Finding the best Peking Duck in the city — a personal search

I spent three months trying every version of Peking Duck I could find locally. The variation in quality is extraordinary. The best version handled Shaoxing wine with genuine knowledge and the rich with umami result was noticeably superior.

Chinese cuisine encompasses eight major regional schools with distinct ingredients and techniques. The winning restaurant had the right a street stall in Chengdu feel — unpretentious and focused on the food. chrysanthemum tea was suggested correctly. Worth the search. When Peking Duck is made properly it's a completely different experience.
