I started imagining having this meal ever since we decided to visit Beijing months ago. I fly all the way to Beijing, so MUST NOT miss the Famous Beijing Dish ~~ Peking Duck! Otherwise, how to forgive myself?? How to say that I've been to Beijing?? How to.....???
I very much wanted to run straight to the Beijing's 老字号 called 全聚德 (one of the restaurants that makes yummilicious Peking Duck) the minute I stepped out of the plane. But we had something arranged everyday & nite, so I had to wait for it to happen. Painful, torturing 10 days man!! The best meal was actually saved for last! LAST, really. Only got to taste it on our final night in BJ! Right before we left for airport! Mixed feelings again - I was excited [Peking Duck, finally] and sad [End of my holiday] at the same time. In icon terms ~ (^V^)y + :'(
I will let the pictures speak for the meal itself. I only have one word for it - Brilliant!

Cute little duckie that holds my chopsticks!
Duck Master in action

So yum yum that i'm licking my monitor now!
The long-awaited food - Steamy warm pancakes & crispy, crunchy, juicy Peking Duck! Can't wait to wrap them in the pancakes together spring onions & sauce & put them in my mouth!!
Contented look
