However, I tend to scoop out the fat under the skin with a spoon before eating it as I eat it quite often and its not good for health!Hazzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01613090634260788967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1304437690959603870.post-8673278387332603142008-04-18T20:21:00.000+08:002008-04-18T20:21:00.000+08:00I shall be waiting for ur taro ring? and Just hel...I shall be waiting for ur taro ring? and Just help u to recall ( like Wey says, HOW MANY TIMES U WANT ME TO TELL U?

And the other dishes they have on offer is quite nice too. About them being snotty though, it's weird that I've never really encoutered the same problem. Last time we thought we pre-ordered too many ducks (3 or 4 for about 10 people) and so, we told the manager/owner we don't need the last duck, he was quite oblidging. But then again, in ur case, to make u get 2 ducks is ridiculous! 1 duck can feed 5 easily! <BR/><BR/>Don't worry, if i end up going again, i will try my best to take many fotos and write up a review on my blog about it. :) (Or I could always make booking for u when u come. I think the key is to mention that u know the owner, Simon - even if u don't..hahaha...that's what my mum does!! First time we ate there, my mum chatted to the owner briefly and already established that they were friends!) <BR/><BR/>Regarding my education BG....yeah i went to TTSS too and also SI. But I realise I don't know your daughter - by name or by face. She could be my junior/senior? I was born 1985. Maybe my siblings might know her?Moodie Foodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14094812892126031259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1304437690959603870.post-41495465832860778732008-04-18T15:33:00.000+08:002008-04-18T15:33:00.000+08:00gosh, that guy on the far left in the second pic l...gosh, that guy on the far left in the second pic looks like the thinner version of Kenny Sia!<BR/><BR/>-yiziAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1304437690959603870.post-55268005450787055272008-04-18T14:38:00.000+08:002008-04-18T14:38:00.000+08:00foodie: ya, ya the temple/cheng huang miao xiao lo...foodie: ya, ya the temple/cheng huang miao xiao loong baos are over-rated n only tourists are raving about them while locals avoid them, just like Mak's wontons in Hk.Terri @ A Daily Obsessionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00220600890256142215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1304437690959603870.post-42150036043748490652008-04-18T14:36:00.000+08:002008-04-18T14:36:00.000+08:00angeline: hi, thanks for visiting this blog :)ok, ...angeline: hi, thanks for visiting this blog :)ok, i'll look into it this weekend. i'm no expert, just 'ngak sik ngak sik' !<BR/><BR/>preciousp: LUCK! but u don't need it. i bet Nathan's father will take over if you can't give the duck a good blowxxx--did i really say tt?? i've seen a friend cook crispy roasted duck, n he stuck a straw in between the skin of the duck and blew like mad n it ballooned. only thing is, i kept thinking: does tt mean we'll eat his saliva??<BR/><BR/>foodie: yes, tt's where we go for Peking Duck too, n it is pathetic i agree :))btw, u asked if we may know each other. which school did u go to? my girl was in ttss n then SI. what about u?<BR/><BR/>my daughter tried to make a reservatn at Old Kingdom when we were there last Dec n they were very snotty. they said only 1 table left, at 9 pm, Yi said we'll take it. then they asked how many ppl, we said a fam of 5 n they said we'll need TWO ducks. At--if i'm not wrong--A$80 each, why should we have to eat duck all night long? we said 1 duck is good enough, n we want to order other dishes, they said no. so i told her to cancel bc there's no way i'll be cowed--ducked??--into eating 2 ducks. Yi very reluctantly called them back, saying " But mom they are the best ever." <BR/><BR/>no matter how good a place is, i'm not going if they give me the snotty treatment.but er..can u blog them one day? just want to see what the big deal is :DTerri @ A Daily Obsessionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00220600890256142215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1304437690959603870.post-91574269607101187252008-04-18T09:32:00.000+08:002008-04-18T09:32:00.000+08:00mmmm...peking duck....i know it's not fancy but my...mmmm...peking duck....i know it's not fancy but my family loves the peking duck at ["jing hu/king hu" (tg aru) only coz it's so fuss-free and the crepes are quite thin. And omg, the duck soup is fab! i find the problem with dishes in china nowadays to be too commercialised. peking duck in beijing is terrible and xiao long bao in shanghai restaurants are atrocious (excl. the one at the temple)!<BR/><BR/>btw, was i not right about the chinese restaurant @ hyatt. quite a hit-&-miss huh?<BR/><BR/>terri, there is a place here in melbourne called "old kingdom" in collingwood which is very famous for serving duck. A normal feast includes peking duck (my little sister just eats the crepes on its own!), simple duck stir fried with bean shoots & spring onion, duck fried noodles or fried rice (u can choose not to have this and go for plain white rice) & lemon duck soup. Just thought u'd like to know when u pop down here on ur visit - be warned though, most bookings need to made about 1 week or more, and they close on Tuesdays (i think). :)Moodie Foodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14094812892126031259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1304437690959603870.post-16093692021792596742008-04-18T08:49:00.000+08:002008-04-18T08:49:00.000+08:00Long long time since i last had Peking Duck and I ...Long long time since i last had Peking Duck and I prefer to have a bit of meat to go with the skin too.
