| - Yeahhhhhhhh Peking duck!
Came here today to try out their Peking roasted duck.
I came with some people from beijing, they said the duck here are quite authentic, however the sauce could be better.
A small plate of duck skin was brought to us first, they were quickly devoured by used thin a minute. The skin were sprinkled with some sugar on top, they were very crispy and creamy, soooo fatty. Then the full plate of roasted duck skin and meat are served, placed on top of a lit candle to be kept warm. Two plates of thin steamed pancakes, and threaded scallion, cucumbers and some sweet bean sauce were provided. The way to eat these is to place one piece of pancake on your hand, put some scallion, cucumber, duck and some sauce on top of the pancake, then roll it up like spring roll and eat it with your hand. Yum~
Since only the skin and top layer of the meat were served, there are still a some meat left on the duck rack/bone. These can be taken home with you, they are great for broth or congee. The other option is to ask the chef to stir fry the remaining duck with either cumin seed, hot chili or pepper. We had it cooked with cumin seed. Tasted amazing! Flavorful finger food. These stir fried duck rack would be great to be paired with beer. They were quite greasy tho, ducks are usually quite fat. Anyway, no food is wasted!
We also had 3 other dishes, some garlic stir fried green veggie, braised eel and some stir fried chili and pork.
The food were great, but very greasy I have to say. The restaurant is relatively new, so it was very clean with nice decor. Friendly and attentive staff. I would recommend Peking Duck Kitchen, and will definitely come back to try out other dishes.
