Quanjude Roast Duck

Beijing Duck is the most typical dish in Beijing. The ducks are force-fed. So the meat is tender, greasy and fresh. Since it's roasted with hard wood of jujube, apricot and peach, you can smell the fragrance of fruit from the duck.
Quanjude Roast Duck Restaurant is the place offers the best Beijing Duck, it was established 130 years ago and, if you count from the time when founder Yang Renquan began his duck business, it is 160 years old.
At Quan Ju De, ducks are immersed in condiments unique to the restaurant and are roasted directly over flames stoked by fruit-tree wood. The best roasted duck is date-red, shining with oil, but with a crisp skin and tender meat.
The chef then cuts the meat into thin slices, each having a piece of skin. Then the meat is served with very thin pancakes, Chinese onions and special sauce. The way to eat it is to coat the thin pancake with sauce, slap on a few pieces of meat and roll up the pancake. Chopsticks are optional: it is much easier just to grab the thing with your bare hands.
It is said that this restaurant has sold more than 0.1 billion ducks. How does it know the accurate number? You want to know? Just go and see, you will know it!
