Beijing - Roast Duck!

I was in Beijing for 3 weeks for work.  so had the opportunity to try out the restaurants there. 
Roast Duck is one of the most famous dish in Beijing so of coz I have to try it out!
went to 2 different restaurants for that - Da Dong and Duck king

Da Dong Roast Duck 
one of the more famous restaurant in Beijing... famous for its roast duck - which is crispy but not oily
it is very popular and have a long queue all the time so you must book
It is not cheap as well! especially their tea! 
the roast duck is 268rmb, while a pot of tea is 218rmb!

orange duck soup which was recommended by my guide book
I wasnt a fan of the soup .. but not bad

 food are nicely presented but I wouldnt say any of the dishes are memorable except the roast duck

i think it was fried intestine ( I didnt try it out coz im not a fan of intestine)

prawn

stir fry beef

fried bak hap fa - that was quite nice

the chef chopping the duck up

you have it either with the steam pancake / roast sesame shell

all the diff sauces

duck soup

Duck King
It is not as famous but it was near by the office :)
the underground in beijing is horrendous during rush hour. so I do try and avoid where possible!

- crispy duck spring roll
- sesame transparent noodles
- veg in soup 


- slicing up the duck by the chef

- it was nice but ya... it is not as crispy and more oily then those at da dong..
