When it comes to food, provenance matters. It is why some restaurants are able to charge a premium for, say, seafood from Japan. And it’s also a selling point for eateries to offer ingredients from highly-regarded sources.

Major F&B players in Singapore that use Irish ducks for their dishes include the TungLok Group, which runs duck-centric restaurant Duckland at PLQ mall. The restaurant recently made a viral post on social media about a customer who had walked out without paying after claiming that the duck he ordered was not Irish.
