ASEAN Records is proud to officially recognise Meng Meng Duck for achieving the milestone:
Most Dang Gui Herbal Charcoal-Roasted Ducks Sold in One Year by a Roast Duck Restaurant Group (60,289 ducks; 7 outlets across Malaysia; June 2025 – May 2026; established since 2003)
This recognition celebrates Meng Meng Duck’s longstanding dedication to preserving traditional Chinese roast meat craftsmanship while building one of Malaysia’s most recognised roast duck restaurant brands. Through its signature Dang Gui Herbal Charcoal-Roasted Duck and consistent culinary standards, the brand has established itself as a favourite destination for authentic charcoal-roasted Cantonese cuisine.
Preserving Traditional Charcoal-Roasted Culinary Heritage
Established in 2003, Meng Meng Duck began as a modest coffee shop stall in Johor Bahru before growing into a restaurant group with seven outlets across Malaysia and a team of nearly 200 employees. Throughout its journey, the company has remained committed to preparing traditional charcoal-roasted delicacies that preserve the authentic flavours of Chinese culinary heritage.
Its signature Dang Gui Herbal Charcoal-Roasted Duck is prepared using an exclusive Dang Gui herbal marinade before being slowly roasted over charcoal fire. The traditional roasting method produces crispy golden skin while preserving tender, juicy meat infused with aromatic herbal flavours, making it the restaurant’s most iconic and best-selling dish.
From June 2025 to May 2026, Meng Meng Duck sold an impressive 60,289 Dang Gui Herbal Charcoal-Roasted Ducks across its seven outlets, setting a new benchmark for a specialised roast duck restaurant group in the region.
Consistency Through Centralised Quality Standards
A key factor behind Meng Meng Duck’s sustained success is its commitment to consistency and quality.
The company operates a central kitchen that ensures every outlet maintains the same high standards of food preparation, hygiene, and flavour consistency. From ingredient preparation to roasting techniques, every process follows carefully developed standards while preserving traditional recipes that have been refined over more than two decades.
Beyond its signature roast duck, Meng Meng Duck offers a wide selection of traditional roast meats, Cantonese dishes, dim sum, and Nanyang-inspired specialities, providing customers with an authentic Chinese dining experience rooted in heritage and craftsmanship.
Building a Brand Through Tradition and Innovation
Throughout its growth, Meng Meng Duck has remained guided by its mission:
“To preserve traditional charcoal-roasted Chinese cuisine while passing this culinary heritage on to future generations.”
By combining authentic cooking methods with modern operational systems, the company has successfully expanded its presence while maintaining the quality that has earned the loyalty of generations of customers.
Its continued investment in product development, operational excellence, and customer service has enabled Meng Meng Duck to evolve into one of Malaysia’s most recognised charcoal-roasted restaurant brands.
