For years and years my sister and I laughed at this place. What kind of name is Peking Man? It seemed like some cheap Chinese restaurant loaded with MSG.
So this place is called PEKING MAN...that means you come here for the Peking duck...at least my sister and I do.
We ordered the 2 course peking duck meal for $39.00. To have the second course cooked in beansprouts, it was $2 extra.
It was about a 20 minute wait for them to prepare everything.
While we waited we talked about how cute the decor was. It was so adorably dated.
The waiter came out with the peking duck and sliced it right before our eyes.
We were given 12 paper thin spring pancakes for the two of us, a plate of scallions and sliced cucumber and hoisin sauce.
The first bite was bliss. The duck was a little fatty but that's what made it so sinfully good. The skin was super crispy. My sister is repulsed by skin on meat products and she happily ate it. The translucent but springy pancakes were able to hold the weight of the scallions, cucumbers, duck and hoisin sauce. Impressive.
The duck with bean sprouts was surprisingly delicious. I was expecting the duck with wraps to be the star of the meal but the second course was amazing.
