Duck Emperor





If you come to Beijing, but you never taste Quanjude(全聚德), don’t tell me you have been to Beijing. Quanjude is one of the most famous Chinese restaurants for Peking Roast Duck. It was established in 1864 during the Qing Dynasty and has operated over 200 years. There are so many roasted ducks restaurants all over the world, but why Quanjude is so famous? The reason is about the special technique how they roasted their ducks. First, they have to choose good ducks which have to be over 5 kilograms and not older than 100 days. Second, they hang these ducks over the stoves which are made of fruit woods such as pear wood or jujube wood to make the ducks have fruit’s sweet smell on them. The technique has been listed into Intangible Cultural Heritage.


Let’s see what we had eaten.


First, we also ordered half of the famous Peking Roast Duck because it is pretty expensive, actually. The waiter would trolley our duck to our table and cut it right beside you.



Moreover, the waitress would ask that do you need example to show how you to eat or not. Then she would help you to wrap the first one friendly.

They not only offer Peking Roast Duck, but also other famous Chinese dishes. We also ordered a duck dish.





To me, I felt the Peking Roast Duck is oiler than Taiwan’s and it’s much more expensive. However, even though some of you may think it not worth eating, you should try it first and then you can give the comment after eating. The criticism will be much fairer. Anyway, it is a new experience for me and it is really interesting.
