Ordering Strategy

Bring a big group and order heavily from the duck section to share, or if you're looking for a serious solo carb-load, ask for the legendary LSE Fried Rice.

What to order

Safe first

Stir-Fried Duck in Black Bean Sauce

The entire duck section of the menu is a reliable go-to, and this is a standout winner.

Hungry

LSE Fried Rice

A legendary, 'must-have secret menu item' that is 'very filling' and 'very fatty.' It consists of egg fried rice topped with a fried egg and honey black pepper pork in a 'Wat Tan Hor' style sauce.

Wildcard

Fried Udon with Shredded Duck

An incredibly comforting noodle dish that acts as the perfect late-night carb fix for a restaurant open until 3:30 am.

Good to know

Open until 3:30am every day with a quick table turnaround. The famous 'LSE Fried Rice' isn't explicitly written on the menu—look for the picture of it or just ask the staff.
