I am the only one in my family who like duck that's why we don't get to eat it here in KC often. But R and I share our favorite duck dish which is the Crispy Aromatic Duck - Crispy Peking duck eaten with pancake, spring onions, cucumber and hoisin sauce. Yummnnn...thinking about it made me salivate for it! LOL! We use to order a small portion (1/4 duck) as appetizer or (1/2 duck) a meal on its own everytime we go to Chinese restaurants especially the ones in London (Royal China, Emperial China and Golden Dragon in Chinatown does very good crispy aromatic duck) Apparently this dish has been created by the Chinese community in UK.
Crispy Aromatic Duck
The last time I had duck was when I prepared a duck dish - Magret de Canard Sauce Bigarade - at Culinary school in 2008. The other day, we went to Grilleto's Fastfood and Restogrill and since duck is the specialty of the house, this and being a grill house too serving grilled boneless chicken and seafoods, we ordered their Sweet and Spicy Pato (Duck) which according to the waitress was most popular. My Nanay and Tatay are not a big fan of duck meat so we only settled for one dish. They also have Adoboloco Pato, Patotin, Kalderetang Pato and Pato Sisig.
About the dish, what can I say...its sweet with pineapple bits, its spicy with a dozen of birds eye chilies sprinkled on the dish - in fact too spicy that we were not able to appreciate the duck meat because the chili had stung our tongues with the first bite already. I also have only eaten duck breasts and thighs before so getting a portion with duck wings and parts I couldn't recognize and on the bone, I was quite disappointed and one thing for sure... I love chicken more and I'll stick to the duck dishes I know and Foie Gras! LOL! =)
As for their slogan: Try me, Im Delicious... I am worth waiting for...
Well, We tried and it didn't quite met my expectation but having paid only P127 for the Sweet and Spicy Pato, I can't complain anymore. It was fair enough price paid considering that duck meat is quiet pricey in the market.
Fha, their pato were so skinny..... All i remember is that it's puro bukog!
