Having firmly established themselves as Chippendale’s go-to fast-food eatery for fresh fusion eats, Holy Duck! relaunches this month with a new dinner menu that sees traditional Chinese meals modernised and reimagined.

Continuing to serve up burgers and rice bowls by day, Holy Duck’s new dinner menu features an eclectic mix of traditional Chinese flavours united with modern delights. The new dinner menu of contemporary east-meets-west cuisine is a product of the combined culinary genius of chefs Neo Ni (ex Billy Wong and Lotus Dumpling Bar) and Daniel Hu, who comes to Holy Duck! from one of Singapore’s finest French restaurants, Le Saint Julien.

Located within Kensington Street’s Old Rum Store, Holy Duck! is a joint effort between the father of Chippendale’s funkiest dining precinct, Dr. Stanley Quek and Kaisern Ching, creator of one of Sydney’s favourite contemporary Chinese eateries, Chefs Gallery.

“We wanted to add a bit of sophistication to our dinner menu while maintaining that fun contemporary twist to Chinese cooking. We’ve carefully reinvented the new dinner menu and made sure that each item packs a punch,” says Ching.
