My first attempt at eating duck ended up with me hearing the quackings of a thousand ducks in my ears. I never voluntarily went anywhere near duck meat again but one day, in a restaurant in Beijing, it couldn’t be avoided. Crispy bits of exquisite duck skin to snack on, flavourful meat to have in rolls, and minced duck fried rice changed my perception and acceptance of the meat. Still, I have never ordered a duck dish in any restaurant on my own accord.
When I am urged to try the Hong Kong Roast Duck Rice (RM25) at Kenny Hills Bistro, I am not too fluttered about it anymore. In fact, this might just be the ducky that makes me love duck meat.
