Quanjude Roast Duck
|
The Qianmen Quanjude Roast Duck Restaurant was established in 1864. The place is very close to Tiananmen Square which means not difficult to locate. Though it is very crowded most of the time. Now it is nationally famous for its roast duck, reputed to be China's No.1 delicacy. It is definitely the MUST-TRY delicious food. The duck may look oily, but in actual fact they are not and the duck (skin + meat) just melt in your mouth. Watching the chef (I like to refer him as cutter) skillfully cutting the duck next to your dining table is quite an experience and you will surely impressed by their hand movements while preparing it. Ever since its establishment, the restaurant has kept the traditional method of roasting duck: the duck is hung on a pole over a wood fire until the skin turns golden brown and crisp. Customers can enjoy the special taste of Quanjude duck by covering the slices with sweet paste and green-onion shreds on a soft flatbread.It's very simple: roast duck, green onion.
