Beijing – Peking Duck

Hey Guys,

i am sorry that this took me so long to write about one of the most amazing meal I had in Beijing – Peking Duck. obviously we had to eat Peking Duck in Peking. There is no way around it. There are many restaurants were you can eat it. We were in one at the top of shopping center. It was a really nice restaurant.

The waiting

The first thing we learnt was that it is not easy to get a table. When we came there you, you take your place in the queue and wait your turn to get your waiting number. Is it your turn you say how many people you are and then you get a number and then you have to wait around until your number is called. Than you get a table. This was a first for me to get a waiting number when I wanted to eat something. I actually don’t remember how long we waited for table but it was definitely more than a half of hour.

The Dishes

We always ordered four different dishes and eat from all of them. Here we ordered a half Peking duck and egg-rice with shred duck, than something like pancakes with a filling we don’t know and something else where we don’t know what it was. All the dishes were very delicious. All the dishes get serve at the same time except for the Peking duck. The Peking duck came an hour after we ordered.

The duck itself got cut direct on our table. You can watch them and you get very little of what the meat. Than came the stuff that I didn’t know about. All stuff you need to eat Peking duck. We got melon, onions and cucumber. Also we sugar, sesame sauce and at last we got really thin flatbread. When I search for it in the web I always find crepes as the flatbread.

The duck in the combination of all these ingredients tasted amazing. Now I really want to eat Peking duck again.
