Mr Duck-Number-148000174465

Quan Ju De, 19 Nov 2011

Almost every country in the world, I can find McDonald and Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC). Those are western fast food. It is quite sad there is no PRD (Peking Roasted Duck) fast food restaurant in any country (my crazy idea). It is so cool to eat sandwich with crispy roasted duck skin with sweet and sour sauce, and vegetables everyday after work.

Quan Ju De restaurant is located in Beijing. It is one of the earliest restaurants in Beijing that prepare Peking Roasted Duck. This restaurant is 147 years old. Quan Ju De is famous for preparing Peking Roasted Duck using open oven and fruit as hardwood fuel to add fruity flavour on the crispy duck skin. That is why Quan Ju de is famous all around the world.


The roasted duck skin is crispy and delicious. However Quan Ju De uses the traditional sauce and add savory to the crispy skin. I think they have to update the sauce to 21st modern century. They should serve the plum sauce. The sour and sweet taste goes very well with the duck skin. The duck meat is juicy and absolutely delicious. Quan Ju De also served wok fried duck kidney and it is delicious as well. The head, feet, wings and bones are used to make delicious duck broth. Almost all parts of the ducks are used.

The most important is Quan Ju De comes out with their own Er Guo Tou, Chinese white wine that goes very well with Peking Roasted Duck. This white wine is 58% alcohol. I even bought one for my superior and one for my buddy for his Christmas party. I wonder how well my favourite Chinese white wine goes with Roasted Turkey.

My Peking duck also comes with Commemoration Card. It is basically the identity card of my Peking Duck. So I had Mr Duck-Number-148000174465 swimming in my stomach.
