*oh my goodness! this entry should have been published long long ago loh…well, what else, but due to my procrastination! haha.
happened to see its draft copy, 原来是还有最后一小段还没完成…好!就干脆把它给完成了吧!
请注意:这 beijing trip 是我去年三月的时候去的…嘿嘿,不好意思…
==================================================
北京烤鸭当然是个不能不谈的话题…
这一趟,我共吃了三次烤鸭…
吃的第一餐是 (1) 全聚德…首先我们寻到了前门大街的总店…奇怪,怎么找也找不到,原来一直在我们前方被围起来的就是前门,此时正在进行装修…难怪走来走去,不停在这被围起来的范围绕着,当然瞧不到啦…
后来走到了前门西大街的那间,还走了好远的路呢…却没想到 2.30pm – 4.30pm 是餐馆的休息时间…天啊!怎么吃一餐全聚德的烤鸭是那么地波折重重啊!
隔天,我们来到了王府井的分店,又再次碰钉子,这一间的休息时间更早,2pm 就开始了。还好,附近的东来顺没有这样的rule, 不然真的是饿死人喽…
终于再一个隔天,我们及时在 2pm 之前踏进了王府井全聚德分店…

嗯,味道还好,因为没得比较,所以觉得还不错…
只是觉得服务生好像急着要收工似的,问有什么其他菜肴好介绍,却随便敷衍我们, 可能是因为已经超过两点了吧…
(2) 北京大董烤鸭

第一印象…非常超级地有气派…而且还得排长龙呢!
the queue number we got was 51, and to be precise, it was “small table no.51″…yet they were serving only no.31 at that moment!
what to do, we had already come this far, might as well wait loh…there were lots of people waiting, so i guess it must be really good after all, if not, these people wun be so willing to wait for their turns right, even if they were 20 tables away…
i think we waited for nearly 1 1/2 hours, and by the time it was finally our turn, there were still customers coming in to get queue numbers…ooh…it was already 8.30pm leh…that means they had to wait till 9+ or even 10pm loh…

the first bite of the 烤鸭皮/肉 made me conclude that it’s nicer than 全聚德’s…yes, i personally felt that the texture here was better, and maybe plus the ingredients that went with the skin/meat, the mixture all blended in very well…and of cos, not forgetting the ambience of the restaurant lah…the chinese sure know how to enjoy life now…or…其实简单的来说,也许中国人不过是回到了他们以前曾享有过的”繁荣昌盛”的时代罢了…
(3) 便宜坊烤鸭 – 便利人民,宜室宜家

怎么说呢?是不是有如它的招牌一样,是便宜的烤鸭呢?应该算是吧。给我的印象是平民化,简单的布置,普通得不能再普通的餐馆环境,但烤鸭的味道还是到位的。怎么办?我还是得说,这里的烤鸭也比全聚德的好吃!hmm…是我不会欣赏真正的烤鸭,还是老字号的招牌太响了呢?hmm…值得思考的一个问题…
听说还有一件非常出名的,位于胡同内的烤鸭店,也不知还在不在,看来应该是没机会吃到了…可惜可惜…
