30th Oct

PA300545

1st. you eat the skin (reminds me of suckling piglet) Yummy!

PA300549

The chef will slice the duck in front of you

PA300552

place a "popiah skin"

PA300554

add in a slice of the meat and a some "sweet" sauce

PA300555

then you may add in as many strips of leek and onion to it

PA300556

wrap it the way you would wrap the normal kinda popiah. & Voila!

The waiters actually “performed” the steps of eating Peking duck to us upon my aunty’s request. Then hor, that waiter was going to feed me some more, so paiseh lar, but because he was standing in such an odd position i gestured him to just put in on my plate… btw, the step by step instructions above is done by me, the waiter didnt even wrap as nicely as i did… HAHAHA!

OH! you got to ask them to give you the sisa of the duck, with it you can boil a pot of soup or even cook porridge… aint joking! 

Gosh, my tummy is growling… the other dishes are:
