How to peking it.

Peking duck, Peking duck, Peking duck...

@ Beijing Beijing 700, 3803 Calgary Trail

I always loved peking duck as a kid. It was always a treat to have it and still is. I called two days in advance to order one and it was so worth it! A peking duck is a national Chinese dish that dates back from the imperial era. It's a set of three dishes made with the same duck

First they... BBQ the duck, then someone comes to cut the skin off the duck...

Crispy duck skin...

And it is served with a chinese pancake, spring onions, cucumber and hoisin sauce

Then they make a soup with the duck bones.. They include bok choy and tofu into the soup.
Like many bone broth soups the soup comes out creamy looking... (I love this soup!)
The full picture...

Then the duck meat is used to make a vege dish or a carb dish, you can get fried rice with duck, or noodles with duck.. but we choose a duck and beans sprout dish...

And that's it for the duck... However, We ordered more food as well. The menu at Beijing Beijing has really improved and it's hard to just choose a couple dishes...

We had wor wonton soup...

The wrap around the wonton tasted very fresh!!

Fried oysters with a salt dip... (I could have done without this dish.. it was bland and very oily)

My favorite dish from beijing beijing is the strawberry ribs....

And who did I share this with?

My adventurous Italian couple =)
