Beijing roast duck is said to have been brought to Beijing from Nanjing at the beginning. Nanjing people still like eating ducks very much, so is it a feature of old Beijing? I think it should be counted. After all, even if it was brought to Beijing from Nanjing, it would have been 600 years. Of course, it is a Beijing delicacy.
Many people will eat Beijing roast duck when they travel to Beijing. When it comes to eating Beijing roast duck, they naturally go to Quanjude to eat old Beijing roast duck. Some people come to Quanjude to eat roast duck, and many people are completely taken to Quanjude by tour groups. Besides the high price, Beijing Quanjude roast duck has no other obvious shortcomings. Beijing roast duck is really much more delicious than the roast duck with a roadside price of 20 yuan.
When eating roast duck in Quanjude, there is a special chef standing next to your dining table to slice the duck. Quanjude roast duck is roasted beautifully in a hanging furnace, and the chef is also showing how excellent the roast duck is when slicing the duck. When the sliced duck is finished, there will be a duck rack. At this time, the master will ask you whether you want duck rack soup or fried duck rack. No matter whether it is stew or frying, there is an additional processing fee. For friends who travel to Beijing, there are only two options for the duck rack of roast duck: cooking soup and frying, but for local friends living in Beijing or friends drifting in the north, there is a more cost-effective choice. For local diners, the duck rack is not cost-effective whether cooking soup or frying.
Eating roast duck in Quanjude, whether you choose duck rack soup or fried duck rack, will be served soon. After slicing the duck, the master asked you how to process the duck rack, and the duck rack was served less than 20 minutes after you chose it. Whether it is soup or fried, it will be served soon. It's normal for the fried duck rack to serve quickly, but the duck rack soup can be served quickly, which only shows that the pot of duck rack soup served on the table is not the duck rack soup of the roast duck you ordered. Moreover, there are obviously fewer duck shelves in this pot of duck rack soup. There are not many plates on the fried duck shelf.
Nowadays, in order to save time, many restaurants will make a lot of the most popular dishes in advance. Some people order this dish and put it on the plate directly or serve it after a little heating, so that guests don't have to spend time waiting for the store and save a lot of time. The roast duck you ordered has sliced the duck, and the rest of the duck rack is recycled by the restaurant. It is still cost-effective for the store to make three pots of duck rack soup with two duck racks, but not for the guests.
If you live in Beijing for a long time and have the conditions to cook by yourself, you can tell the master to pack the duck rack, which can save a processing fee and get a complete duck rack. Quanjude's roast duck is delicious, but the duck rack soup is not so good. Now Quanjude Roast Duck also has chain stores in many places. When people go to eat roast duck, they can really pack duck racks directly. To be honest, the duck rack soup or fried duck rack made in the store is not much better than what you make yourself.
Since you can pack the duck rack home when you go to Quanjude to eat roast duck, I will introduce some ways to eat the duck rack.
