Peking duck in Melbourne is so different from Malaysia. Although the essential combo is thin crepe, cucumber, spring onion, crispy duck skin with sweet plum sauce, the melbourne version includes meat with skin. No complaints here as I love duck!
Simon's peking duck is an 8.5/10 for me with points lost because of flavour and the fact it is deep fried. Crepes are 10/10 and sauce 9/10.
The stir fried bean shoot (bean sprouts or taugeh) with duck meat was delicious as the shoots were still crunchy and not too salty. Bean curd and salty vegetable with duck soup was flavourful. Sweetness of the soup solely derived from the duck bones and saltiness from the salty vegetable. No salt added so some of you may find it bland.
Overall, I enjoyed the experience and will return with more accomplices.
