I think if you travel to Beijing and you don't try this famous dish, you will miss one of the greatest foods ever created. Whole duck roasted slowly over a wood fire, basted so the skin becomes golden and crispy, moist and crunchy all at the same time. And the meat juicy and succulent. Truly amazing.
Our duck was carved tableside and beautifully presented.

To eat this, you place few pieces of the meat onto an impossibly thin crepe, along with some strips of vegetables, some rich dark sweet sauce, wrap the crepe around the contents and eat with your hands - a rare thing in China.
The best part - taking just pieces of the crispy skin, dipping this in sugar crystals and eating this like the greatest tasting candy ever!
