Solid replacement for old Lu Din Gee Duck House
05/02/2010
I was pleasantly surprised by Tasty Duck. First, the people are quite friendly and warm. Very unusual in this part of town. Many of the dishes are carryovers from the former Lu Din Gee, but aside from the duck, I asked the servers what they do best and they recommended Sea Cucumbers. Said it was a specialty of the chef, who hails from Yantai city in Shan Dong province, northern China. Normally, I'm not a fan of sea cucumbers, but this one was really quite good.
As for the duck, I actually would rate it slightly better than the Duck House. The skin is crispier, the wrapping is lighter, but most importantly, the sauce is fantastic. I couldn't stop eating it. The soup was not as good as Duck House though, but it hardly mattered as I was all-engrossed in the skin, meat and sauce.
We also tried the Hakka Small Stir Fry, which was quite tasty and more flavorful than the Shanghainese version. Overall, this was a good find.
