese fine dining's most prized ingredients: braised shark's fin with crab meat in claypot, shark's fin with fish maw in chicken broth, and shark's fin with fish maw and crab meat encased in puff pastry. Australian abalone, sea cucumber prepared in both Fujian and Beijing styles, and braised crocodile paw and tail with Chinese herbs round out a section built for special occasions and celebratory meals.

Chef Specials and a Famous Chilli Crab

The Chef Special section highlights some of the kitchen's most distinctive creations, including a double-boiled tonic soup with crocodile meat and local spinach, fresh lobster pao fan, and braised butter crab with vermicelli served in a claypot. East Treasure's own take on chilli crab also appears here — a dish that nods to one of Singapore's most iconic culinary exports.

Live Fish and Crab, Cooked Your Way

For guests wanting a more customisable meal, East Treasure offers a live fish and live crab selection, including red snapper, marble goby, dragon grouper, and — with advance order — wild green wrasse and wild red grouper. Live crab options include mud crab, butter crab and Alaskan king crab. Both fish and crab can be prepared in a range of cooking styles, from Singapore chilli and black pepper to salted egg yolk, sake and Chinese wine, typhoon shelter style, and steamed preparations with garlic sauce or egg white and Chinese wine — giving diners real flexibility in how their catch of choice is served.

Appetisers and Soups

Rounding out the menu, the appetiser section includes dishes like stir-fried aubergine with salted egg yolk and chicken floss, deep-fried black bean curd with shichimi powder, and crispy fried spicy duck wings flavoured with cumin. The superior soup section offers double-boiled pork stomach with free range chicken soup, fish maw and seafood soup, and a thick chicken soup with wonton and fish maw, among others.

Recognition and Convenience

East Treasure was named Winner of Best Chinese Restaurant (Casual Dining) at the Epicurean Star Awards 2025, presented by the Restaurant Association of Singapore — recognition that lines up with the restaurant's reputation for quality across its three locations. The Toa Payoh outlet accepts CDC Vouchers, and homemade drinks come with published Nutri-Grade nutritional information for health-conscious diners. Whether it's a celebratory shark's fin dinner or a casual visit for the famous dry-aged duck, East Treasure aims to make every meal a memory worth treasuring.
