Roast duck date

Although the kangaroo was frantically busy with work in Beijing, he still made time to take me out on a dinner date to Peking duck mecca, Quan Ju De.

He directed the cab driver to the one next to the Forbidden City but was told it was under revonation so we went to another one — this restaurant has 12 joints in the city, so we didn’t need to feel disappointed.

A snug, juicy bit of goodness. I love the roast duck plain best, actually, so I can fully savour the crispy, savoury skin.

We were full of duck and posed in front of this culinary icon. It was one of those low key dates with good food and funny talk. I nearly rubbed my tummy with satisfaction.
