When friends first suggested dining at London Duck, I wasn't keen. The impression I got was that it is a restaruant from London specialising in duck. And as far as I know, people don't usually associate duck dishes with London.
Anyway, one day we were wondering around the mall, looking for some food, when we came upon this London Duck Zi Char. Only then did I realize that London Duck is just the name and has nothing to do with London. Apart from their roast meat which is their speciality, they also do Zi Char - a local term meaning to cook by frying.
The menu looked interesting, so we decided to give it a try.
This is a combo dish of roast duck, roast pork and barbecue pork. It was absolutely fabulous. I highly recommend this. This is also their house speciality.
This is a simple dish of Fench beans stir fried with dried prawns and salted fish. It is one of the more popular local dishes. It was really good. The beans were young and crunchy, the dried prawns and salted fish enhanced the taste.
This is another popular local dish - stir fried Kai Lan with garlic. The Kai Lan were very tender and they were fried just right.
The vegetables might look plain and nothing special, but trust me, they were delicious.
They have also other items on the menu for a simple meal. If you were on your own, and you just want a quick meal, you can go for any of these.
