Another Chinese/Asian restaurant in the heart of our iconic
Collinwood suburb, so don’t expect that exceptional welcoming gesture and
greetings from your usual restaurant visits. On a good day, the guy that serves
you may be humorous other days you may just get a man whose attitude is “I did
my job, can I go now?”
I hear most complaints are from take-away customers, maybe
they are not ordering the specialty on the menu.
TIP: order restaurant’s specialty dishes, not boring stir
fried rice and spring rolls with honey chicken and sweet sour pork then expect
to be “WOOWED”.
Old Kingdom is known for their “Peking Duck” (another term
for Beijing ,
just old fancy English), oven spit roast duck specially blown out skin to give you
that extra succulent crispy skin.
A whole duck would feed at least 2 adult, and its only $55…
for 3 separate dishes (literally 3 course meal).
$55 deal includes:
- Whole Peking duck + pancake + plum sauce + cucumber + spring onion root.
- Duck soup with tofu
- Stir fried duck with bean sprouts
this is Stir fried
duck with bean sprouts - it was tasty =)
the catering guy
was cutting duck with awesome knife skills – my camera couldn’t
even capture a good shot (may have had it on the wrong mood).
Above is my pictorial to how to eat Peking Duct.
Then Fold, Fold, Fold and Wrap- The pancake is paper thin so I didn't get sick of it, it complimented well with everything else on the table
- Cucumber and spring onion root, isn’t necessary but it gives it a refreshing and crunchy contrast
- Succulent juicy, crispy skin, no fat duck meat, well cooked and marinated to perfection
- Best Peking Plum Sauce ever
Extras that was order:
Sweet, hot sour soup - average didn't tickle my fancy
Fried rice was ordinary, nothing spectacular
the reason why we usually order extra stir fried veges/ fresh veges in general is because it goes hand in hand with most meat and helps us digest our food more quickly so we can eat more without getting sick of the same meaty taste in our mouth.
Can you recommend me a good Peking duck restaurant?
Enjoy the rest of your days… ladies and gents stay
beautiful, healthy, wealthy and wise
