Beijing Roast Duck......Yummy!!

As a beijing girl, i'm obligated to give you guys a brief introduction of the most typical local flavored food in beijing, which has a history of over 600 years- the beijing roast duck.

The duck must be superior quality and be forced-fed 4 times a day to make them grow fast so that each duck can be 6-7 ponds in weight when killed,but actually they are only two months old.

The process of the roast is a kind of convoluted! With the injection of the compressed air and some boiling water poured inside,  the roasted duck skin is crisp and gold brown while its meat remains juicy and tender.  And the firewood is special too, its the fruit tree branches which give the duck more fruity flavor.

Beijing roast duck is served in a unique way.First the chef show you the whole duck and cut it in front of you and then take it away to slice up. One duck can be sliced into about 120 thin pieces, each having both skin and meat. That's amazing!!! And the dinner is served with some thin pancakes, green onion and sweet soybean paste.  Put them together into your mouth, and then, you are just in heaven!!!

So if you come to beijing someday, don't forget to make me informed and i will be your guide and take you to eat this delicious food!~
