blogged about this before here.
Can't remember which restaurant I had this in, but it was one of the famous ones in Chinatown, London.
And I have to be really bold to say this but I think that London has THE best duck in the world. From their roast duck to aromatic duck; which frankly, the latter was created in London as a replacement of the dish peking duck to serve to the local Chinese immigrants in the past; because it was such a waste to just eat the crispy skin when you can have the whole duck, shredded up and wrapped in thin pancakes with hoisin sauce and shallots. Yum.
In a way, you could say that the most authentic aromatic duck in the world is, actually, in London.
Among other things we ordered that night.
exorbitantly expensive 'tong po' meat.
exorbitantly expensive oat deep fried mantis prawns.
