We went for Peking Duck yesterday to celebrate Gaz's mom's birthday. The restaurant was rated in one of the Melbourne daily as one of the best Peking duck restaurants in our area. The duck skin was crispy and fragrant, but very fatty and oily. Don't get me wrong, I love animal fat, I love lard and fried chicken skin, but after eating three pieces of the skin, I couldn't have anymore of it. Although the duck was crispy and the sweet sauce went well with the popiah skin, cucumber and scallion, the duck pieces were roughly cut and some are big and in irregular sizes. Some of them couldn't even be rolled into the popiah skin.
The flesh of the duck was used to fry hokkien noodles with beansprouts. We also ordered stir fried veges and drunken chicken. The chicken had good flavour to it, very silky and had a good dash of chinese wine. The stir fried veges were OK, some parts of it overpowered by bamboo shoots which I dislike.
After dinner, we went home where we found this giant spider which had descended about 5 metres from an electric pole onto Gaz's mom's rose bushes and built a gigantic spider web. It's awesome!
