Sunday

Today is Sunday. We met a friend of Nan's. She has known him since she was 3 years old. His daughter came by to meet Delainie. He took us to lunch at a restaurant where we ate for the very first time. Beijing Duck. Not Peking Duck... Beijing Duck. It was one of the best things we have ate here.

Of course we ate many other things besides the duck. We had crispy potatoes, stir fried veg, cherry tomatoes, spicy chicken with peanuts, spicy beef & bacon and veg. This was all before the brought out the duck.

What it is is duck that is roasted hanging so that all of the fat drips out. They then slice the breast very thin. There are very thin like tortillas, sauce, thin sliced green onion and cucumber. How you eat is put the tortilla in your hand, pick up the duck, dip it in the sauce, put it on your tortilla along with the onion & cucumber. Then you roll it up like a burrito and make sure to tuck in one end so that the contents dong fall out. It was really delicious. The skin is crispy and the very moist.
