We went out for dinner tonight to try another Chinese specialty: the Peking Duck. They bring this whole duck to the table, which is marinated in some sort of peanut sauce I think. While it is in front of you, they cut the skin off and put it into dumplings with cabbage and some other stuff. Then they take it away.
I was worried that they would run away with the rest of it, but then they came back after a little bit. They had sauteed it with random veggies and gave us large lettuce leaves to make our own rolls.
One thing that I didn't know before is that the locals here call it a Beijing duck. Apparently Peking is the old name of the same city. Sort of like the Mumbai-Bombay thing.
This was a short post so I added a picture too. I think one of my Chinese new year's resolutions is to put more pictures on my blog.
