Peking Duck

The dinner includes Peking Duck, but beverages are not included.

Peking Duck is a legendary Chinese dish that originates from Beijing, celebrated for its distinctive preparation and rich flavors. The traditional cooking method involves air-drying the duck, glazing it with a sweet maltose syrup, and then roasting it in a wood-fired oven, resulting in a crispy, golden-brown skin that is the hallmark of this iconic dish. The tender meat underneath complements the crispy skin perfectly, creating a delightful contrast in texture. Peking Duck is typically served in a multi-course format, where diners can first enjoy thinly sliced skin, accompanied by sweet bean sauce, fresh cucumbers, and scallions, all wrapped in delicate pancakes. This interactive style of dining adds to the experience, allowing guests to customize their own bites and fully appreciate the flavors.

The cultural significance of Peking Duck stretches back centuries, making it a symbol of Chinese culinary art and an essential part of Chinese cuisine. Originally served to emperors and their courts, this dish has remained a favorite among locals and tourists alike. Enjoying Peking Duck is more than just a meal; it’s an immersion into Chinese culture and a must-try for anyone visiting the capital. Whether you’re a seasoned foodie or a curious traveler, indulging in this iconic dish will undoubtedly be a highlight of your culinary journey in Beijing, making it a memorable experience to share with friends and family.
