Peking Duck

This was a fun experience today. We had to try Peking duck while we were here. We were wandering around all these "hutongs" or alleys and eventually came across the restaurant we were looking for - it was in the middle of all these alleyways, tucked away in the middle of nowhere. We at first took a seat right beside some hanging ducks and thought maybe that wasn't the best spot for our appetite (to have a dead duck looking at you - poor quackers!). But the duck tasted so good! I really enjoyed it. We got to see them roasting over a fire. Then the cook cut the duck in front of us and they served it with some sauce, onions & cucumber and in a kind of light tortilla type thing. Really tasty - yum!
