Taking over the defunct Jones the Grocer on the fourth floor of Mandarin Gallery, the swanky new Royal London Duck serves delicious roasts meats alongside stellar dim sum. Although the kitchen is helmed by the same chef who opened London Fat Duck at Scotts Square, the duck skin here leans more towards the thin and crispy variety, not fatty. Come to this sprawling, high ceilinged space with your family in tow. Don't be shy to order the Royal London Duck ($13 for quarter, $25 for half and $48 for whole), a plate of resoundingly crisp Crispy Pork ($15.80) and chunky cubes of Signature Honey BBQ Pork ($16.80) to share. There are also excellent dim sum dishes like the Royal London Duck Black Pepper Bun ($5.80 for three) and XO Sauce Fried Turnip Cake ($5.80) to tuck into. Don't forget to have it all with their fiery black chilli — it's potent, but highly satisfying.
