Duck Tales

Last weekend, we went to duck-out again... well... one of his colleagues LOVES duck, especially peking duck, so, we took the opportunity to indulge...
as usual, we went to the err... famous duck place in town, Old Kingdom in Smith Street, Fitzroy, this restaurant... when I went there the first time... I was impressed...
thoroughly impressed by its style, ie. it doesn't have A style, it's really a very duck place, a hardcore duck place, for hardcore duck eater...
my first impression on this Old Kingdom was, wow!!! no decoration at all, no beautiful waitresses in cheongsum, no beautiful layout of plates and bowls and chopsticks on the table...
On the table, it's mainly some basic items, PLUS a plate in the middle, to put the sliced peking duck later...
all the utensils are pretty old, and it seems like, the owner won't bother to replace them... ie. people come here to eat duck, and nothing else...
Then, the boss came to our table, the first question he asked, (he'll ask this to every customer) "have you been here before?", if the answer is 'no', then, he'll somehow teach you how to put the ingredients and the duck on the chinese pancake, and how to wrap, then eat... I was busy taking photos for the 'lucky' duck (as I have been there a few time, but never really take a good picture for the duck), then, he asked me if I was done with it, otherwise, he'd charge more for the copyright ^_^ just kidding!!!
This place has pretty good deal for peking duck, (however the owner, I heard, is a Bruneian, duh!!!! @_@) it's AUD48, and the package that comes with it, is, the remaining of the duck meat, will be used to be fried with bean sprout, and the frames will be used for soup, however... what they'll be serving you, the bean sprout and the soup, is of course, not exactly from the duck you just had... (who cares??) ^_^V

within 1/2 hour, we've already finsihed our own portion of duck... his colleague, our guest had a very slow pace of eating, and that... shh.... I'd to control my pace and stopped from time to time, otherwise, ^_^ I'd have finished his portion for him!!! ^_^ then... I urged them to serve the soup faster... so that, in the mean time, I could fill up my stomach with the soup... it was nice... ^_^

This place has a menu in fact, but since most of those(including us) who come to this place, is for hardcore eating duck, so, normally we don't bother about the menu, and the waiter also doesn't bother much into taking orders from us, he'll just confirm with us, if the 'standard' package is all that we want... ^_^

ps: talking about duck, however... there's a recommended place for HK style roast duck rice, Pacific House, we went to the branch in Toorak Road... well... pretty nice too!!! (drool!!)
