Da Dong Kaoya (Roast Duck)
-
Da Dong Kaoya (Roast Duck), nestled in the Nanxincang complex, a thoughtfully restored Ming dynasty imperial granary, is not one of Beijing’s famous centuries old Peking Duck eateries, but it was made famous by serving one of the best ducks in town.
The skin of the duck is crispy and the meat is tasty, and each roast duck is served with an array of condiments, including sweet wheaten sauce, granulated sugar, crushed garlic, thin slivers of scallions, red turnips and cucumber. Your molasses-coloured duck is presented at your table, carved table-side, and then several duck-filled pancakes are assembled for you until your waitress thinks you’ve got the knack yourself.
In addition to the perfectly roasted duck, Da Dong also offers a wide variety of fantastic Chinese dishes, all with great presentation. The restaurant has a classical Chinese decor with a bright modern flare, and the service is good, making dining here an all-round pleasant experience.
Serving one of Beijing's best dishes!
