Thus, a few days ago, I got tempted to try it. Beside the roasted ducks, they also sell roasted chicken and also roasted pork. If I'm not mistaken the ducks are dipped into a mix sauce made from water, honey, dry sherry, white vinegar, and anise; before being roasted.
I bought 1/2 duck for dinner. It costed only Rp. 60.000 (less than USD 6). My mom and I were very impressed with the taste of the roasted duck. Although the skin was not crispy nor glassy as it supposedly to be, but the meat was very soft, tender and also juicy. In addition, it had a nice distinctive flavor. The chili sauce (made from chilies, plum sauce, sugar, vinegar, and ginger) was so perfect as a condiment to eat the roasted duck.
Definitely, I will come back again to buy the roasted duck and probably also to try their other roasted meat :)Disclaimer:

The price seems reasonable! Love roast duck, just had it in a good restaurant in London, missing it so much now! Should be a delightful dinner at home. :)

ReplyDeleteEnjoy take-away 1/2 duck and eat it as finger food in the privacy of my home:)
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame the duck skin wasn't crisp, though the food looks wonderful. They should have you write local food reviews, Selba. You are getting to be very good at restaurant reviews.

rosa: You like peking duck? Nice... :)
ReplyDeleteI would have been disappointed too that the skin wasn't crispy, but you can't beat the price.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't look like peking duck at all. It looks more like chinese roast duck.
ReplyDeleteYum, Peking Duck. They say Long Island has some of the best ducks in the world and yet, I have never had Peking Duck cooked there. Now, I want to.
ReplyDeleteYou really are so good at restaurants reviews, Selba. You see, I'm not the only one who thinks so:) Crispy skin would have been much better but the flavors and hint of anise sure sound good!
Thanks for sharing...
We're crazy for duck at our house. Lucky you to be able to pick one up on the way home, especially at such a reasonable price.
ReplyDeleteI've been away from internet access for a couple of weeks and I've missed all of your wonderful food. It's nice to be back.
Sam
Yea, the sauce plays an important role. The duck skin looks less oily than those we have here.
ReplyDeleteLooks good, I've always wanted to find a great place for peking duck.
ReplyDeleteI am not a big fan for duck. But Peking duck is my all-time favourite. Weird huh? ;P
ReplyDeleteMmmm...reminds me of Chinatown in NYC, my fave!
ReplyDeleteI love...love Peking duck, though in Greece is very expensive (about 12 Euros per serving).
ReplyDeleteRoast duck is a love-hate dish with a 50 % failure rate !
ReplyDeleteEither too much fats , or skin or bones
LOL !

Bebek bebek bebek just lurves saying that. =D

ReplyDeleteFFT: Hehehe… Understood coz’ actually I started to love duck meat from eating Peking duck.
Catherine: Yummm… I believe NYC Chinatown has great peking ducks :)

ReplyDeleteBSG: Hehehe… well, this one is very meaty!
tummythoz: LOL… sounds cute, ya?
tigerfish: Sure.. sure.. sure… hehehe
The price is not bad and the duck certainly looks delicious, Selby!Sounds very flavorful!
