I can't believe I've just passed December without any post. It was a busy fussy December and I'm so thankful I've finally gone through everything. So, I thought that it would be nice to have a decent meal together as the first meal in 2011. Our choice is the duck meal!
This restaurant named 巧廚烤鴨 is specialized in Hong Kong style roast duck. Their thousand-year old egg porridge (皮蛋粥) is also popular, besides they provide other menus like gravy rice, fried noodle, ramen, soup, kimchi.
I was awed by the phonograph record collection when I first entered this place. The owner is a music lover and still plays the music on that vintage device. The best thing is we can put on our music request while eating, love it!
Here come the food:
 |
| Roast duck (skin with a layer of meat) + dipping sauce + spring onions |
 |
| Pancakes to wrap the duck ~ yummy! |
 |
| Remainder of the duck stirred up with vegetable, chili & shacha sauce |
 |
| Tofu and thousand-year old egg |
The special thing about the thousand-year old egg here is that the yolk is yellow despite of gray, but still with the delicious sticky texture. Overall, it's a very satisfying lunch and costs us around 100NT per person.
Have a won-duck-ful New Year, everyone!
Some trivia:
- The owner is a Christian, so they rest and close every Sunday.
- They employ the diffable as waiter (remind me of I am Sam).
- The owner's daughter is very beautiful, that's why many young boys like to dine in.
