It was worth trying something different.

Excellent.

Best dish of the evening.

Leshan Braised Duck

Crispy duck

Served with hoisin but they entertained our requests for plum sauce and chili sauce (fermented bean chili paste being the only kind available).

Duck Roasted with Angelica Herb: This dish boldly claims to nourish the blood, promote blood circulation, remove blood stagnation, treat blood deficiencies and habitual constipation. Forget EPO or a blood transfusion. Angelica herb (dang gui)'s got you covered!

Braised Roasted Duck and Chicken with Chestnuts

Wrapped in pancakes.

Duck leg served in duck sauce. The skin was particularly tasty.

A traditionally Teochew dish of braised duck with Cantonese influences, prepared by a Teochew chef because his master was Cantonese. Talk about a culinary identity crisis! Anyway, duck was tender and the braising sauce, flavorful. I might try it with the congee next time, but I’m not sure I’d stand in line a half hour for it again.

Pretty good because it wasn’t overcooked.

Pretty good duck, although I’m not sure it tasted smoked or that the tea leaves actually added much to it.

My first time trying this old school duck dish that is apparently rarely seen in Chinese restaurants here anymore. I’m going to say Cantonese roast duck forever.

Rather bland and over-cooked. 🙁
