A few photos from the launch of Duck Duck Goose which I attended recently...
Duck Duck Goose

Duck Duck Goose is a new bar and restaurant in QV, combining French and Chinese influences into one enormous restaurant and bar.
Upon entering, I was most impressed by the archways and gorgeous bar and lounge area. Its size and location would make it an obvious choice for Friday night drinks.
As I mentioned, Duck Duck Goose is absolutely massive, with seating room for at least 200. Beyond the bar and lounge area is seating for fine dining, as well as some private dining rooms.
From the private dining areas, you can see into the open kitchen. Personally, I find it so interesting to have a glimpse into commercial kitchens, especially for an operation the size of Duck Duck Goose!
Chefs taking pictures of their food. I'm not the only one!!!!!!!!!
There were many canapés on offer, with a focus on beef and seafood. There seemed to be varying cultural influences on the food, from European to Asian, which I'm sure will be represented in the regular menu.

Bottom right: Deep-fried crab balls
Other canapés included various dumplings, wagyu beef with apple, mashed potato with fish, beef jelly, pickled cucumber and more. The stronger dishes were definitely the deep-fried ones!
On the other side of the restaurant is a slightly more casual section, where I believe they will be serving yum cha and quick meals.
In the throng of people, we managed to run into a few food bloggers, and we also happened to meet Chef Paul Wilson (My only visit to The Botanical was after he left as chef, unfortunately!)
Look how happy Thanh is!

Thanks to all involved for a fun night!
Sarah and Sandra attended the launch party as guests of Duck Duck Goose.
